Sonoma State Establishes Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma

November 25, 2024 – Sonoma State University has been accepted into the National College Athlete Honor Society as the California Phi Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, USCAA or NCCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.
 
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.
 
In order to be inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, a student-athlete must attend a four-year accredited college or university who are members of an association or organization that promotes academic achievement and varsity level athletics competition while holding commitment to the principles of integrity, sportsmanship, and overall development of their student-athletes. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester or seventh quarter, as determined by the certifying institution, and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale).
 
Jared Chasey, Deputy Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, and Dr. Martha Shott, Faculty Athletics Representative, will serve as advisors for Sonoma State's chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma. Sonoma State will hold its first induction ceremony during the Spring 2025 semester.
