Chapter, Council, and Commandery: the American York Rite.
A sequence of three separate bodies rather than one organization: the Royal Arch Chapter, the Cryptic Council, and the Knights Templar Commandery. Each has its own membership, officers, and regalia. Pennsylvania Masons will find this lane particularly well stocked, since the York Rite is strong here.
