I do not know of any sorority that has an age limit to join. One of my lil' sisters joined Sigma at 22 years old. She was a junior and decided that she was finally comfortable enough with her academics that she didn't need to study as much so she finally had time to join a sorority. She loved it and had two great years. She even held several chairs. She never once had a problem with someone younger then her having more authority then she did. She did often laugh though that her big sis was 2 years younger then her. She always felt comfortable coming to me with problems.

That being said there was a 47 year old non-traditional student who went through recruitment one year at my college. No sororities offered her a bid. I spoke with several women I knew in other sororities the general reason for not offering her a bid were that most sisters felt like she would never be someone who we would feel comfortable with competely being as some of parents were her age. I don't see that being a problem in this case.... 24 is not that big a difference.
