Some of the "loss" is actually one of two things, improved reporting and endowed members, both for the same reason. Thse reports are pulled in the simplest manor, number of per capita dues collected. In this manor people who pay per capitas at multiple lodges within or across grand lodges could...
Exactly, and especially if you are a member in Texas and Kansas, because if you violate Texas grand lodge law you can be suspended, and and if suspended in one, and suspended in all, the vis a vis Kansas membership suspended too.
I'll be getting the 32nd put on me this Saturday in Graham, and along with my father. I'll be the young one with a yod on each wrist, tattooed on the tendon/palm sides.

I put "family members" because it is the primary reason, my father and several uncles are Freemasons, I don't believe either grandfather was but both exemplify the way a mason should live in their charity to others.
But, the real reason was more of an epiphany moment, like many brothers have...
Hail brothers!
