Find a Student Organization

There are over 1,400 student organizations at Ohio State and over half of all students join a student organization. Students who choose to get involved achieve many positive outcomes - leadership skills, better grades, friendships and mentors, and make a big campus seem small. Use the tools below to search for, find, and get involved with student organizations.

You can also connect with many of our student organizations at our Student Involvement Fairs in August and January. Check out the Student Involvement Fairs webpage for the latest information.

For individualized assistance find the student organization that's right for you, schedule a Get Involved Consultation. These 30-minute meetings will provide a personalized list of recommendations based on your interests and aspirations.

Please consult this list of student organizations with revoked registration as of Spring 2024. Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university. We encourage you to review an organization’s status before becoming involved with it, especially because sometimes an organization’s status is revoked due to serious concerns like hazing and other behavior that risks your health and safety.

Purpose Statement: The Residence Halls Advisory Council (RHAC) serves as the governing organization for all on-campus Ohio State students and community councils.

The RHAC General Body is composed of non-Senators and Committee Members. The RHAC Executive Board, Senate, and General Body work with Housing and Residence and other departments under the Residential Experience portfolio, as well as various other campus partners to create the premiere Residence Hall experience. The RHAC Senate and General Body have the opportunity to join committees where they can approve funding, create and promote diversity, equity, & inclusion initiatives, create programs, and develop marketing.
