The inductees each received a certificate from Chi Alpha Sigma and their cords to wear at commencement in May.
In order to be inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, a student-athlete must attend a four-year accredited college or university that is a member of the NCAA, NAIA, USCAA or NCCAA. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester or seventh quarter, as determined by the certifying institution. Monmouth requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale).
Chi Alpha Sigma was founded in 1996 by then DePauw University head football coach Nick Mourouzis. His goal was 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.
Monmouth joined Chi Alpha Sigma in the fall of 2024 and the first class, inducted in February 2025, had 25 members. Softball coach Heather Turnquist and volleyball coach
Hope Neargarder are advisors.
