Is there anything Erik Conrad didn't do?  I will definitly look into all of those different organizations as time permits. I know for sure that I want to do Scottish Rites and York Rites before I venture out any further. Thanks to all for the support..TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!! Any suggestions anyone?

You're getting your EA degree tonight? Congratulations, my soon-to-be Brother!
Once you are raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason, you will be cornered by everyone and their uncle for you to join the Masonic appendant bodies. While the ceremonies for the Scottish Rite, York Rite and the Shrine are impressive, it would take a lot of commitment if you wish to become active in these organizations as well as in Blue Lodge.
I'm a member of both Scottish Rite, York Rite and the Shrine, but am currently inactive in those bodies. It took the better part of my free time attending meetings and ceremonies. Eventually I'll get back to them, but first I have to complete my term as Associate Patron and Worthy Patron in Eastern Star before I focus my time in other organizations. I might consider going through the chairs in my local Blue Lodge afterward.
