What if some little birdie here were really mean, found an IP for chick, confirmed she really is a 30 + y/o undergrad using a school e-mail address, and advised the chapter of this 30+ y/o interest? Just what if someone were that aggravated by the attitude and lack of respect and the need to get da hayle on? Hmmm?

That would make that person extremely lame, vindictive for no reason, and in need of a hobby. ;)

I have to agree with you, but you know that's how some people shamelessly operate when it comes to their orgs. Bless their hearts.

Tell him to go drink some orange pop and stop looking over your shoulder. :)

I am going to be the nice one here and respond so Earp won't be angry with me.

PG, yes it would be absurd for you to pledge collegiate. Shoot, at 30+ there is now way you would be able to keep up the strenuous activities involved in pledging like 19 and 20 year olds. Do yourself a favor and wait until grad.

Hope this helps.

Thank you LadyGreek for being able to answer that humble (lol) old aspirant.

OP, are you from Dallas by way of NY??

I know some one with that exact name and age.

MTSUGURL 01-15-2008 12:42 AM

From a 30 year old to another: Are you crazy? I pledged at 26 and was a bit afraid I might die from not only the pace, but the relative insanity of juggling my grown up world with my college world. (Not to imply that collegians are not grown ups, but that there are simply a different set of responsibilities 99% of the time, and to combine those results in chaos more often than not.) If you decide to attempt to pledge, seeing as how actually pledging any org is not simply a matter of YOUR decision alone, I wouldn't expect a bunch of sunshine blown up your rear. Our age brings a lot of "What the heck are you thinking?" kind of looks. You're not going to get all positive remarks from any direction, with the exception of Mr. Earp and other 30 year olds asking the same question.

Wow. Quite possibly my snippiest post to date. Whoo hoo for me.

I have recently returned back to school to complete my undergrad degree. I am interested in participating in a sorority. Please advise how do the sorors treat older (I am 32 years old) undergrad students that are interested. Should I just wait and go for the graduate chapter?

Oh yeah by the way if you do not have anything nice or positive to say how about you keep it to yourself. That is not a sign of sisterhood no matter what sorority one may belong to. :(

PG


Honestly it isnt that weird that you want to join now. Can you keep up with the actives I dont know thats really up to you. But my chapter just [FONT='Times New Roman','serif']initiated two olderish women. One who is 29 is an active member and keeps up with us and the other who is 45 who is still working on her undergrad but it a member of our alum chapter. I mean at first it was a little weird when she came to our Rush events but we really loved her personality and we didnt want to deny her the sisterhood because of her age. Depending on the sororities policy you may be able to join a junior circle which is an alumane chapter for younger women around the ages of 22 to 35ish[/FONT]. So if I were you I would just research you may not have to wait till graduate to join. Hope that helps. Good Luck!!

Please, do us all a favor (and by all I mean the entire western hemisphere) and pay attention to your studies in college. I'm afraid a sorority may detract from the necessary amount of time you will need to fix all of the grammatical mistakes that your English professors will point out to you in your papers.

I love this.....

Oh and as for the poster actually pledging a sorority....does she understand that positive attitude is always a good attribute!?! lol
