History
I-Men Permanently Organized
Prior to the Indiana vs. Illinois football game last fall, a number of former university athletes met at
the Claypool Hotel in Indianapolis and formed a permanent organization of the I-Men. Every athlete
who had ever received a university monogram was made a member.
The purpose of the organization is to bind more closely together the men who had battled for the cream and crimson and to render service in various ways to present-day athletics in Bloomington. The organization has been, even in this short short time, a wonderful success; the interest shown by the men who wore the cream and crimson for the last time, has been remarkable. The organization has a broad field of usefulness before it, which it is speedily setting about to fulfill. Carl Endicott is president of the I-Men, Dr. C. J. Sembower, vice president, and George M. Cook, secretary.

I-Women Permanently Organized
The I-Women’s Association began in 1982 and was officially recognized on February 15, 1990. The "I" Women’s Association was the first formal recognition of the athletic accomplishments of former female varsity athletes. Membership was open to all female student athletes who hadbeen awarded a varsity letter during their time at Indiana University, even if they had participated prior to the official awarding of "I" awards.
I Association Permanently Organized
In 2006, the president and CEO of the Indiana University Alumni Association, in consultation with the director of Athletics, made a recommendation to merge the I-Men’s and I-Women’s Associations into one entity. It was determined that one association, rather than two, would bring even greater strength in representing student athlete alumni.
At the December 9, 2006, IUAA Board of Managers meeting in Indianapolis, it was voted to act on the recommendation of the Executive Council to allow these two IUAA affiliate groups to merge as of January 1, 2007.
