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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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.

Association for India's Development

Campus: Columbus
Status: Active - New/Re-Established II
Purpose Statement: Association for India's Development (AID) is a 501(C)(3) voluntary non-profit organization committed to promoting sustainable, equitable and just development in India, by working with grassroots organizations and movements in India. AID supports and initiates efforts in various interconnected spheres such as education,livelihood generation, natural resources, health, women's empowerment and social justice. Founded in 1991, AID has completed 966 projects covering 24 Indian states. Since its inception, AID has established 38 chapters in the United States, 12 chapters in India operated by 500 volunteers and supports over 100 ongoing projects. To support the various causes we pledge allegiance to, we organize various fund-raising efforts. Some of these efforts include working at food stalls during OSU football and basketball games and at concerts held on campus. While these efforts continue through the year, we organize a big fund-raiser annually, typically music or dance concerts. We also spread awareness about our organization and about the developmental initiatives and campaigns we support in India on campus and in the community. We also thoroughly review and learn about the developmental projects we support in India by being in contact with a person from the non-profit organization working at grassroots level.
