Senatore Inducted Into National Scholar-Athlete Society
Sep 15 | Women's Cross Country
PISCATAWAY, N.J. -Senior psychology major, Paige Senatore (Delsea, N.J.), was among the 37 Scarlet Knight student-athletes to become the latest inductees into the Delta Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, the first national scholar-athlete society to honor collegiate student-athletes who have excelled in both the classroom and in athletic competition.
The 37 Scarlet Knights were recognized for the achievements with a program at halftime of the Rutgers football versus Washington State game over the weekend at High Point Solutions Stadium.
To earn induction into the honor society, a student-athlete must attend a four-year accredited college or university that is an NCAA or NAIA member, achieve junior status, hold a minimum 3.0 GPA, have an endorsement from their head coach and be of good moral character.
What is the history of Chi Alpha Sigma?
The National College Athlete Honor Society was founded at DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana, on May 17, 1996, by DePauw head football coach and professor of kinesiology, Nick Mourouzis. Mourouzis recognized that there were many organizations that honored top or elite athletes with high academic achievements, but none that honored all participants of athletic teams who were letter winners of their sport and who maintained a high cumulative grade point average. Chi Alpha Sigma hopes 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 scholastics.
