Technically not, because you said that you would follow the rules and regs of any GL jusrisdiction that you are visiting, etc., etc.
That being said, I doubt anybody would pitch a fit and they sure as heck wouldn't bring you up on charges. Worst case scenario: We've always got spare white...
There are a couple of informative posts on this subject. Search "custom aprons" and you'll find them.
The law reads that non-officers and non-past masters have to wear plain white aprons with no borders or adornment. Now, what your Lodge practices is also a factor. Some Texas Lodges have white...
"Let sleeping dogs lie." "What's that sign ahead read? 'Mine Field'? Column left, MARCH!" "What the GM doesn't know, doesn't hurt him."
No, just kidding. I've already seen a few DDGMs in my area tackle some pretty difficult issues. I don't pray that you won't have any issues...but that you have...
Unfortunately, I probably only know less than 10% of the Brethren at my Lodge and I've been to nearly every dinner since May (including the installation of Officers)... :-(
That will get worked out. In Texas it has very little impact because Grand Lodge has said it is fine to be with the Grand Encampment even though recognition had been rescinded, but noone is allowed to take part in the Grand Priory of USA. These are all small spikes in the signal that seem...
So sorry Brother. I got dragged by my DDGM (now past-DDGM) to dinner and to the hospitality rooms. I'd been up since 4 a.m. so I didn't last much past nine. I'll find an excuse (not than I need anymore than this) to get over to the Houston area to take you Brothers out. Let me know when you guys...
I was there watching you march into the temple. I was standing and applauding for all one hundred and forty-five of you District Deputy Grand Masters. (Texas is enormous: everything is bigger in Texas--including--TEXAS.) Congrats Right Worshipful Sir!
Correction: There are 147 DDGMs in Texas...
It is fine to write: EA Degree at [Name] Lodge on [date] at [time]. Just no names and such.
If you can break away on Saturday you could drive to Grand Lodge in Waco and watch the Installation for the Grand Officers. I think it starts at 1 p.m. Parking will be impossible, but if you're actually...
You obligated to follow the regulations of the Grand Lodge's jurisdiction that you are in (i.e. Texas if you are visiting). That would be the only hang up (and it is a most important one). Sorry Brother. Most of us here would like the same thing...
Clean underwear...
I'm actually in Grapevine. PM me with the particulars (per Grand Lodge Law you cannot announce your degree dates and times, at least publicly). I may try to attend if it fits my schedule. Congrats Friend.
P.S. The Goat doesn't care what you wear.
