Difference between Civil awards and decorations and Fraternal order

Civil awards and decorations vs. Fraternal order

Civil awards and decorations are awarded to civilians for distinguished service or for eminence in a field of endeavour. A fraternal order is a voluntary membership group organised as an order, with an initiation ritual and traits alluding to religious, chivalric or pseudo-chivalric orders, guilds, or secret societies.

Order (distinction)

An order is a visible honour awarded by a sovereign state, monarch, dynastic house or organisation to a person, typically in recognition of individual merit, that often comes with distinctive insignia such as collars, medals, badges, and sashes worn by recipients.
