I rushed and pledged as a first year graduate student. Sigma Alpha Mu does not have honorary membership, so I did not receive (nor would I accept) any special treatment from my degreed status. My pledge brothers were both first semester freshmen. Even though I was five years older than both of them, we all got along perfectly!
As 33girl mentioned, the downside to graduate students pledging is the lack of time. I fondly recall many sleepless nights in order to fullfill my academic as well as pledgeship obligations.
