Scottish Rite is an appendant body of Freemasonry. The major philanthropy of Scottish Rite is support for speech, language and hearing services for children with the idea that no child will go unserved due to inability to pay. The Department of Communication Sciences & Disorders at USD, the Scottish Rite Foundation of South Dakota and the Sioux Empire United Way have made a strong commitment to children with communication needs.
