38 DePauw Student-Athletes Inducted Into Chi Alpha Sigma
April 10, 2013
Greencastle, Ind. – In conjunction with the NCAA’s Division III Week, Theodore Katula Director of Athletics Stevie Baker-Watson welcomed the newest members to Chi Alpha Sigma at an induction ceremony at the DePauw Memorial Student Union Building on April 8. In all, 38 DePauw student-athletes were inducted into this prestigious honor society. (pictured are all current DePauw student-athlete inductees who were present at this year's ceremony)
Former DePauw head football coach Nick Mourouzis founded the National College Athlete Honor Society, or Chi Alpha Sigma, in Greencastle, Ind., on May 17, 1996. Mourouzis created the organization to bring recognition to deserving student-athletes, their families, teams, athletic departments and colleges.
Chi Alpha Sigma induction requires that a student-athlete reach junior academic status, achieve a minimum 3.4 cumulative grade point average at the time of selection and earn a varsity letter in his/her respective sport.
Nearly 250 colleges and universities make up Chi Alpha Sigma, representing over 40 states. DePauw, as the founding University, is designated as the Alpha Chapter.
In all, 18 different athletic squads were represented in Monday night’s festivities. The women’s track and field and men’s lacrosse team led the way with four inductees apiece, while the women’s basketball, women’s cross country, football and women’s tennis programs each welcomed a triumvirate of their student-athletes to the fraternity.
The baseball, men’s soccer, softball, men’s swimming and diving, men’s tennis and men’s track and field teams each inducted a pair while men’s basketball, field hockey, men’s and women’s golf, women’s soccer and women’s swimming and diving rounded out the inductee list adding a single member of their team this year.
