29 Student-Athletes Inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, 50 Recognized

TOWSON, Md. - A total of 29 Goucher College student-athletes were recently inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society, while a total of 50 current Gopher student-athletes were recognized as members.

Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ) recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.

Chi Alpha Sigma, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was founded in 1996 by then-DePauw University head football coach Nick Mourouzis.
