Hey y’all hope you are having a great weekend. A little background about myself is I am a 21 y/o college student, I have many family members who have passed away that I learned to be Freemasons. As well as grandparents still alive that I have reason to believe are masons.
Around 6 months ago I sent a petition in to my local lodge near my university. I was told that when I sent my petition in that, “The wheels move slowly in Freemasonry, but we should vote on you in the next three weeks.”. I waited around 6 months, until a couple weeks ago I finally decided to send a text message to the Worshipful Master who sponsored me asking if a decision had been made. He replied saying he was not in office anymore but that it was definitely too long to have waited. He sent a text message to the new secretary and I was told that they would look back in the notes the next day and get back to me. Two weeks have passed and I have not received an answer or the fee that they collected when I sent the petition in. How should I go on dealing with this situation? Is this a normal situation?
