Affiliating.

Are EAs or FCs able to affiliate and join multiple lodges or is this reserved for masters?
I love the social aspect of my home lodge but find a lot of value from the cultures and priorities of others.

My question would be, how long does it take to reach the 3rd degree in your area typically? If 3-6 months, I'd probably just wait. If its over a year and you just cant wait, you need to check with secretaries but i doubt it's normal practice. Secondly, you can visit lodges usually all you want if they are open on the appropriate degree.

I’m unaware of a GL which allows this, but your question would be better directed to someone in your jurisdiction.
I agree w/ Br. Lewey. Just wait a bit.

Hi David.

An EA or FC can be a member of multiple lodges in Victoria, but I would normally recommend you visit a lodge several times before joining it...

I was a constant visitor and IG at a lodge here for years - but never joined it. Never wanted to go through the Chair there or be actually installed in an office in that lodge, so I never signed up. They were our daughter lodge and I was just there to support them..

Must be a mm in nj.

Also, our jurisdiction differentiates between dual, plural and affiliate so we may not be on the same page anyhow.

In Kentucky only Master Masons can do this.
