Before I joined I had to decrypt some documents, and learn some stuff from said documents. That took a while, but I understand that that's not done so much anymore - with the older members dying off, and increasingly fewer people caring to join, many lodges have "streamlined" the process (so I hear, anyway).
A lot of people join simply because they want to be a Shriner - it's a separate organization, but a prerequisite is that you must be a Freemason first. They actually drink in their lodges. Real party animals, those Shriners.
