Inaugural UW Class Joins National Collegiate Honor Society

SEATTLE – The National Collegiate Honor Society is welcoming 98 high-achieving Husky student-athletes this year, part of the new partnership between the Big Ten Conference and Chi Alpha Sigma.

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. The name "Chi Alpha Sigma" was chosen to identify the organization as a national "College Athlete Society."

This is the first season that Washington is a member of Chi Alpha Sigma, as the Big Ten Conference enrolled all member schools in 2025, becoming the first Division I conference with full enrollment.

Induction into the National Collegiate Honor Society requires a cumulative grade point average of a 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, and junior academic class or higher.

Any four-year institution with membership in an association or organization that promotes academic achievement and varsity-level athletics competition while committing to the principles of integrity, sportsmanship, and overall development of their student-athletes may apply for membership in Chi Alpha Sigma. There are currently more than 460 active chapters across all divisions of college athletics in the United States.
