What is a 33rd degree Mason?
The Scottish Rite awards a special honorary degree, the 33rd, to those
it feels has made an outstanding contribution to Masonry, the
community as a whole, and to mankind. There is no way to "achieve"
this degree or "take" it, in the sense that one takes the 4th through
32nd degrees in the Scottish Rite. It is a singular honor, rarely
bestowed, and greatly admired.
