MORRISVILLE, N.Y. – The SUNY Morrisville athletics department recently inducted its second and third classes into the Alpha Lambda Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society, adding 46 additional members into the 2021 and 2022 classes.
 
"I'm extremely pleased with the academic commitment of this group of student-athletes," said SUNY Morrisville Director of Athletics, Matt Grawrock.
 
"The dedication they show is readily visible for all to see. The induction to Chi Alpha Sigma is simply a tangible confirmation of what we've seen already. They work so hard, and they represent us well."
 
Chi Alpha Sigma is the first and only nonprofit organization created to recognize college student-athletes who excel both on and off the field of competition. The honor society recognizes student-athletes who receive a varsity letter in their sport, achieve junior academic standing or higher after their fifth full-time semester, and earn a 3.4 or higher cumulative grade point average.
 
The Alpha Lambda Chapter was established at SUNY Morrisville in 2019. Selection for membership is by an athletic department designee and is based on outstanding scholarship, earned athletic letter winner, and excellent character and citizenship.
 
"Our student athletes work hard on and off the field, evidenced by the number we have recognized in this year's induction class," said SUNY Morrisville Faculty Athletic Representative and Chapter Advisor Al Muss. 
 
"It was great to finally be able to recognize their accomplishments in-person after holding our first induction virtually during the spring of 2020."
 
"I'm excited for this induction ceremony to start up again. We hope to make these incredibly meaningful for future inductees," Grawrock said.
