I know that some think it might be odd for a person over 40 to want to join a fraternity, but I'd be interested in seeing if anyone here has had experience with older men who are interested in joining a fraternal organization later in life.

I'm returning to college this Spring to get a BSN in Nursing in Southern California and although this will be my second bachelor's degree, I didn't have a chance to join a fraternity the first time around. I assure you, I'm not looking to scam on young girls, since I'm already engaged, and my fiancee is encouraging me to look into fraternities. I truly want to experience Greek Life and be involved with service and brotherhood.

I believe I have a great deal to offer an organization and a lot of life experience to share with my future brothers. I'm a good person and very open-minded and feel that I could learn from other members as much as they could learn from me.

Do you think I would be welcomed during Rush or is this just a pipe dream? all opinions are welcome, positive and negative... and please share your experiences with pledging older members.
