I
am proud to share the founding this month of a new chapter of the Iota
Iota Iota (Triota) Honor Society at Virginia Wesleyan College. The Delta
Sigma chapter joins a nationwide coalition of student clubs recognizing
academic excellence in women’s and gender studies.
Iota Iota
Iota aims to promote interest in women's and gender studies, research in
social issues affecting women, and other social and intellectual
activities that lead to improvement in the condition of all people. The
society also encourages volunteerism, advocacy, and activism within the
community as important methods for supporting and maintaining the values
central to the women's studies discipline.
Special thanks to
Virginia Wesleyan senior Kaci Wertz for taking the lead in bringing
Delta Sigma to our campus. Kaci will serve as the chapter’s first
president, and I’ve been told she has hit the ground running, organizing
a full slate of officers within just 24 hours of receiving chapter
recognition.
It is most appropriate to establish an Iota Iota
Iota chapter here at the College during Women’s History Month. Please
join me in welcoming Delta Sigma—may its members be nourished by our
community’s continued dedication to equality and education.
