I do it to remind myself of where I am, where I have been and where I am headed next on my walk through life and Masonry.

I am not aware of any similar requirements (it wouldn't be the first time I expose my own ignorance if there is one) in my jurisdiciton. However, I do encourage you to lower the boom on the sloppy work that may find its way into your Lodge, as I will do in mine. Besides, why bother going-up into the East if you can't make some positive changes?!? Happy New Year my Brother. -AEdifico Jeff,

In my jurisdiction, we are not only informed that the position of attention is on the step, but that the D-G and P-S are to be given while on the step. In my experience, I am the only one in my lodge who adheres to this without fail, in spite of the fact that it is an injunction given on page 1 of our monitor & handbook. I am tempted, in my year as Master, to only recognize brethren who rise and give the D-G and P-S on the step. (explaining why upon infractions, of course) That'd teach them right quickly.
