The Lincoln University Department of Athletics has announced the induction of 17 student-athletes as its charter members into the Pennsylvania Alpha Xi chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), the National College Athlete Honor Society, which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, or NCCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.
"The Department of Athletics and Recreation Services is extremely proud of these 17 student-athletes for their success in the classroom and on the playing field," stated Assistant Athletic Director Jacob Mullins, the chapter's advisor. "The hard work and dedication by these campus leaders is admirable and shows the impact that our student-athletes are making on campus and in the community."
Chi Alpha Sigma is the first national scholar-athlete society to honor those collegiate student-athletes who have excelled in both the classroom and in athletic competition. Chi Alpha Sigma recognizes varsity athletes who have maintained a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA throughout their junior and/or senior years. Membership in local chapters is an honor bestowed upon selected student-athletes. Selection for membership is by an athletic department designee in consultation with the individual's head coach and is based on outstanding scholarship, earned athletic letter winner, and excellent character and citizenship. Founded in 1996 by then DePauw University head football coach, Nick Mourouzis, Chi Alpha Sigma continues 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.
The Lincoln women's track and field team led the way with five honorees. The baseball team had three athletes inducted while women's basketball, cheerleading and softball had two apiece. Three of the inductees participated in two sports
