If she meant AKA, as someone as said, the aspirant process will most likely not be a part of NPC recruitment. I cannot speak to how that AKA chapter is, and most NPHC collegiate chapter memberships are 19-22 year olds. However, NPHC orgs do have chapters (at commuter and non-commuter schools) with non-traditional applicants and members. Or they are open to the idea of much older members as long as the member doesn't try to act like an advisor or parent. Depending on the chapter, there may be no difference between a 26+ yo collegiate NPHCer and a 20 yo collegiate NPHCer. Some collegiate chapters operate very much like alumnae chapters and if there's something that the older members feel is "too young" for them (i.e. attending certain social events), they can either not attend the event or find the other older NPHCers at the event (many NPHC social events have some older NPHCers there).
