Home 33rd Degree Masons
The Thirty-third Degree is conferred upon those members of the Thirty-second Degree who have been outstanding in their contributions to Freemasonry, the Scottish Rite, or who have shown in their communities the leadership which marks them as men who exemplify in their daily lives the true meaning of the Brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. It cannot be sought by application, but must be such a man as described above who has been nominated by the Deputy of his state.
He must not be less than 33 years of age, and may be elected at an Annual Meeting of the Supreme Council, a Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Thirty-third and Last Degree, Honorary Member of the Supreme Council. Such election shall be by unanimous vote of the Active Members present taken by secret ballot. The degree is conferred at the Annual Meeting of the Supreme Council next succeeding the election of a candidate.
At Valley of Dayton functions, Honorary Members of Supreme Council are distinguished by their wearing of the white cap.
