Chi Alpha Sigma Welcomes 20 from Goucher

Thirteen from Inaugural Class Maintain Membership

May 8, 2009

TOWSON, Md. – Twenty student-athletes were inducted into Goucher's chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, the first national society to honor collegiate student-athletes who have excelled in both the classroom and in athletic competition, during a ceremony conducted this evening in the Sports & Recreation Center.

In addition to the new inductees, another 13 individuals who were part of the school's inaugural Chi Alpha Sigma class in 2008 maintained their membership in Goucher's chapter, which is one of only six in the state of Maryland.

Founded in 1996, Chi Alpa Sigma recognizes college students who receive a varsity letter in their sport while maintaining a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA throughout the junior and senior years. Selection for membership is also based on excellent character and citizenship.
