A FRATERNITY
Accepting men from all walks of life who demonstrate upright conduct and acknowledge a belief in God. Illinois Freemasonry is a Fraternal order inculcating the precepts of equality, charity, tolerance, fellowship, and brotherly love among its members.
ENLIGHTENMENT
Lodges provide enlightenment through Masonic symbols, allegorical lessons, and education that endeavors to strengthen and improve the character of the individual man, enhancing his moral and spiritual outlook so that he may adopt a life exemplifying the principles of personal responsibility and righteous living.
WITH BENEVOLENCE
Thus, Masons strive to promote community and human welfare and inspire acts promoting benevolence, charity, and goodwill toward all mankind; translating Masonic principles and conviction into personal actions ultimately makes the world they live in a better place.
