It's fairly easy. There are only two regular jurisdictions operating in each state in the U.S. They will be called either the GL of (State) or the Most Worshipful Prince Hall GL of (State) (with exception to MS and FL MW Stringer GL and MW Union GL respectively)
As an FC, I'm pretty sure that ring wouldn't be appropriate. You should consult with your WM and PMs for more information as to why. I'm sure they'll point you in the right direction.

It depends on what the GL constitution says about it. It matters not what the brothers think if it doesn't fall in law with GL law.

What? This doesn't make any sense. You are a member of the MWPHGLoVA but your lodge is not PHA? Please help me understand. I think I see what you are saying but I need a little help.

I would recommend that you be able to answer questions if necessary, but I haven't experienced brothers "charging up" other brothers because of their gear, so maybe you won't get hit with a thousand questions.

First, congrats on taking the first step to becoming a brother in our great fraternity. What city and state are you in Justin?

Do endowments allow brothers to not pay anymore GL dues or is that for local lodge dues? Maybe someone could shed some light on the process for me.

Doesn't happen. It's just another one of those things that the mystique of freemasonry seems to be unable to dodge. I'm very strong in my faith and I can assure you that no soul selling is happening in the fraternity.

That is correct. That lodge and GL would be considered clandestine by all regular (GLo* or MWPHGLo*) GLs in the world. Save your time and money.

International Free an Accepted Masons are a bogus organization operating in the U.S. They can't travel locally, let alone, internationally.

Shoot me a message and I will put you in contact with some sisters who can assist you. Don't worry, be thankful that you found out now.
