The collegiate nature of Durham University means that there are different levels at which societies are based. They might be large, university-wide societies – often affiliated with the Students’ Union – or smaller college groups. Members of St Chad’s MCR participate actively in both kinds, but we also have some societies that are specifically run by and for St Chad’s MCR.
