Can women become Masons? I am in the mood to infiltrate an organization for educational purposes. |

Hmmm. My grandmother could not (back in the 1960s). She was, however, a member of the Eastern Star. Both organizations do a lot with regard to burn centers, and for that, I applaud them.

^^^ I think it is another similar organization (in Gvok's eyes, at least). |

Are you a KOC? Can you tell me about it? How does one become a member? |

The Knights of Columbus are a fraternal charitable organization of Catholic men. They were founded in Connecticut in the late 19th century by Irish Catholics who were being discriminated against for employment and insurance. To become a member you have to be Catholic and want to join. It is not really apples and apples with the Masons as I understand it. |

Yes. I am a member of the KOC. Becoming a member these days is pretty easy: You must be a Catholic male in good standing with the Church (but even that last part depends on how strict individual councils are). LINK:http://www.kofc.org/index.cfm
