Contrary to popular belief Freemasons are not allowed to solicit people for membership to the fraternity. Each member has had to make their own decision about joining.

Becoming a Freemason is not something to be taken lightly. It is an ancient fraternity steeped in tradition, ritual and symbolism. A lot of thought should go into making the decision about joining. If you are considering joining Freemasonry, feel free to discuss the matter with family and friends. If you have family or friends who are Masons then talk to them and they will be able to explain what they can about the fraternity. If you do not know any Freemasons you can always contact Imperial College Lodge via the ‘Contact Us' page and someone will be in touch with you.

The next thing is to find a Lodge that you will want to join. You may wish to join one that your family member or friend of which is a member. However if you wish to join a Lodge connected with Imperial College then you have come to the right place.

If you wish to join Imperial College Lodge and you know a member of the Lodge then please speak to them about joining. Otherwise please contact the Lodge via the ‘Contact Us' page and someone from the Lodge will contact you and give you the details about joining.

Arrangements will be made for you to meet a few members informally or you can attend one of our social events and meet some members of the Lodge. If you still wish to join, you will be given an application form to complete, which includes a joining declaration.

You will then in due course meet a committee of Lodge members, prior to being balloted for membership of the Lodge.

All being well, you will then be given a date for your admission.
