I was just raised and i am considering joining the YR. How much time is required in this body compared to the Blue Lodge? Is there any memorization of degrees?
Good advice.No memorization. Ask how often the bodies meet in your jurisdiction. It varies.
Yes, just like the Blue Lodge the Chapter, Council and KT are usually looking for people to serve in elected and appointed positions. However, this is not mandatory. I greatly enjoy the York Rite so I volunteered to serve in all three, which I do.I have heard that a lot of guys are roped into officer positions pretty quick in the RAM, CC and eventually KT.
Congratulations soon to be Companion.I will be joining this August 5th at norman lodge in Oklahoma.
interesting!The Chapter and Council complete the story you have already started. You have read three chapters of an 8-9 chapter book, and they aren't necessarily the first three changes.
The time commitment is entirely up to you.
You will more than likely have the opportunity to fill officer spots in the coming year, and it is an excellent training ground for when you get into the officer line of the Blue Lodge.

I was advised to wait 6 months after being raised and I took the advice.I would wait awhile, get your feet firmly grounded in your Craft Lodge first.

I think he meant that there's no memorization for the degrees....What's York Rite ?
*pauses*... I never thought of asking, but would a Chapter of HRA read its ritual ? No so here... I think RAM reads though.. not sure about the others, but I could ask if you wanted to know..

Correct RAM = Royal Ark MarinerFrom a recent conversation with Bro. Bloke, RAM here does not mean Royal Arch Mason but Royal Ark Mariner.

I was just recommended to that and I'll probably take the advice.I would wait awhile, get your feet firmly grounded in your Craft Lodge first.
