I'm pretty sure you can join if you pay them. You don't even have to attend or have ever attended.

Alumnus, class of 1998 ... I admit, I can be too avid a fan (had football season tickets for 5 seasons, basketball season tickets for one season, and have been to several road games, a few NCAA tourney games, and was there when OSU beat Miami for the National Championship) ...

You're right that anyone can join, but in order to be an active member with full membership benefits and privileges you need to have completed at least 15 hours at the school.

I just remembered thinking it was odd that you didn't even need to go to be an alumni member, but they won't turn down money from anyone I guess. :)

You're in brotha, welcome to the family.
and was there when OSU beat Miami for the National Championship
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous. That still is the greatest game I've ever seen(with Fiesta with Boise/Okla #2)

I am a golf course superintendent at a course in the Columbus area.

Since I am married to this guy I am legally required to be an OSU fan.
