Concordant bodies are those organizations that are affiliated with Freemasonry. Many concordant bodies require membership in a Blue Lodge prior to joining.

The Scottish Rite is a concordant body of Masonry, meaning that it is not part of the Craft Lodge per se, but closely associated with Masonry.  It requires that a man be a Master Mason before joining the Scottish Rite.  The Scottish Rite confers the 4th through 32nd degrees. The degree work may be, but is not necessarily, completed at one time. Any Master Mason is eligible to join the Scottish Rite. The degrees of the Scottish Rite continue the symbolism of the first three Masonic degrees.

The York Rite, like the Scottish Rite, is a concordant body of Masonry, and confers degrees beyond the Craft Lodge's three degrees. It consists of nine additional degrees: Mark Master, Past Master, Most Excellent Master, and Royal Arch Mason; the Cryptic Degrees of the Royal Master, Select Master, and Super Excellent Master; and the Chivalric Orders of the Order of the Red Cross, Order of the Knights of Malta and the Order of Knights Templar.  As with most things Masonic, discuss any concerns with your local York Rite, who can advise you regarding your eligibility.

The Shrine was founded in 1872 and an Arabic theme was chosen. Hence, the distinctive red fez that Shriners wear at official functions. Members of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles the Mystic Shrine for North America (AAONMS is an anagram for "A MASON") were, up until recently members of the Scottish Rite's 32nd degree, and/or Knights Templer of the York Rite.  Any Master Mason in good standing may petition the Shrine for membership.  The Shrine is most noted for its emphasis on philanthropy and its jolly outlook on life - it has been called "the playground of Masonry".  This is expressed as "Pleasure without intemperance, hospitality without rudeness, and jollity without coarseness."
