Members of Chi Alpha Epsilon are Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) students who have held a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher for at least two consecutive semesters. Each inductee pledges "to continue to excel academically, promote academic excellence in others and to assist those who genuinely aspire to the same goals." Under the guidance of founder Dr. Elbert Sadler, the Alpha chapter of XAE was chartered in 1990 at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. Today, there are more than 150 chapters world-wide.
