As an American, not having an Order of Chivalry is one of the very, very few areas in which I envy our "friends across the pond". My only hope for a neck order like that is the Presidential Medal of Freedom... someday...

Actually many chivalric orders are now supranational. Some, like the Order of Malta or the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, require their members to be Roman Catholics. Others, such as the Order of Saint Lazarus or the Order of the Holy Trinity, are ecumenical. Some, such as the Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus or the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem (which Colonel MacNeal belongs to) are ancient orders which are still awarded by the representatives of the Royal Houses who established the order.
I'm sure that if you PM'd Colonel MacNeal (The Order of Saint John) or Rollo (The Order of St. Lazarus) they would be happy to discuss their respective orders with you.

That is something to consider. I am a Catholic and am a member of the Knights of Columbus, but haven't yet been noticed by the Order of the Holy Sepulchre or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (yet!). The danger comes in joining an "actual" order, rather than a fly-by-night "self styled" order that has its Grand Priory in somebody's mother's basement!
