Iota Iota Iota

Iota Iota Iota is the academic honor society for the field of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Iota Iota Iota is named for the ancient goddesses, Inanna, Isthar, and Isis. The purpose of the organization is to encourage and support scholarship and excellence in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Grand Valley State University, which is home to the Beta Delta Chapter of Iota Iota Iota (Triota).

Triota strives to maintain feminist values central to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies: egalitarianism, inclusiveness, and the celebration of the diversity of gendered experiences. The organization also works to enhance the experience of students in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies as well as recognizing their academic achievements. 

The goals of GVSU's chapter of Triota are detailed in the Manifesta. The student organization is managed and governed according to its Constitution.
