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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

The Buckeye Philharmonic Orchestra logo

The Buckeye Philharmonic Orchestra

Campus: Columbus
Status: Pending
Purpose Statement: The Buckeye Philharmonic is created to serve the community of The Ohio State University by providing an outlet for orchestral musicians who wish to continue playing in college, and for those who wish to broaden their orchestral repertoire, should they also participate in another similar ensemble. In being a student-run organization, we strive to promote the communal efforts that an ensemble of this size demands by giving every participant a voice. We hope to create lasting bonds of friendship and musicianship within our organization, as well as fulfilling the creative desires of the ensemble. We fulfill the desire for creativity by performing intermediate to high level standard orchestral literature in concert at least two times per academic school year. We believe that participating in a group with cultural and artistic focus is beneficial for the well-rounded individual.
