Student Alumni Association
Students today, alumni tomorrow.
Your student experience is just the beginning of a life-long connection with Oglethorpe.
The O Book
The O Book details many events, traditions, celebrations, and oddities that make OU such a unique and special place. Current students are an integral part of carrying Oglethorpe into the future.
All students are encouraged to complete the traditions in the O Book at any time during their journey at Oglethorpe and commemorate each with a photo or keepsake of the activity. Once you have participated in 10 of the traditions in the O Book, you’ll be given a special O Pin and the important designation of an Oglethorpe Tradition Guardian at a special event each spring.
Simply complete this form when you’ve participated in any 10 traditions in the O Book.
You can learn more about these traditions in this video from the Alumni Association. Download your own copy of the O Book to begin tracking your progress.
View a list of the O Book activities currently on the campus calendar.
Students in the Class of 2025: If you have questions related to the way COVID may have impacted your completion of these events, please contact [email protected].
