These three ladies quoted below, and Jazing above, are four of the wisest people I know. You should listen to them because this advice is not only true but will save you time and wasted money for classes where you don't perform and a Greek Life that decides it doesn't want you because you haven't nailed down the scholar part just yet.

For men your age, how old you are is not quite as important as it is for women in recruitment. A fraternity that will make you a better man than you already are will want to see the steps you will take for yourself so they know that they can rely on you as a brother.
