Chi Alpha Sigma is the first national scholar-athlete society to honor collegiate student-athletes who have excelled in the classroom and in competition.

Founded in 1996 by then DePauw University head football coach Nick Mourouzis, Chi Alpha Sigma provides outstanding student-athletes an opportunity to become connected within a fraternal association that aligns their educational and athletic successes for a lifetime.

Muhlenberg was accepted into Chi Alpha Sigma in 2019 and has inducted more than 150 members in the last five years.

•Has endorsements from his or her head coach; and
