Update

Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities will be administered in compliance with the law as of June 27, 2025.

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 2025. Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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.

Scarlet Policy Circle

Campus: Columbus
Status: Active II
Purpose Statement: The Scarlet Policy Circle is an academic campus organization inspired by the work of the Washington, D.C.–based think tank, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), which aims to “defend the principles and improve the institutions of American freedom and democratic capitalism." We host traveling scholars from AEI to present their research and lead small-group discussions on topics such as defense and foreign policy, economic policy, political accountability, and other current events. Our regular meetings feature presentations on current events, open discussions, and interactive activities designed to encourage civil discourse and the challenging of ideas. In addition to these meetings, we host a semester-long reading group—sometimes in partnership with other organizations—providing members with free copies of books to read and discuss together. Past selections include Chip War by Chris Miller, Getting China Wrong by Aaron Friedberg, and The Logic of American Nuclear Strategy by Matthew Kroenig.
