Alpha Iota (often referred to as Triota) is an honor's society for those seeking to pursue a women's studies major/minor or those simply interested in women's studies in general.  Below is the description of the Alpha Iota chapter at Meredith College:

Named for the goddesses Inanna, Ishtar, and Isis, this is an egalitarian national society of scholars dedicated to the ideals of excellence in Women's Studies and scholarship.  This organization promotes an interest in Women's Studies,  research of social problems affecting women, and other social and intellectual activities that lead to improvements in the condition of life for all people.  Membership is open to majors and minors in Women's Studies who have at least 6 hours in approved Women's Studies courses and at least a 3.5 in the major or minor.  Additionally any student at Meredith College who possesses a strong interest in Women's Studies, has taken at least 6 hours in Women's Studies courses, including WST 200, has an overall GPA of 3.0, and who has achieved third semester standing is also eligible for membership in this society.

If you are interested in applying to the society, please e-mail Dr. Alisa Johnson at johnsona@meredith.edu.  Inductions are held each spring semester.

If you are not a Women's Studies major/minor but are interested in joining Alpha Iota, an application for induction can be found here.
