But joining one in one's third or even fourth year isn't unheard of, I know a few people who've done just that.

IMHO....I think Fraternities look at things a little differently than Sororities.

When I rushed (that shows my age there), I believe every house admitted Sophomores, but it was limited in some houses. Some sororities admitted Juniors, but not that many Juniors went through recruitment. I am not aware than anyone banned Seniors, but I can't remember any rushing or receiving a bid.

Frats.....I knew Seniors that pledged.

Bottom line....It's all up to the chapter.
