Crystal,

Don't let anyone get down on you regarding your age or class standing. Believe in yourself and that the houses will look past that to see what a fantastic sister you would make.

By the way, I went throught the same thing when I joined my sorority. I constantly heard "but you're 32 why would you join a sorority", and even better was the "you're a graduate student they're not going to ask you to join". Well they were proved wrong. I was initiated into Phi Sigma Sigma on March 24, 2001 as a 33 year old graduate student and no it wasn't as an Alumna initiate. Since then my chapter has initiated two more women my age and earlier this month we initiated a woman who I think is 38 or 39 can't remember exactly. So again don't let age and class standing stop you from trying rush.

I'm now 35 and going to miss being active when I graduate next year - you know I will go on to be an advisor somewhere. And being in a sorority is for life as you said.

Good luck,
Carolyn
