Please join us for our newest "Fraternal Spotlight" episode. Brothers Rhit Moore, Grant Gates, and Gabriel Jagush sit down to chat with Right Worshipful Brother Brad Billings, 2017 District Deputy Grand Master, Masonic District #64B of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Texas! In this episode, we get to know Brother Brad a little better, and we ask him a lot of questions. From his Blue Lodge experiences, to who his influences are, to the whole "Scottish Rite vs York Rite" discussion (and why there shouldn't be a "vs" in there), to obscure invitational bodies, there's a lot to cover. We will definitely have to have Brad back for Round 2. Maybe Rounds 3 & 4, too. What's Brad been up to lately? What's the deal with chartering bodies? What do we need to do right now in order to survive & thrive as a fraternity? What's the deal with the super-exclusive invitationals? How should one best tackle the search for additional light? All this, and more, in this episode.

This is one of our longest episodes, so we have omitted news & events for the sake of time. Thank you for understanding.
