Can women join Freemasonry?

While Ohio Freemasonry views all people, regardless of sex or gender identity, as equals and all part of God’s creation and worthy of respect, the Grand Lodge of Ohio continues to observe the Masonic Landmark that only adult males can be made Masons.

In Ohio, there are other excellent organizations, some with a strong Masonic connection, such as Ohio Eastern Star, that provide women with similar fraternal experiences. Learn more about other Masonic organizations and opportunities.
