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 Some organizations continue to operate after their registration has been revoked despite the action taken by the university.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

Band of Brothers logo

Band of Brothers

Campus: Columbus
Status: Active - New/Re-Established I
Purpose Statement: The Band of Brothers is a student-based extension of the Todd Anthony Bell National Resource Center on the African American Male, otherwise known as the BNRC. The BNRC is the leading resource center for Black Males at accredited four-year institutions such as Ohio State in the nation. As its extension, the Band of Brothers (BOB) seeks to assimilate the values of service, scholarship, and professional development from the BNRC into all their events and endeavors, while maintaining a deep sense of fellowship for all those that partake in the experience. Thus the four core tiers of the organization are scholarship, service, professional development, and brotherhood. The BOB Creed states, "As brothers, we shall dedicate our time and efforts to engendering a positive, progressive, and fortified unit driven by scholarship and excellence. Just as iron sharpens iron, so will we sharpen each other’s lives and minds so that in future endeavors, even in the absence of comrades, the band shall still live in us as we exhibit the four core tiers of scholarship, professionalism, service, and brotherhood."
