Some of the many privileges of being a Grotto Member

An open sesame for fun and a fuller life for the whole family, including enjoyment of beautiful ceremonials, installations, circus events, family picnics, pilgrimages to near and far places, football and baseball games, plus big parades.

The opportunity to meet with your fellow Prophets - many of whom are professional, business, and civic leaders - and to make lasting friendships.

Being a Grotto member enables you the opportunity of sharing in two great humanitarian projects - Cerebral Palsy Research and Dental Care for Children with Special Needs. Every Master Mason, because he is eligible to become a member of the Grotto, can join in the humanitarian work which the Grotto is so fervently sponsoring.

The right to associate yourself with other Grottoes - one of which is near your home. To participate in such social affairs as theatre parties, dinner dances, nights at the races, sweetheart dances, and local functions.

The right to wear the Grotto Fez and Grotto Pin, identifying yourself as a member of the Mystic Order of Veiled Prophets of the Enchanted Realm - also known as the Grottoes of North America - the greatest fraternal order a Master Mason can join.

A welcome to visit any of the Grottoes throughout the United States and Canada. Thousands of Prophets are proud to wear the Black Fez and Mokanna pin.

The Grotto gives you the privilege of joining many units - clowns, bands, pipe bands, horse units, marching units, cast, string bands, motor patrol, drum corps, and choral groups.

Belonging to the Grotto gives you the opportunity of wearing a colorful uniform and permits you the privilege of participating in Grotto parades.

Prophets have reached the zenith of attainment when they have learned to express their principles of Masonry as "doing good for others."
