I think she was probably uncomfortable being so much older than the rest of us but had wanted to join anyway. She ended up transferring to a school in the Midwest the following year; no one that I know of has talked to her since.
If your friend wants to give recruitment a shot, best of luck to her. But I think she should seriously consider if she will fit in with younger girls.

I was 23 when I joined. That's why I'm asking about the speccific campus culture. Some campuses, it's not strange at all, where as on other campuses, older girls will be eatten alive. I'm getting the impression that with as many sororities to choose from as there are, and the "party" atmosphere that was described, that SDSU is more of a traditional school, rather than a commuter campus with alot of non-traditional students. From what I've seen and heard, commuter campuses, or even campuses with housing, but lots of non-traditional students, tend to be more flexible with age and class standing, whereas, at an SEC school, you're pretty much doomed if you arent an 17 or 18 year old freshman taking your very first college class ever....
