The chivalric activities of The Augustan Society, Inc., are gathered under largely conducted by the [[Chivalry DepartmentCommittee]]. This consists of a Chairman appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the President, and such committee members as said Chairman may appoint, subject to the [[Policy on Committee Membership|policy on committee membership]].

==Under a chairman named by the President, members with knowledge in this field serve primarily as advisors to the [[Board]]. Their particular duties include making recommendations on the recognition of Orders of Chivalry Committees==(and similar organizations), and on recognition of individuals' membership and rank in those organizations. They also assist the Webmaster in maintainin the list of commonly used postnominals.

*==[[Chivalry CommitteePetition for Recognition of an Order]](of Chivalry or Organization of a Chivalric Nature)==

*Augustan Society Members who are members of a [[List of Recognized Orders|recognized Order]] of Chivalry may file a petition for the Society to recognize their rank and Organizations membership, which will permit the Society's use of the appropriate postnominals and other honorifics. There is a Chivalric Naturecharge for such reviews.  *==[[List of Recognized Orders for SDLKJPostnominals Used]]== *This list, maintained by the [[Recognition Webmaster]] in consultation with the Chivalry Committee, [[Communications|Communications Department]], and others, shows postnominals that have been used by the Society at some point. They include many ranks in the Orders listed above, and many other postnominals including honorific, chivalric, academic, religious, professional, fellowship, and military honors. It is not suggested that this is a complete listing of such, only those the Society has found it has need of. Neither does inclusion in this list suggest that these postnominals or the Orders associated with them are ''presently'' recognized by the Society.  ==The [[Noble Company of Chivalrythe Rose]]==*Under a ''Magister Rosae'' elected by its members and a [[Recognition Council of Membership the Noble Company|council]] appointed by him, this subsidiary of Society is an international confraternity of knights and Rank in dames (plus a few esquires) dedicated to cordial relations between the Orders , and to maintenance of a chapel at Society [[Headquarters]] (at those times when a public Headquarters exists). The Noble Company is not an order of chivalry, nor should any claim to such be countenanced.  ==[[Communications]]== The Society (and groups closely affiliated with it) has published extensively on chivalry, including the publications: #[[Chivalry]], thirteen issues, 1974–2001#A Bibliographic Guide: The Order of the Temple, Patricia Hartwell, 1985#A Bibliographic Guide: The Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazurus of Jerusalem and The Order of Sts.
