The Sinconian Literary Society originally began as the Orion Constellation in 1856, a combination of separate men's and women's debating societies at Merom Academy, the Washington Star and Aurora Borealis, respectively. It went through multiple name changes, including Philomathean Society and the Union Literary Association. Finally, after a fracture in membership, the Sinconian Society was formed in 1863 at the Union Christian College in Merom, Indiana.
