I wouldn't read SoCalGirl's comments as encouraging. Yeah, sure, give it a shot, is not exactly a glowing endorsement. And what we (generally) mean by be open to every chapter, means be open to the smallest, least successful, most struggling chapter on campus. The IT girl house on campus? They aren't taking an over 22 year old transfer senior. It's just not going to happen. They likely wouldn't take a 19 year old sophomore college transfer. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you couldn't still have a positive experience in that smaller weaker chapter.

If you happen to be transferring to a school that has had recent expansion (added another sorority) that group may be open to an older member. They would be looking for leadership, stability, common sense, some of those things you undoubtedly learned in the military. Just something to think about as you prepare for conversation.
