Congratulations my friend. I'm glad the interview went so well. I have to admit, the "wear sweat pants and a white shirt" has me thrown lol. Sounds like they are going to keep you busy. Best of luck.

Congratulations to you. The first major step completed on your journey, and a LONG road ahead. You can “expect” to be a bit overwhelmed with all of the sights and details of your degrees.

You’ll be just fine, just don’t let your brain get in the way of the journey. Oh, and stay off the internet sites that could contaminate your learning experience, this one is safe enough for you.

As to the attire requested... If that is what you were told to wear, then I’d have my best on.

Having given it a little more thought... are you sure they said sweat pants and a white shirt, and not dress pants and a white shirt?

The word "education" says there will be no ritual. For ritual the words we use include training, practice, conferral and degree but never education.

This will be some sort of informal event - explicit from the sweat pants. Without ritual - explicit from the use of the word education.

I figure this will be some sort of explanation with plenty of chance for you to ask questions.

Could this be a PHA lodge? I’ve heard rumors of pre-EA candidates going to classes and being educated on the history of PHA.

No PHA candidate is sent to any classes before they are initiated. But that's how candidates are dressed for degree work. If you want to know more about PHA then ask but please don't post unfounded rumors.

I apologize Bro Hill, pardon the misunderstanding. Thank you for clarifying - absolutely no offense intended and regret if I had made any.

There is a new thing here - pre-education - consists of a video on the values of Freemasonry. I actually think it is a good idea as one of many to try to address retention.

We do an education session prior to receiving the EA degree in PA. It is mostly on the history of Freemasonry, goes over some famous Freemasons, a bit of Lodge History, and answering questions that can be answered.
