You bore me now.
If you can respond with something other than giggly little accusations, then you are worth my time, otherwise..umm..yeah, you bore me.

CITY? :D

On a serious note, you're the one who posted it. Irishpipe's "last statement" before you posted is post #72 in this thread. Your post about Irishpipes' "last statement" is post #73.

Just sayin'.

And if you're bored, by all means, please go to HRPL.

Actually, I find that most of the "girls" who replied to you are happy, well-adjusted, intelligent women.

What I find sad is a person posting here for the first time, attacking people who were simply responding to someone asking for their thoughts on her situation as posted.

Why are you so angry? It's odd that a person jumps into a message board with such vehemence. Were you somehow slighted in the past? Were you in a similar situation as these women? Are you a sockpuppet to one of the "older women" looking to join a sorority?

I always find it interesting when someone new personally attacks established members of a message board. (It's not saying that a newbie cannot join a conversation or become a valued member of a community, but your behavior raises flags). Without "knowing" or at least being familiar with a person's posts, posting style, personality, it seems very strange to make character or intelligence judgment without seeming like a whiny 10 year old.

I suggest you learn to control your impulses. Read, re-read, and digest what is being said and try to understand the intent of the posters instead of making snap judgments and personal attacks. Being able to control yourself is a sign of maturity and civility. If you lack either, then find another sandbox to play in.

Turkey baster?

I don't know why I am responding seriously to your asinine comments, but I am one of the more open minded people on here as far as older students joining a sorority is concerned. But when I see a 30 year old mom of two say she's going back to college partly to join a sorority, that tells me that her priorities are out of whack. If she would have said "I was thinking about it, is it feasible?" she would have gotten a different response from me. But she DIDN'T say that.

Keep responding like an adult, 33girl.

You continue to prove my point...no sister of mine, would be - or are anything -like you.

So what sorority are you in, toots?

Never mind, I see you got banned for being a general jerk. Bye! You can probably still post under your regular username though!!

Is 25 too old?
 
I went to college for a year and a half at age 17 and then got very unsure of what I wanted to do with my life, so I dropped out. Now I know exactly what I want to do...which just happens to be a doctor, neurologist to be exact. :) Anyways, I just turned 25, but I am very young at heart ;) Would 25 be seen as way too old to rush a sorority??? :confused:

Nicholie 07-30-2009 10:53 PM

I have a good friend who rushed at age 24 and got into a great sorority and absolutely loved it. I know that since I changed my major and have premedical classes to complete before I can graduate I still have about 3 years left of school which I know usually matters more than age. I just wasnt sure if the Panhellenic Council had any regulations on age.

There are no official age restrictions, but depending on your school, being an upperclassman may make it harder for you to get a bid.

Rumor that 40 year old, firs ttime in college, is rushing at my school this year. I'm instersted to see how this works out. I go to a small (3 panhellenic sororities) non competitive school, so this should be interesting.

If it's a non-traditional school, you may or may not get a chance. At 25 and working on pre-med, you really want to hang out with a bunch of 18-20 year olds? Seems like your focus should be on school if you want to become a neurologist.

It's your choice, but be prepared for the worst.

We had a similar situation...a 30-something year old at a small non competitive school with children at home. I think it took her one night to realize that it wasn't going to be what she wanted.

Concentrate on school. Your older then a traditional student first starting out and you have a long road of school ahead of you, I think your focus should be on school.

we should just make a line graph of "how old is too old to rush" to settle this once and for all.

actually it might be more of a matrix - age, class standing, location of school and how overthetop ridiculous the reason is for wanting to rush at said age.
