Because the Order was originally founded as a military order of chivalry, its star (referred to in this use as a "pip") is worn as army officers' rank insignia. Members of the order now belong to either the Civil or the Military Division. The Order's motto is ''Tria juncta in uno'' ([[Latin]] for "Three joined in one"). This is a reference to either the union of [[England]], [[Scotland]] and [[Ireland]], or to the [[Holy Trinity]]. A symbol of the Order that is seen over and over has three crowns in it. Another motto, ''Ich dien'' ([[German language|German]] for "I serve") is used occasionally, but only by members of the military division of the Order.
The Order is the fourth oldest of the [[British honours system#Current orders of chivalry|British Orders of Chivalry]], after [[Order of the Garter|The Most Noble Order of the Garter]], [[Order of the Thistle|The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle]], and [[Order of St Patrick|The Most Illustrious Order of St Patrick]]. The last of those Orders–which relates to [[Ireland]], no longer a part of the United Kingdom–still exists, but is no longer active; no appointments have been made to it since 1934.
