Claflin University Athletics to Induct the 2021 Class of Chi Alpha Sigma NCAHS

Orangeburg, S.C. – For the second year in a row, the Claflin University Department of Athletics will induct its new members into the Timothy J. Autry Theta Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma (ΧΑΣ) National College Athlete Honor Society virtually.
 
The virtual ceremony, which is open for public viewing, will be held next Wednesday, April 21 at 1 p.m.
 
Individuals interested in viewing the induction ceremony should register ahead of time at https://claflin-edu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_f3HPsXRbRx20jB2QFfhNPA.
 
"To have the second-largest class inducted at Claflin speaks volumes about the hard work and dedication to academics of our student-athletes," said Director of Athletics Tony O'Neal.
 
ΧΑΣ was founded at DePauw University in Green Castle, Indiana, on May 17, 1996, as a student-athlete honor society for the recognition of high academic achievers and sport letter winners at the collegiate level.
 
XΑΣ recognizes students who are of good moral character and receive a varsity letter in their sport while maintaining a 3.4 or higher cumulative GPA by their junior or senior year and have been in residence at the institution for one year. The mission of the NCAHS is to bring honor and recognition to deserving student-athletes, their families, teams, athletic departments, and colleges in much the same way as Phi Beta Kappa honors academic achievement. The governing board of the XΑΣ represents all levels of competition in the NCAA.
 
The purpose of the organization is to encourage and reward high academic scholarship, recognize outstanding academic achievement, encourage good citizenship, moral character, friendship, and to mentor and provide leadership to other student-athletes.
 
The official motto of the society is "Excellence in Athletics and Academics" and there are more than 284 chapters in 41 states and the District of Columbia.
