I agree, Kyle. I would love for Masonry to get more "ink", and to be out in the public eye. The fraternity gets very little publicity. Did you know that there are three youth organizations in the Masonic family?
The Order of DeMolay, for young men 13-21
The Order of the Rainbow For Girls, for young ladies 13-21
and the Job's Daughters, for Girls who are relatives of Masons.
These fine organizations introduce young people to the Craft, and 90% or more of DeMolay grads go on to Freemasonry.
Some states (ex: Oklahoma) have an outreach program, where Masons visit college Greek-letter fraternities, and introduce college students to Freemasonry. These young men, already have an understanding of the "dynamics" of a fraternal organization, and they can see that Freemasonry has the potential to continue that dynamic, after they leave college.
If Freemasonry could increase its outreach to youth, and show young men, the benefits and joys of the fraternity, I am certain that we would get more petitioners.
