What city do you live in? Any masonic history in your lineage?
Lodges are set up a bit differently State side. In Texas, specifically, you will find blue collar, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, educators all in the same lodges. You have to visit around to find a lodge that best fits with your expectations of masonry.
Hope you take the plunge and are happy here. My wife's family are immigrants from Colombia, SA. They are well educated, hard working people. That's the ticket to making your mark over here. We are less class conscious in America, but money talks everywhere. There's a fine line.
You will find many, many brothers who are willing to help you along the way.
Great to hear from you. Please stay in touch.
God bless you and yours!
