The Wheatstone Bridge

The shield is crested with a Wheatstone bridge, with the association's colors of scarlet and navy blue entwined beneath. Our emblem, the Wheatstone bridge, is an accurate precision electrical instrument, but the significant analogy which we draw from it for Eta Kappa Nu is the fact that it is in balance when it is correctly adjusted. This is what we strive for as members of Eta Kappa Nu: to lead a balanced life, a life in which scholarship, character, and personality are jointly developed. Remember, then, when you look at the Eta Kappa Nu emblem, the Wheatsone bridge is symbolic of a balanced human being.
