I get the feeling that a service organization may be a better fit for what you are looking for. There are so many out there and many offer great social opportunities also.

Anyway if you really want to pursue pledging a social fraternity, some things to consider... you will be hanging out with people much much younger than you, with even bigger differences and priorities. Your pledge brothers will be literally half your age. You will be getting to know, and perhaps answering to, actives who have a much narrower world view and far less wisdom than you. Are you OK with that? Do you think you will find a fraternity at your local school that will be comfortable with a 37 year old hanging out at social and service events? Do you really want to go out serenading 18-22 year old women? Or tailgate with kids who weren't alive when the Super Bowl Shuffle was a thing? Or endure the type of music college kids these days enjoy at parties? (lol) Will you find a lot in common with a group of students worrying about midterms and class projects? Do you really want to fork out the dues that these kids pay every semester?
