Not true. My cousin was invited to join by an employee at his work site. No one in our family was ever a mason.
You are correct and I stand corrected; I asked a family member. New Mason members must be invited by a current member and go through an approval and initiation process.
It's these other organizations where you must be related.
Job's Daughters - for young women DeMolay - for young men Eastern Star - for adult women
I looked up how many organizations are affiliated with Masons and it blew my mind. So, I can't say if others require it.
Interestingly, I only experienced initiations of Masons in the public "ceremony", but I watched a video that included a closed initiation that was definitely weirdo ritualistic. I asked my BIL, he was a Master Mason too, if they actually did that, and he said yes.
