Actually, and this may just be my experience in Texas and now Indiana, most grad students are no more than a year or two removed from the undergrad age group. Grad students are aging as folks come back for retraining but for the most part people are going straight through now. When I was working on my MA I was at best three years older than the average undergad. Now I'm sometimes younger than the folks I'm teaching undergraduate coursework and won't be 30 until six months after my FINAL degree is conferred.

Having said that, I don't think I would want to join an undergrad chapter NOW. Perhaps during my MA it would have made more sense because more of the chapter would have been closer to my age range. Riht now it's ALL about just helping out with the chapter as they need help.
