Absolutely loved that!!!

I agree that you should go for it. Membership is for a lifetime and as an older student you have so much to offer a chapter - you are most likely academically sound (since you have not failed out), at this point you have acquired time management skills and maturity that freshmen rarely have. i joined as a junior, and while i regret not having joined sooner so i could have held certain positions, it was so worth it. who i was a freshman would have done my sorority no good. but as an experienced student leader, i cam eright in and made a difference in the chapter. also, older students know more people on campus, usually, and can be a benefit when it comes to recruiting. also, many older new members tend to be very involved as alumni because they did not burn out over 4 years of membership. they graduate still wanting more and wanting to do more for the organization.

if you approach it from this perspective and you are a decent guy in it for more than partying, i can't think of why a chapter wouldnt want you. but id say ask around the chapters and good luck!!!!
