How To Join


The degrees and orders of the York Rite are conferred by local Chapters, Councils and Commanderies in the intimate setting of local lodge rooms, with the added dramatic benefits of live theater. In addition, statewide or area festivals are called from time to time at announced locations where all the degrees and orders can be received in one day, or during a weekend.

According to Oklahoma Masonic Law, the York Rite is open to all Master Masons who have been Master Masons for at least six months or passed their proficiency in the third degree of Masonry; and to all Scottish Rite Masons who have not yet become Companions and Knights of the York Rite.

A general petition for the York Rite bodies is available online (Adobe Acrobat is required to view, fill out and print this form). For further information on joining, contact any York Rite Mason you know, or the Grand Secretary-Recorder at grandsecrec@sbcglobal.net.
