Chi Alpha Sigma honors those student-athletes who have earned a varsity letter while maintaining a 3.4 or better GPA throughout their junior and senior years. Not only does Chi Alpha Sigma recognize and honor academic achievement among student-athletes, it also serves to foster citizenship, moral character, and friendship among academic achievers in college athletics. In addition, these student-athletes will provide leadership to other student-athletes.
