From the wiki on the knights of columbus:

“Upon reaching the Third Degree, a gentleman is a full member. Priests do not participate directly in Degree exemplifications as laymen do, but rather take the degree by observation.”

Why is it that priests take degrees by observation?

It’s likely out of respect for them as clergy.
 
I’ve been in degrees. The laity that are already members go through it in their place. The priests just sit and watch.
 
How does one become a member of the KoC?

What is their purpose/what do they do?

I have seen them, but know little about them.

Yes, the Knights of Columbus is a really great organization. They do great charitable work and expect no publicity for it. Some councils are much more active than others, of course.
