I think you many chapters could be pleasantly surprised at the interest graduate women have in joining a sorority. I was 32 and would have loved to join a sorority when I was younger but CSUDH didn't have one. When Phi Sig was recruiting for the colony and I told them I was 32 and a grad student. Their response was so. We ended up having a few grad students as founding sisters. I'm now 34 and still not the oldest in my chapter as we recruited another "oldie but goodie" (sorry tracey). Plus there are a couple more interested. Check out the Alumni Forums here and you will see a couple of threads from people who want to see if they can be initiated as Alums since they think they're too old to join a sorority.
For grad students school is just another priority in a long list of priorities and if they are interested in Phi Sig then they will make it a priority in their life. If not maybe you've gained a great "friend of Phi Sig" at least.
I suggest you keep the option open and definitely let it be known that grad students are welcome. If you meet one more quality woman who wants to join then you've gained another fantastic sister.
