Living in Community Student Services Athletics Many Earlham students have distinguished themselves on playing fields as well as in classrooms. They demonstrate that the fun, discipline and vigorous competition of intercollegiate athletics can work together with the intensity and high sense of purpose of rigorous academics.

All teams may advance through conference, regional and national competition tournaments. Other NCAC member schools are Allegheny College, Denison University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University and The College of Wooster.
