On the other hand, in my APO experience, my home chapter had an undergrad pledge who was of a nontraditional age. Since the only path to membership in APO is through a collegiate chapter, there was no reason that he shouldn't do it.

He dropped though. Which is why I'm thankful for an actual pledge process as a mutual selection time so both the pledge and the chapter can determine if it's the right move.
While the written process is the same, it is hard to implement them indentically with the various nuances involved between college life and mid-life.

Maybe I am just jealous, because if I went back to undergrad now, I would have all I could do to just make it through the classes. The older body needs more rest.
