Logan Parks (Chi/Auburn 2021) had a goal. As a lifelong fisherman and angler, he journeyed to Auburn University to pursue a spot on the Auburn University Bass Fishing Team. During his time at Auburn, he served as the President of the Auburn Bass Fishing Team and helped guide them to several tournament victories.
“The team has been around since 2007, that was really my whole motivation for going to Auburn. We had 2 or 3 people from Auburn who fished professionally,” Parks said. He continued, “When I became president of the Fishing Team during COVID, we had some pretty good success at Auburn. We won Team of the Year in 2021 as well as the Bass Pro Shops U.S Open in 2021.”
Parks joined Theta Chi during fall 2017. Initially, Parks was interested in joining Kappa Alpha Order since many of his cousins were members, but didn’t feel as strong of a connection as his cousins did.
When asked what attracted him to Theta Chi, Parks said, “I grew up in Auburn, so I started visiting different events over the summer during rush. Although my cousins are KA’s, I just didn’t connect with their fraternity as well as I thought I would. My buddy from back home signed a bid with Theta Chi over the summer and told me to go check the guys out. Everything was genuine, felt natural, and I just felt at home. I signed my bid the minute they extended it to me, and it was really unexpected.”
