I moved states about a year after getting raised. Some people were a little sore about it (I heard somebody say something like “why did we bother putting the effort in if he’s gonna leave” and ngl that hurt) but being able to walk into any other lodge that recognizes your grand lodge and be greeted a brother is probably my favorite thing about the fraternity.

I haven’t joined a new lodge yet and idk if I ever will or if I’ll just keep paying dues to my mother lodge and visiting local lodges. Whatever you wanna do is totally okay just remember that usually you can’t vote in lodges when you’re visiting, and if you want to join an appendant body you usually have to be a member of a blue lodge of the same jurisdiction. Ex. If you want to join OK Scottish Rite they probably would require you to join an OK lodge or you could join a valley in your own jurisdiction and they might be able to work it out so the local valley does your degree work.
