I would venture to say that a third or more of the women who rush at my university are sophomore or older. I think by that time people have settled in and they feel like they know what the campus is about, and then they want to see what greek life is about.
In addition, I pledged as a sophomore, my roommate as a junior, and my suitemate as a senior. All three of us are getting equally wonderful experiences in our respective houses-- it didn't matter how late we joined, everyone treated us the same. As far as I'm concerned, the women who will be dedicated to the house and active in all the events will be women who have matured, and sometimes that means they will be a little older. That doesn't bother me in the slightest.
