student organization

School-based collective

A student organization is a group formed by students at a school, college, or university around a shared interest, purpose, or identity.

These groups range from academic clubs and honor societies to social fraternities, political advocacy groups, and recreational teams.

Most operate with official recognition from their institution, which typically provides access to funding, meeting spaces, and administrative support.
