1967 Amphics

Inducted: February 11, 2017

The Amphics are a historical centerpiece to Marion College and Indiana Wesleyan University Athletics. The Amphics was an intramural club that dates back to the 1920’s where they competed against the rival Eurekans until the beginning of intercollegiate athletics in 1968. Marion College decided the creation of two literary societies -- the Amphics and Eurekans -- was the best way to carefully guard physical training through friendly competition.

“The intramural program prior to 1968 was a great way to build student comradery and spirit. This tradition has been a fun way to engage every student, and developing class spirit is important because it creates healthy competition with groups and helps form unique bonds and memories.” -- Rick Carder, Indiana Wesleyan Director of Alumni and Church Relations
