Shriners fraternity at university of houston?
The Shriners were formed in 1870 in New York. Its founders chose to adopt a Middle Eastern or North African theme, calling their new club the "Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine." Fezzes were a popular headwear among Moroccans (the lack of a peak means that the hat can be worn while performing prayers in the Muslim style) and was consistent with the theme. Although all Shriners are Freemasons, the focus of the organization is on having fun, rather than the more serious topics dealt with in the Masonic Lodges.
Probably the same way everyone else feels about them. Freemasons aren't a religious sect.

Freemasons are from many religious traditions. As a result, they all pray differently. In other words, Jewish freemasons will pray differently from Christian freemasons. The members of this fraternal organization will observe the same rituals during their meetings or events; but in their personal lives, they pray in whatever way their religion has encouraged. Freemasons do not tell their members what religion they should be.
For the same reasons anyone else might kneel.
