Chi Alpha Sigma
Benedictine College is a member of the National College Athlete Honor Society as the Kansas Epsilon Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, USCAA or NCCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.
Chi Alpha Sigma was founded in 1996 by 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.
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, as determined by the certifying institution, and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
Benedictine held its inaugural induction ceremony on April 10, 2024, and holds a special ceremony each Spring in honor of the new members. Dr. Annie Hart serves as advisor for Benedictine’s chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma. The Class of 2026 included 41 student-athletes from across 16 of Benedictine's 17 varsity sports programs.Â
