SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. -- Cal Poly has been accepted into the National College Athlete Honor Society as the Xi Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (XAΣ), which recognizes student-athletes from accredited four-year NCAA, NAIA, NCCAA, and USCAA institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition.
Chi Alpha Sigma, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, 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.
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, NCCAA, or USCAA. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester or seventh quarter, as determined by the certifying institution, and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale).
Zach Reed, an Athletic Academic Advisor in the Mustang Success Center, will serve as advisor for Cal Poly's chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, in collaboration with Keri Mendoza, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance / Senior Woman Administrator, and Ashleigh Horstmann, Assistant Athletic Director for Administration / Chief of Athletic Staff.
Sydney McCollum, who played softball at Long Beach State, is leading as the student petitioner for Cal Poly (ASI) student organization recognition. Currently serving her graduate assistantship in the Mustang Success Center, McCollum is working toward a master's degree in Higher Education Counseling & Student Affairs.
Cal Poly will hold its first induction ceremony Feb. 1.
