The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) Ohio State is a membership-based student organization comprised of students in the Knowlton School. We are dedicated to helping students today, for tomorrow. We provide programming, social activities, information, and resources related to architectural education, training, and practice. We also aim to foster an appreciation of architecture and related disciplines, to enrich communities in a spirit of collaboration and to organize students and combine their efforts to advance the art and science of architecture.

Alpha Rho Chi is a national fraternity for architecture and the allied arts. Our organization unites men and women for the purpose of fellowship and lifelong friendships and our mutual interest in professional development. While the fraternity is architecture-based, we have several other majors that come together and create our colony, such as interior design, construction management, landscape architecture, city and regional planning, and more. The Demetrios colony exists to give a holistic approach to a student organization; which means that while we hold professional events and meetings, we also have philanthropy events and social events. This colony has been dormant for over 20 years and is close to being reinstated as an official chapter of Alpha Rho Chi. The Demetrios colony also has countless alumni that are ready to help us, and you, succeed in any way shape or form.

One:Twelve is a student-run, bi-annual journal that operates out of the Knowlton School. Above all, its editors are committed to maintaining the journal’s role as a platform for independent student thinking—a venue for developing topics touched upon in the regular curriculum as well as pursuing those diversions that might not have a place in the classroom. As One:Twelve moves forward, it seeks to expand its audience. The journal’s pages are rooted in what happens at the Knowlton School, but their influence should certainly extend beyond it.
