The Red Hat Honeys are part of the Red Hat Society (RHS), which has become the international society dedicated to reshaping the way women are viewed in today’s culture. RHS supports and encourages women to pursue fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment of lifelong dreams, and fitness. It serves as the center point for all communications and opportunities for its members offering tools, tips, discounts, services, and events specifically with Red Hatters in mind.

The Red Hat Society has spent over a decade developing a strong online communication tool for Members assisting them in gaining new and exciting ways to enjoy life, sharing their unique and motivating stories, and helping Members find local hatters and activities they can participate in.

Women over age 50 are known as "Red Hatters," while those under 50 are lovingly referred to as "Pink Hatters." The Red Hat Society is made of thousands of local chapters; each Chapter is headed by a Queen and often assisted by a Vice-Queen.
