There certainly was something incorrect about the way things were handled. I would apologize for the fraternity in general if the accounts are correct. I would highly suggest that you speak with someone from the local lodge. I am located in Pennsylvania, however, I would assume that there is a contact number for the closest lodge to you in the phone book (normally under fraternal organizations in the yellow pages). There will probably be a recording of some sort identifying day and time of meetings. I would suggest that if you can contact someone from the lodge, and identify yourself as a possible candidate, they should lead you in the right direction. If that fails, you could contact the Grand Lodge of Kentucky and as for contact information on lodges near you.

If Kentucky is like Pennsylvania, after you petition a lodge and are rejected from it, there is a mandatory 6 month waiting period before you may petition again. If you were truly rejected without being interviewed, I would assume that you were not actually rejected, but merely "neglected".

If I may ask another question about things, did you fill out a petition for a specific lodge? A petition is normally signed by two (2) mason's, your recommenders, did that happen that you know of? If it did, I would urge you to speak with either of them about what happened.

Good luck with the process, and please keep us informed on your status.

PS: Hope this and all answers are helpful to you.
