My dad is a Mason. They do have connections, but like any group, they Rich Lodges and Poor Lodges. They are also divided between Whites, Black, and Hispanics lodges, even by country of origin lodges.
His lodge has tried several times to get me in, even mentioned that it would be easy for me, but I don't have the time to get involved.
You have to be invited, it's not something you can simply go, and be a part off. Most of the hispanic lodges here in Miami don't have much of a membership, as the younger guys like us, don't want to join.
Once you join a lodge, you can transfer to another, with a letter from the head mason. So you could try finding a lodge with a small group of elderly guys, who want to replenish their ranks, once you are in, wait a few months, and start visiting other lodges, then eventually leave for the lodge you want to be a part off.
It's like joining a Fraternity, or social club, so do keep that in mind.
They are also like a cult, and do spiritual rituals, can't say much, but if you read some books about the different levels and powers you attain as you master each level, you may end up not wanting to join.
I do admire, that they recognise each other, and that once they introduce themselves, they do help each other out.
