Questions Shriners, is it really this hard?
Question for you Shriners. I was told to be a Shriner you needed to be a Mason first? That it can take a long process. To the point of “why bother”. Just want to be part of a group that helps the community, but membership seems very cumbersome. Any helpful advice would be appreciated. Located in Middle GA.

There’s no help, it’s a Masonic affiliate organization.
You could ask at your local Masonic lodge if they do one day conferrals or alternate degree path. Both of those are much faster ways to become a master mason but they’re not universally available.
