A girl in my pledge class is 25. She is really sweet and nice, but I'm sure it is difficult for her to relate to the rest of us since we (the pledge class) are mostly 17-19 years old. She is married, but she does not have any children. I know for a fact that two girls who were going through rush this fall got dropped by everyone because they had babies. Everyone figured that they wouldn't have enough extra money or time to commit to the sororities when they have such big reponsibilities as children.
I don't know exactly what your situation is, but I would advise against lying about your age or status. Of course, if they don't ask you about it, don't offer, but certainly don't lie if they do ask. No one wants a dishonest sister. Explain to them, for example, that when you were younger you didn't rush simply because it was too time-consuming, too much money, or whatever the case was. Tell them that now you feel you have the time, and that you are financially stable. They definitely will want to know that you have the commitment and responsibilities to make a great sister. This will let them know that you are serious about joining.
