The  Order of the Purple Cross of York, the highest honor of the College, is conferred upon those members of the College who have distinguished themselves by their service to humanity or to the Rite.  The recipients are designated Associate Regents of the Sovereign College and from their ranks are chosen the Regents or active members of that body.   This is sometimes compared to the 33° awarded in the Scottish Rite. The Sovereign College meets in General Assembly once each year, generally in late July or early August.

If you are an Associate Regent/Regent and would like to nominate a Companion Knight, click HERE to contact the Secretary.
