ALL initiated members of Sigma Pi Fraternity, International.

Master of Ritual was designed to be equally accessible by Undergraduate and Alumni brothers.

Master of Ritual is 100% optional. The idea is to provide a quest to deeper ΣΠ wisdom for those who seek it.

No retroactive trial completion method has yet been approved. The Ritual Committee is dedicated to both the accessibility of the quest, and its integrity of intent. Currently, all brothers begin their quest anew when joining and must redo any trial tasks they may have previously completed in order to receive credit.

MySigmaPi.com will allow you to search the Sigma Pi database for other members on the Master of Ritual quest by location, degree, and contact information under “Member/Alumni Search” –> “Standing”.

You are already in the right place! Click the “Application” button at the top of this page and complete the form. Once submitted, a member of the Grand Chapter Ritual Committee will confirm you are an initiated membership in good standing and send you a confirmation email welcoming you to your Master of Ritual quest.

Trials one through eight may be completed in any order. However, degrees must be earned in order, regardless of advance trials’ completion.

i.e. if trials 5, 6, and 7 have been completed but trial 3 remains incomplete, the Traveler Degree may not may earned since the Acolyte Degree must precede it.

Quest Map

Since everyone starts at the beginning of the quest, and people with higher degrees are required to witness the completing of each degree, some brother can act with “Honorary” degrees in order to supply more witnesses initially.

“Honorary”* degrees possible, by title:

• H. Acolytes*: Chapter Directors
• H. Travelers*: Executive Director, Regional Directors, Province Archons
• H. Zealots: Grand Chapter Ritual Committee members
• There are no H. Masters. The title “Master of Ritual” can only be earned

*After attending 1 MoR Workshop

Should a person with an “Honorary” degree earn the same degree naturally, he should simply discard the “H.” from his signature of approval.

Master of Ritual degrees are increasingly difficult and/or time-consuming by design.

While it is estimated that one could aggressively achieve Mastery within 6-12 months, a more typical pace is likely to take a full Biennium.

Many may complete some, but not all four degrees; it’s each member’s choice as to how far they progress.

Master of Ritual is completely self-funded by a one-time enrollment fee of $50 USD at the time of application.

Enrollment fee covers:

• 1 Quest Journal, a personal workbook and instruction guide
• 4 lapel pins
• 1 Master of Ritual medallion
• Shipping for all of the above

Should you lose your Quest Journal, you may purchase a replacement for $10 from the Executive Office. Broken/Lost lapel pins may be replaced at no cost.
