How to Join

Although Freemasonry is secular and multi-denominational, all candidates for membership must declare a belief in a Supreme Being. All candidates must also be of demonstrable good character and be at least 18 years old. Additionally, membership of Apollo University Lodge is open only to matriculated members of the University of Oxford or members of Congregation.

Serious and eligible applicants should complete the form below.

Members of other universities should visit the website of the UGLE Universities Scheme to find a Lodge affiliated with their institution, and members of Oxford Brookes University are especially directed to Blockley Lodge. Those based in Oxford but not affiliated to a university may direct their enquiries to the Provincial Grand Lodge of Oxfordshire.

Please note that Apollo University Lodge is governed by the Constitutions of the United Grand Lodge of England which is, and has always been, restricted to men. Women Freemasons have two separate Grand Lodges which are restricted to women: the Order of Women Freemasons and the Honorable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons. The latter organisation also operates a University Scheme that may be of interest to women university students.
