Welcome to our O4B Family!
O4B is the home for LGBTQ+ students at Wharton. Our primary goal is to create a safe space and vibrant community for all LGBTQ+ students and to help our members develop professionally, socially, and academically. Students of all gender identities and sexual orientations are invited to join.
Community Groups
GLAMilies 🧑🧑🧒🧒🌟
Our GLAMilies are small, close-knit groups within O4B created to foster genuine friendships, ongoing support, and lasting connections, led by GLAMily parents: second year O4B members.
GLAMilies are open to all O4B members including allies, though there are certain GLAMilies that have requested to not have allies for privacy reasons. GLAMilies are formed in the fall, but can be joined year-round. Please contact Daniele Anderson for more information.
