As the world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization, Freemasonry in South Carolina is guided by the enduring belief that we each have a responsibility to make the world a better place.

Tracing our roots back to the medieval stonemasons who built the great cathedrals of Europe, our fraternity evolved as these guilds began to welcome “Accepted” Masons—men of integrity who sought to build their character rather than stone walls. For over three centuries, we have remained dedicated to strengthening the character of our members through fellowship, the search for truth, and a commitment to being good citizens.

By fostering true fellowship, the Masons of South Carolina remain committed to the ongoing work of self-improvement and the refinement of individual character, striving to lead lives of integrity that leave a lasting, positive impact on our communities.
