Freemasons

Actually most jurisdictions only require you to be 18 years of age. In order to become a freemason is to ask one, you do not need to know one personally, just contact the nearest lodge to you and they will lead in the right direction, just be sure not to petition a BOGUS Masonic group, Like International, AF&AM or Compact, these group of masons are not recognized nor are they legit and you will most like get your feelings hurt if you ever leave the country and try attend a meeting.

It's a little like rush, except that you have to explicitly ask them "How do I join?" for the process to start (rather than them inviting you / offering you a bid).

The three basic qualifications are that you must be male, at least 21 (which you've just met), and believe in some form of God.

Good luck

And Eastern Star was actually created for the wives of Mason's primarily, so the no blood relation thing is odd, though he could be considering a spouse to be so.
