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.
