Elihu (secret society) → Elihu Club – The correct name of the group is Elihu Club. Using its full name will help avoid confusion with other entries called Elihu in Wikipedia. In addition, it is a senior society, not a a secret society. It was specifically was formed to counter the secret societies at Yale. New sources that I have added confirm both this and its correct name. Rublamb (talk) 23:28, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom, though I am a bit skeptical that it couldn't be called a "secret society" (despite its apparent preference for "privacy" rather than "secrecy"). E.g., I would think it should still be included in Category:Secret societies at Yale and Collegiate secret societies in North America, since it is the same sort of thing. {{replyto|SilverLocust}} (talk) 05:31, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
