pledgetrainer2,
Not allowing someone to join your organization because of age is discrimination. You shouldn't look at the age of the possible new members you should look at the qualities that they would bring to your organization.
First of all, I was 20 when I joined my organization and was 24 when I got married and graduated. I stayed active in the sorority from the time that I got married to the time that I graduated which was six months. And let me just tell you I was probably the most active member.
Secondly, you shouldn't assume that people who are 25+ would not enjoy the mixers that are planned because it would involve younger guys. I met my husband at a mixer two years ago and he is two years younger than I am. Is there some sort of rule that I should know about for dating younger guys?
Why would you tell somebody to get involved with another group if they were interested in yours?? (sorry, we like you, but you're too old) Age shouldn't matter. I don't know what school you go to or to which organziation that you belong, but it isn't like that all over.
I surprised someone hasn't busted your organziation for discrimination. No wonder most people don't want to join a greek organization...
James, I'm with you on this one.
