Traditionally the Officers in a GD ceremony were required to be of at least a certain grade, and thus these Officers would be dropped from subsequent initiations (such as the Sentinel, being a Neophyte, being dropped from Zelator onwards) to ensure that such an Officer would not be employed in an initiation above their own grade. The traditional grade requirements for holding office are:
- Sentinel - Neophyte
- Stolistes and Dadouchos - Zelator
- Keryx - Theoricus
- Hegemon - Practicus
- Hiereus - Philosophus
- Hierophant - Adeptus Minor (usually ZAM)
