I was talking to a chapter advisor whose chapter is just finishing up recruitment and this topic came up. They had a woman come through recruitment who was 27. On her campus, this wasn't a huge event, but it wasn't out of the ordinary either. The woman did end up receiving a bid, but it raised questions about how the PNM's would feel about having someone is a bit older and MUCH more mature than the average 18 year old freshmen pledging with them. We agreed that there are definite benefits to having someone who has experience and maturity coming through, but also wondering how she is going to "mesh" with 20 other 18 - 20 year old women with completely different priorities who she'll be going through her new member process with.
Anyway, the point of the little story is that it is possible for an older woman to receive a bid, however this woman did receive heavy cuts in the early rounds. Best of luck! Let us know where you end!
