A formal invitation will follow later this semester.

Hope to see you there! 🙂
Join OSI in some of the season’s spookiest celebrations with Omens of the Oval, an event that will showcase the ghost stories and myths that surround Ohio State’s campus. Join us for tours with Stater guides sharing the haunts of OSU, trick-or-treating, and an insider’s peak into the Orton Bell Tower, a historic landmarker that Ohio Staters, Inc. has exclusive access to.
It’s football season, everybody!! That beautiful time of year for field goals, tailgating, and, most importantly, fundraising for the oldest service organization on campus! If you’re planning on being at the Shoe on any Saturday this 2019 season, swing by one of Ohio Staters, Inc. three booths–located north, east, and south of the stadium–to say hi and to check out this year’s array of fundraising wares. We’ve got every gameday covered with our seat cushions, ponchos, and handwarmers, and every dollar goes into the scholarships and projects we fund each year. We hope to see you there!
Go Bucks!
