Personally my motto is you're never too old. If you don't do it you'll look back in a few years regretting that you didn't go through recruitment.

When I was an undergrad, my campus didn't have any greeks. When I came back to school 7 years later and finally finished my BA in 1998 the only greeks were Black or Latina based. Finally in 2000 Phi Sigma Sigma came to campus looking to start a new chapter. I worked on campus and spoke to the extension team about the sorority to get info for the women in the program I worked for. The representative I talked to asked me if I was interested. I told her I was a Grad student and her response was so. Then I told her I was in my 30's and she explained about how Phi Sigma Sigma was open to all women regardless of student standing, age, race, etc. I went to some recruitment parties and thought long and hard about joining a sorority in my 30's. I finally said the heck with it, I had always wanted to be in a sorority and continued on with recruitment. I became a founding sister of the Iota Gamma Chapter at the age of 33. i have never once regretted it.

My chapter ranges in age from 18 year old freshman up to 37 year old grad students with everyone represented in between. Some of our strongest sisters are transfer students who are juniors and seniors.

I strongly encourage you to go through recruitment. I think you'll find it was one of the best decisions of your life.
