In your case I believe it wouldn't matter. As long as your an undergraduate and in good standing(Beta Theta Pi Fraternity is 2.5 GPA). I believe that GPA is the norm for most college campuses. I had a brother who rushed when he was 24 coming into college as a junior out of the Air Force. I pledged when I was 21 and my three other pledge brothers were about 18. There are many positive things that can come from an older pledge. I personally believe that age doesn't matter but then it all depends on the Fraternity. Now, I'm speaking from a social Fraternity perspective. You'll just have to go out and meet each Fraternity for yourself during rush. Good Luck!
