The University of Mary Washington Department of Athletics welcomes 46 new members into its chapter of the Chi Alpha Sigma honor society. Mary Washington has inducted 259 scholar-athletes since founding its chapter in the 2016-2017 academic year. The average GPA of this induction class is a 3.696.

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. 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, or NCCAA. The honoree also must achieve at least junior academic standing by the fifth semester or seventh quarter, as determined by the certifying institution, or a transfer that has been at the University for one full year, and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of a 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale).
