When I was Membership Adviser (rush), we had a 30 year old come thru recruitment. I never said a word about her age nor did any adviser. The chapter president asked "why a 30 year old would want to hang out with 18 and 19 year old hormone driven twits?" Frankly, I thought that was very astute of her. She couldn't see the chapter assimilating this woman due to what she rightly perceived as a maturity issue, not an age issue. We had advisers younger than this woman. What sort of relationship would you as a 40 year old expect to have with 18 and 19 year olds? I think the disparity in maturity and life experience would be too great to operate properly in a college sorority environment. How on earth would you relate at a fraternity mixer? Very difficult.
