How do I get involved as an ally?
Wharton strongly believes that LGBTQ+ visibility is an important part of creating a diverse community of MBAs. To that end, O4B works hard to build and support its network of straight allies. Whether you're joining us at White Party or attending our ally-focused events, you'll quickly find yourself welcomed into a community that's as supportive as it is fun.

GLAMilies are small, inclusive social groups within O4B designed to foster genuine connections. As an ally, you're warmly invited to join one and build meaningful friendships within the community. Look out for an email in the fall with how to sign up!

O4B organizes various subsidized small group events throughout the year, perfect for allies to engage deeply, support friends, and meet new people in an intimate setting.

Allies play a key role in our celebrations! Join iconic O4B events like White Party and Rainbow Pub at special discounted rates, and enjoy unforgettable nights with our community.

Connect with peers to gain a deeper understanding of queer identities in a supportive environment, and discover meaningful ways to advocate for our community at Wharton and beyond.
“Being an ally is a verb, not an adjective. Being part of O4B has given me the opportunity to learn, to make amazing friends, to engage in exciting events, and to help support important causes. One of the best aspects of Wharton is how inclusive the students are, and that’s exemplified within O4B.”
