Originally founded as an all-male honorary, Bucket and Dipper has now grown to 30 members, both male and female. Members are chosen in the spring semester of their sophomore year based on their displays of leadership, scholarship, and service. Bucket and Dipper works to foster friendship and love for Ohio State amongst members, while also serving the greater Columbus area.
