When a Catholic gentleman applies to become a member of the Knights of Columbus his application is voted on by the members of the council. Following a favorable vote the applicant becomes a member by initiation in what is called the First Degree. Subsequently he advances through the Second and Third degrees. Each Degree is associated with one of the Principles of the Order. 1st Principle (Degree) - Charity is the first principle of the order. 2nd Principle (Degree) - Unity is the second principle of the Knights of Columbus. 3rd Principle (Degree) - Fraternity is the third principle of the Order. Members who have been in the Knights for one year and have attained Third Degree membership are eligible to join the Fourth Degree Knights. 4th Principle (Degree) - Patriotism is the principle of the Fourth Degree.
