Masons are men of good character who strive to improve themselves and make the world a better place. They belong to the oldest and most honorable fraternity known to man. If you think you may be interested in becoming a member, you can begin by contacting a Lodge in your area or speaking to a Mason.
What Do Freemasons Do?
The Masonic experience encourages members to become better men, better husbands, better fathers, and better citizens. The fraternal bonds formed in the Lodge help build lifelong friendships among men with similar goals and values.
Beyond its focus on individual development and growth, Masonry is deeply involved in helping people. The Freemasons of North America contribute over two million dollars a day to charitable causes. This philanthropy represents an unparalleled example of the humanitarian commitment of this great and honorable Fraternity. Much of that assistance goes to people who are not Masons. Some of these charities are vast projects. The Shrine Masons (Shriners) operate the largest network of hospitals for burned and orthopedically impaired children in the country, and there is never a fee for treatment. The Scottish Rite Masons maintain a nationwide network of over 150 Childhood Language Disorder Clinics, Centers, and Programs.
Many other Masonic organizations sponsor a variety of philanthropies, including scholarship programs for children, and perform public service activities in their communities. Masons also enjoy the fellowship of each other and their families in social and recreational activities.

Masons help people when in need. A Mason makes a good man better. I am a Mason to you. There are no bad sides to be a Mason, only good.

masons is an organization that help people, through hospitals and fund raisers they also do alot of child hospitals/care. they do help millions of people around the world. but there is a hidden dark side to this group back in the middle ages they fought with Christians, that's how they got the red caps. and the high members are accused of being in a satanic cult. but that is unofficial. and unknown because most of the lower members are good upstanding Christians themselves.

They are a secretive religious organization that tries to do good things in the community. I know someone who is one, but I don't know much about it.
