Did they have to go through college? None of the men in my family went to college and I'd feel dumb just out and asking them if they were involved with the Mason or not, so I figured I'd ask here first. Thanks!

Nope, being a Mason has nothing to do with college. The majority of Masons and Shriners in my dad's chapter never took any college courses at all.
As far as how did they become Masons to begin with, it's like that old ad "I told 2 friends and so on and so on." From what Dad told me, you have to be asked to join by a present member and it is taboo to bring it up yourself. Whether that's still the way it's done everywhere I'm not sure.
