I'll be honest, I don't think either of you have a chance of getting past the first round if you're going to schools where the majority of pnm's are traditional students.
I totally get that you probably feel like you missed out on the opportunity to be in a sorority, have sisters, etc but you should seek out other avenues appropriate for a 30-something woman. Junior League or other women's service and social organizations would be a much better fit and you would actually be with women who are of the same age/ stage/ maturity.
You may not have really thought through the logistics of pledging a sorority as a 30-something:
-Are you prepared to be in a pledge class where 90%+ of the other women are 18 and living on their own away from their parents for the first time? Do you think they'll include you in their friend groups and social activities? Do you even want to be included? Remember what you were like at 17-19....
-Are you prepared to respect a long list of mandatory sorority rules, ranging from required living in the house to required study hours or participation in social events where everyone in attendance will be 8-12+ years younger?
I LOOOVED my sorority and even lived in the house for 3 years. But every time I go back for Founders Day or alumnae weekend, I'm reminded of how much I've grown up and matured in the 15 years since I graduated. Even the most mature chapter officers just seem *so* young....because they are!
