Freemasonry is a men’s fraternity. In the state of Tennessee, F. & A.M. lodges are exclusively male. This practice has deep historical roots and is maintained by many jurisdictions around the world. However, it’s important to note that the policies regarding women in Freemasonry can vary significantly between different jurisdictions and countries.
In Tennessee, the Free and Accepted Masons (F. & A.M.) uphold the tradition of male-only membership. This policy is based on the longstanding customs and regulations that have defined the fraternity since its inception.
