I’ve always heard “ride the goat.”
I've got family that are Prince Hall/Eastern Stars, it seems like it's just a hang-out/community thing like breh's in here have said. Surprisingly, there's some crossover with Nation stuff like paying dues, etc. That shyt is hella deep, I was in a museum with a family member and they were pointing out paintings from the 1600's and the tells they put in the pictures like the dudes standing with the four fingers and what not.

They’re always looking for new members contrary to popular belief. They need the funding besides a handful of big lodges.
2 of my friends are Freemasons and are good people. Doesn’t stop me from joking with them about them having to frequently smash a goat

It all sounds nice, but never saw how it would benefit me, same thing as frats in college, so I never bothered with either

Yesterday while I was at work I dealt with a customer (an older breh who was likely between late 60's early 70's) who had on a bright blue winter cap with the masonic compass, square, and "G" symbol on it.
I already know about the "Ask one to be one rule", so I figured "fukk it" and asked about it as slickly as possible.
Me: So, how does one become a "member"?
Old Dude: (Pausing for a moment before he caught on) Well, you gotta ask one first
Me: Hmmm
Him: Yeah, you ask a member, fill out an application, and the process goes from there. I've been a member since 1975
Me: Really?
Him: Yep, great thing to be a part of.
Me: That's what I've heard.
Him: You got a card? Write down your name and number.
I grabbed a piece of paper, wrote down my name and phone number and handed it to him. He scanned it for a second, smiled and said "somebody will be in touch with you soon" before waving goodbye and gently grasping my right forearm.
My question is, can I actually expect anything to come from this? Or could he just brush me off like "Yeah, alright lil nikka"?
I don't have connections or anything like that to "solidify" me in a sense. I'm just a nobody trying to crawl out of the sewer and finally reach the surface
Traditionally, you get selected…. Things may have changed now….

My uncle was a Freemason but he was also a pastor and used to say you can’t serve two masters… he wasn’t active for a while. I think he had to do with paying tithes and dues but I’m not sure. I wanted to pick his brain but I ain’t want him asking me about coming to church lol

Every old guy on my block, except my stepfather, was a freemason. Despite all the "Brotherhood" talk, the free masons are a racially segregated organization. Black masons are part of the Prince Hall segment of the Free Masons. kind of like a college frat, they patron each other's businesses hard. If you own a business, the other free masons will use your services. I have heard some weird stories regarding people who worked in lower levels of government like city councilman or state congressional members, where the Free masons higher ups called on their members to vote a certain way. I would avoid it.

This. They could be clandestine. THOSE are the ones you avoid. Make sure they are under the jurisdiction of your state's Grand Lodge.
