What is the difference between "Club" & "Society"?

I run an organization, which name is Barisal University IT Club. Some of my friends said that, I should change my organization name as Society instead of Club.

I actually want to know, what's the differences between club & society? Where should I use society as an organization name?

Either is fine. Club implies something smaller and more intimate (i.e. a book club, s sports club) while a society sounds larger (like something citywide).

An association dedicated to a particular interest or activity.

‘I belong to a photographic club’

as modifier ‘the club secretary’


To my knowledge, club is more like an organization with entertainment and amusement.

When I was at university in England, I was for a time Societies Officer on the student union executive.  Most sports and hobby groups were called "clubs" e.g. Hockey Club, Chess Club; and most other interest groups were called "societies" e.g. Debating Society, International Society.  However, there was no rule.

The club should have a goal or an interest that unites the members of the club. The society is just a group of people without any restrictions about size, goal ... anything (world society, tribe society, family society, prison society). Every club is a society, but not every society is a club.
