The Patriotic Degree

    Until 1900 the principles of the Order were Charity, unity and fraternity.  On Feb. 22 of that year patriotism was added
with the first Exemplification of the Fourth Degree.  Sometimes called the Patriotic Degree, it is open to Third Degree Knights
 in good standing who have been members of the Order for at least 6 months. The primary purpose of the Patriotic Degree is to
foster  the spirit of patriotism by promoting citizenship, loyalty to country and the love of God. The basic unit of the Fourth Degree
is called an assembly.  It serves one or more local councils.  Fourth Degree members are referred to as Sir Knights, and
they may choose to join the assembly's color corps, which serves as an honor guard at civic and religious functions. 
Color corps members are readily identifiable by their regalia (uniforms) consisting of tuxedo plumed chapeau, cape, sword
and white gloves.
