Lee University recently inducted 26 student athletes into the Chi Alpha Sigma National Honor Society, which recognizes those athletes who excel both on and off the field of competition.
Student-athletes were inducted in March and must have achieved the rank of junior or senior, attended Lee University for two or more semesters, achieved a 3.4 cumulative GPA or higher and earned a varsity letter. The 2020 members are the third class in the prestigious Lee honor society, joining 26 other student-athletes who were inducted as juniors in 2019 and 58 student-athletes who were inducted in the 2018 class.
"It is incredibly difficult to excel both in the classroom and on the field or court, but these exceptional student-athletes have done so and we are extremely proud of their academic and athletic accomplishments and while here at Lee," said Jessica McIntyre, Lee Assistant Athletic Director of Internal Affairs. "Unfortunately, we will not be able to honor these student-athletes in person this year but we wanted to make sure everyone has the opportunity to celebrate their great achievement. They set a great example and exemplify the true meaning of student-athlete."
Chi Alpha Sigma is a nonprofit organization established to recognize college student-athletes who excel both on and off the field of competition. The honor society 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.
