Ceremonials

Degree Responsibilities - The responsibilities for conducting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degrees are available through each of the District Deputies, Regional District Deputies, or myself. Before you host any degree, please obtain a copy and read these guidelines - they have changed.

We are now taking requests to host 3rd degrees for the next fraternal year - July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. The following are dates that we cannot host a degree on:

The month of :
October 15, 2011
November 26, 2011
December 24 and 31, 2011
January 7, 14, 21, and 28, 2012
May 19, 2012

Special Note: With the changes to the Third Degree, smaller councils can now host a Third Degree and we can have as few as 10 to 15 candidates. We are also looking at hosting some on a Friday evening without a dinner afterwards, just some snacks and drinks. This would be a lot easier and less expensive all the way around. I will try to have the details available at the Organizational Meeting. If you think you might be interested, check the current schedule and the dates we can't have a degree, then get with me right away. We will schedule them on a first come first serve basis. Let's try to have at least 2 dozen Third Degrees in the new fraternal year. We will certainly do more if we can.

Please contact me as soon as you can to ensure your date is locked in.
