But he didn't ask whether it should be a discriminating factor or not. He asked whether it will be.

I'm all aboard the "you'll never know unless you give it a try" train. But a person should get on that train with realistic expectations and take it from there. What matters is how active fraternity members at LSU will view his age. What happens elsewhere, or what should happen, is irrelevant to what he wants and needs to know. At worst, examples from elsewhere of it being no problem at all could generate false hopes.

Encourage someone to try? Sure! Encourage false hopes? No.
