National Honor Society for the Radiologic and Imaging Sciences By-Laws Of The Michigan Omega Chapter of Lambda Nu
Article 1
The name of this organization is the Michigan Omega Chapter of Lambda Nu, the national honor society for the radiologic and imaging sciences.
This chapter is established at Marquette General Health System, School of Radiography, Marquette, Michigan.
Lambda Nu’s name is derived from the lower case Greek characters in the formula, which represents the physics of the inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency, an essential parameter across the diversity of modalities comprising the professions.
In a similar manner, Lambda Nu uses the upper case Greek characters to represent the inverse relationship and delicate balance required between the art and science inherent in the radiologic and imaging sciences professions of radiography, radiation therapy, nuclear medicine, diagnostic medical sonography, cardiovascular-interventional technology, mammography, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and bone densitometry. Lambda Nu’s colors are maroon for the radiologic sciences, forest green for the health professions, and gold for the ancient color of honor.
