The Greatest Jim Logan story

[Erik P Conard]

Frater Logan, arguably the most brilliant TKE ever, was an attorney in KC and new to the Grand Council. He was visiting
the new Delta Nu chapter at Northwest Missouri State--destined
to become one of TKE's greatest---when a young man, eager to
make frater Logan feel at ease..proclaimed "Frater Logan, we
have 21 pledges!" Logan, never to be outdone or overtly impressed, retorted "You should have 44."
In two weeks, Logan returned to Maryville, MO to visit the chapter and the same eager young man from Cherokee, IA,
tugged at Logan's sleeve, saying "Frater Logan...Frater Logan,
we have 44 pledges!"
Logan, stoic, said "Fine, we will have an initiation tonite."
He did not elaborate, and the initiation was indeed held.
After the ceremony, the gavel was passed so as to give all
the new fraters a chance to talk, and the chapter president asked this: "Well, frater Logan, what do you think now?"
Jim replied, without expression or emotion "I see you have no
pledges."
Delta Nu led TKE in the nation in size that next year. Logan was
a most unassuming but impressive man...and there are a great
number of stories. He is truly the single most dynamic Greek
to ever don a robe...the stories of him are legion. YITB, Erik
