Rainbow Tribe began in the early 70s under the name of the Gay People's Union, a support group for gay men. At the end of the decade, lesbians joined the group, and in 1987, bisexuals were included to create the Lesbian, Bisexual, Gay People's Union. In 1996 the group decided to change the name to Rainbow Tribe, a name which incorporates the meaning behind the Pride Flag and the close-knit community of a tribal society.

Rainbow Tribe is a positive gay- lesbian- bisexual- transgender- transsexual collegiate community organization with the purpose of providing support, engendering community, and promoting activism at Earlham College as well as locally and nationally. Everyone is invited to participate in Rainbow Tribe activities and functions, but non-business meetings are usually queer-only.
