Are we trying to force our membership to be involved? Or are we doing things that make them want to be involved? #ThisIsOhioFreemasonry #strivetobebetter

You can drive people to do something, or you can draw people to do something, and therein lies all the difference.

Lodges are private and have their own etiquette. That said, if they’re failing to engage younger members, being instructed to wear full suits at Lodges of Instruction could be just the tip of the iceberg.
Without adaptation, our Lodges probably wouldn’t have survived beyond 1720
