ELMHURST, Ill. - Elmhurst University recently inducted its first student-athletes into its chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), the National College Athlete Honor Society. 

Elmhurst joined Chi Alpha Sigma this past fall and inducted 85 student-athletes on Monday afternoon. In order to be inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, a student-athlete must attend a four-year accredited college or university that is a member of the NCAA, NAIA, USCAA or NCCAA. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale).

Chi Alpha Sigma was founded in 1996 by then DePauw University head football coach Nick Mourouzis. His goal was to provide outstanding student-athletes with an opportunity to become connected within a fraternal association that aligns their educational and athletic successes for a lifetime.
