I guess my question is simple: As a 30 something would I be viewed as some kind of freak if I attempted to rush? I've read anecdotes here and there that for fraternities it is not totally unheard of (unlike sororities), but hope that some of you might be able to tell me your thoughts on the subject directly.

I pledged as a 30-something grad student. I was not the oldest active in the chapter. Another guy was older, and he had a kid.
However, I joined Alpha Phi Omega, co-ed National Service Fraternity, not a social, so that is a little different. Most APO chapters are open to having non-traditional student pledge and activate.
