Men's Rugby Alumni Society — The Ohio State University
Our mission is to unite alumni, the community, and our current team through meaningful events and initiatives that honor the true essence of rugby — a sport built on respect, camaraderie, and tradition.
From the annual Hall of Fame Weekend to social gatherings, we bring Buckeye Rugby generations together. The Gavin Gill Rugby Festival features competitive alumni matches every spring.
The Gavin Gill Memorial Scholarship Fund honors our teammate and supports students with Type 1 diabetes. Alumni donations also fund equipment, travel, and league fees for the active team.
Alumni placement, professional development, and mentorship connect former players with career opportunities. Rugby alumni help each other succeed beyond the pitch.
The Men's Rugby Alumni Society is chartered under the Ohio State University Alumni Association. All former OSURFC players are welcome to join.
Membership connects you with fellow alumni, gives you access to events like Hall of Fame Weekend, and supports the current program through your involvement.
To join or learn more about membership, reach out to us:
Our flagship annual event brings alumni from every era back to Columbus for a weekend of rugby, recognition, and reunion.
