Bucket and Dipper Honorary Applications Available
Bucket & Dipper (B&D), the second oldest honorary on campus (and in our opinion, the coolest and most fun as well), recognizes outstanding members of the junior class based on the three pillars of the honorary system: scholarship, leadership, and service. Originally an all male honorary, B&D is currently a group of thirty outstanding male and female undergraduates. The organization has a long history of giving back to Ohio State and developing some of the best student leaders on campus.
Bucket & Dipper is active in many areas throughout the university. B&D is a member of the Association of Ohio State Class Honoraries (AOSCH), the self-governing body of the class honorary community at Ohio State. The most notable event, however, is the Illibuck pass, a football tradition dating back to 1925. In addition, B&D members regularly perform community service around the Columbus area.
Download the application for the 109th class of Bucket and Dipper here. Applications are due as an attachment sent to Summer McCracken.100@osu.edu by January 22nd at 11:59 p.m.
