belly dancer,
A woman must be the wife, daughter (biological or adopted), sister, mother, or widow of a Master Mason to be eligible for membership. Some chapters also accept grandaughters, sister-in-laws, mother-in-laws, step-mothers, step-sisters, half-sisters, and neices of Master Masons. (Please check with your local chapter for their requirements.) She must be at least 18 years old, be of good moral character, be free of mental illness, have a belief in a Supreme Being, be willing to assume the obligation of The Order, be able to participate in the initiation ceremony, not have any felony convictions, and be a resident of her state for at least 12 months. A man must be a Master Mason in good standing to be eligible for membership. Sometimes the state may have open enrollment, which means you don't have to be related to a Master Mason. Check with your local chapter about that.
