Each chapter only has 55 members, and membership is by invitation only, and is only extended if an opening becomes availabe. So, only if a chapter member dies, relocates, or resigns (which is rare). Women normally join well after college, usually in their 40's or 50's. I think that's what the book said. I hope this helps!

I know some women that were a part of the Links, but they dropped the org because they didn't want to continue paying those high dues. The Links are a bunch of older women, and I don't understand why anyone in their 30's would want to join. Also, I don't hear about them doing that much in the community, but I'm sure that would vary wherever you are located.
