It definitely can be a challenge, but if you really want to join a Fraternity (not a frat) built on lifelong brotherhood, service, scholarship etc, age really shouldn't be an issue. Just be sure to prepare yourself if you're extended a bid that while you can provide knowledge based on years of experience, the chapter members can offer you a light perspective. Additionally, be sure to let the younger members to grow and make mistakes - its part of the growth process.

Hopes this helps!

do what you feel is comfortable to you. being part of a brotherhood can be a great asset. good luck.
