NORTHFIELD, Minn. – A total of 91 St .Olaf College student-athletes were inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma - the national College Athlete Honor Society - on Monday evening in the St. Olaf Athletic Department's fourth annual induction ceremony.

St. Olaf's 91 inductees represented 22 different teams and brought the college's total to 410 inductees over the four years since St. Olaf's chapter was formed during the 2021-22 academic year. Established in 1996, Chi Alpha Sigma is a non-profit organization that recognizes college student-athletes who excel both on and off the field of competition and is the first and only academic fraternity that specifically honors four-year collegiate student-athletes for their athletic and academic successes.

In order to be recognized, student-athletes must participate in a sport at the varsity intercollegiate level and must maintain a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 through four full-time semesters or six full-time quarters of college coursework.

St. Olaf's induction ceremony included remarks from Athletic Director Kelly Mahlum, President Susan Rundell Singer, Faculty Athletics Representative Charles Gray, and men's soccer student-athlete Shea Bechtel. The keynote speaker was Kara Kawakami, who is the manager of corporate partnership sales with the Minnesota Vikings.

Below is a list of St. Olaf's honorees for each sport.
