Age shouldn't matter - I functioned as a chapter advisor at a chapter that had one active older than I was (I was 28 when I started in that role). Since then, I have also seen another new member join at 28 - and he fit in rather nicely - he turned out to be a good role model for the younger, yet more "senior" members of the chapter. It all boils down to how you choose to treat all new members. Obviously, if this chapter had decided to do some good old-fashioned hazing, he would have left - he was too old for that kind of crap - that's why he was so comfortable joining with us.
