 “A Texas Lodge with a Scot’s Accent”

This motto is unique to Robert Burns lodge and refers to our own nuanced brand of traditional Masonry built on a strong foundation of ritual excellence, elegance of dress, and a dining experience designed to enlighten and promote fellowship among brethren. To honor our namesake, Robert Burns lodge also incorporates bagpipe music and poetry readings from the canon of Brother Robert Burns where appropriate.

 

Burns Traditions

June Table Lodge

This festive board is conducted over dinner and follows an adapted German table lodge ritual with banquet tables arranged in a U-shaped configuration and a seating order designed to promote structure and fellowship. The Robert Burns Table Lodge includes the tradition of Masonic Fire--a series of toasts to our country & fraternity each followed by a formal battery and Vivat salute.

October Lecture Series

Every October, Robert Burns lodge offers its members & guests access to a top-level Masonic scholar, selected from a national pool, and invited to lecture on a Masonic topic of symbolic, esoteric, or historical significance. Funding for this event is supported through the annual Burns Cup Golf Tournament.
