As a (now ETS'ed) Guard veteran, we've had many of our guys join fraternities, both before and after serving in Iraq. I know the fraternity was a huge source of support for the guys who deployed after they joined. There are probably other brothers at UMD who have had experiences similar to yours.
I was 21 when I joined my service sorority...with some different life experiences than the younger members. I found my "niche" with some older sisters and had a lot of fun.
You lose absolutely nothing for trying.
I'd also recommend checking out ROTC, even for a semester. There is no commitment, it's fun, its easy, and you will meet up with a lot of prior service people.
