Grand York Rite Bodies
These are the four Masonic organizations that make up the American York Rite in South Carolina. They are the governing bodies in this jurisdiction.
Chair & Milestone Degrees
The three Chair Degrees are optional degrees available to be conferred on eligible Elected Heads of each body.
The Knight York Cross of Honor (KYCH) is an invitational body conferred on those York Rite Masons who serve as heads of all four bodies.
Appendant Bodies
These are South Carolina’s invitational and honorary Masonic organizations that require membership in one or more York Rite Body. All represent exploration into more light in Masonry, and some acknowledge honorable achievement.
