Theta Chi Fraternity at Auburn University

From Brother Jimmy Lehe:

Fall 2023
50th Anniversary Chi Chapter ΘΧ
1973 Initiation Class Reunion

Fifteen brothers convened on Friday, October 27, 2023, at the Auburn home of hosts Pat and Carol O’Connor to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fall 1973 initiation class. Brother Johnny Floyd shared in providing BBQ and refreshments, and Brother John Dodgen joined Pat and Johnny from the 1973 class. Alums from the late 1960’s through mid 1970’s added to the celebration, and many wives attended this memorable get together. Following the Friday reunion, many of the brothers reconvened the next day at the Theta Chi house before attending the Auburn vs. Mississipi State game and together cheered the Tigers’ 27-13 win.

Herbert Claybrook badly wanted to be there for our celebration but due to his terminal medical condition was unable. Brother Herbert, who was initiated in the spring of 1973, passed away the following January 8th to the Chapter Eternal after his courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his loving family at his home in Slidell, Louisiana.

This year, plans are in the works to follow up with a fall 2024 reunion at the O’Connors’ Auburn home during the weekend of the November 2 Auburn home game against SEC rival Vanderbilt. Mark your calendars now to join your Theta Chi brothers. We all look forward to reconnecting with our brotherhood.

Logan Parks (Chi/Auburn 2021) had a goal. As a lifelong fisherman and angler, he went to Auburn University to pursue a spot on the Auburn University Bass Fishing Team. Not only did he make it - he elevated it to heights even beyond his campus.
