<human>: How does one become a member of a secret society like the Masons?
<bot>: To join a Masonic lodge, you must be sponsored by an existing member and attend a three-day initiation ceremony. During this time, you will learn about the history of Freemasonry and its principles, as well as receive instruction in the ritual of the order. You will also have to take an oath of secrecy and promise to abide by the Masonic Code. After the ceremony, you will become a Master Mason and can participate in the various activities of the Lodge.
