Rock Valley College has 21 Golden Eagles from 8 different sports into the National College Athlete Honor Society. Rock Valley College is the IL Alpha Chapter of Theta Chi Alpha, which recognizes student-athletes from two-year institutions who excel in both the classroom and competition. 

The National College Athlete Honor Society, a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, 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 Theta Chi Alpha, a student-athlete must attend a two-year college that is a member of the NJCAA, CCCAA, FCSAA or, NWAC. The honoree also must complete at least three full-time semesters and must have achieved a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale), while also participating in their varsity sport. 

Kevan Watkins, Rock Valley College Sports Coordinator and Women鈥檚 Soccer Coach, will serve as an advisor for RVC鈥檚 chapter of Theta Chi Alpha. Samantha Ingram was the inaugural chapter president.
