To become a Freemason you must:
Be a man of at least 21 years of age
Be of good moral character
Have a personal belief in a Supreme Being (the definition of a Supreme Being is a personal matter for each individual)
Decide to become a Mason of "your own free will and accord" without expectation of any material gain or benefits
Be loyal to your country
Be dedicated to providing for your own family
Have a sincere determination to conduct yourself in a manner that will earn the respect and trust of others
Possess a desire to help others through community service and universal benevolence
TO PURSUE YOUR INTEREST IN BECOMING A MEMBER follow these steps:
Talk with someone you know who is a Freemason
If you do not know anyone who is a Mason, contact a Lodge in your neighbourhood
Masons do not solicit for members. You'll need to express your personal interest in joining Freemasonry
You may be invited to meet with the Lodge Committee or selected Members to discuss your application and to answer your questions.
Subject to you being considered eligible and properly motivated you will be asked to complete an application for membership and return it to your local Lodge Secretary
Your application will be presented to a Lodge Meeting and a secret ballot conducted in which Members vote on your suitability. You will be notified of the result and invited to attend a Lodge Meeting for your initiation into Membership.

Masons do not solicit membership. You must ask for a petition for membership from a current mason and if you don't know one then if you know where the Masonic Lodge is in your community, stop by or look up their phone number and contact them, you can also e-mail the Grand Lodge in any state or province or contact any other lodges on the Internet.
Generally, the requirements are that you must be:
1. A man [NOTE: there are other branches of Masonry that accept both men and women, or women only]
2. At least 18 years old (varies by state and province but no higher than 21)
3. Believe in the existence of a Supreme Being (of any faith. No particular religion or faith is required or excluded. All are welcome.)
4. Physically capable of conforming to the requirements of the ceremonies
5. A resident of the state/prov for a period of time; its usually no longer than 12 months.
Additionally, you should be prepared to commit one or two nights a month to attending your Lodge. You should be prepared to pay the annual dues. You should be motivated primarily by an interest in fellowship.

You have to be invited to join by another Freemason. So - if any of your friends are masons - ask them to invite you.

Think you have to be a man, learn a funny handshake, and walk around with one trouser leg rolled up. My knowledge comes from TV dramas. What they really do is so secret no one knows.

As far as I know, it's invitation only.
If you know any Freemasons, that'd be a start.
