Queer Organizations

CVM Spectrum an organization that serves members of the vet med community who identify as part of the Gender, Romantic, and Sexual Minoritized (GRSM**) community and its allies. We welcome all veterinary students, faculty, staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, and technicians related to the CVM community. **We choose to use the acronym GRSM, because we find that to be more inclusive of the entire spectrum of identities than the acronym LGBT.

This organization is on hiatus for the 2023-2024 academic year. Please check back for updates!

Gamma Rho Lambda Omicron Chapter is a social sorority for the LGBTQIA+ and Ally community. GRL at ISU exemplifies the qualities of acceptance, diversity, unity and trust, which provides a network of assistance in the areas of scholastic guidance, emotional support, and community service while ultimately developing the life-long bonds of siblinghood. We are all committed to creating a diverse, safe, educational and scholastic environment. We are inclusive and welcome all races, sexualities, nationalities, systems of belief, and world-views. We ultimately support the LGBTQIA+ community, while affecting social change in the Ames, Iowa community. Recruitment events happen at the start of Fall and Spring semester.

The Pride Alliance's mission is to provide a safe space where students and guests can discuss and learn about the LGBTQIA+ community, their own gender and sexuality, and have support in their acceptance of themselves and others, as we strive to eliminate homophobia, transphobia, heterosexism and cissexism in all aspects of life--on and off campus.
