I also don't see the problem with the age difference....I was 17 when I pledged and there was a 27 year old in my pledge class. It didn't make a difference to us. And it shouldn't.
My biological sister is 7 years older than I am and we hang out together and have a great time. There's nothing wrong with that. Why should it be any different for people who aren't biologically related?
When I was a collegian, I used to attend some of the alumnae get togethers with women who were in their late 20s and early 30s and could actually carry on conversations with them easier than with some of the other collegiate members who were closer to my age.
There just comes a point when age is no longer a factor in friendships. Usually that tends to be sometime around high school graduation when you realize that you are capable of having friends who you once thought were "old." I still hang out with the collegiate members, some of whom are 5 years younger than I am, and I hang out with the alumnae, some of whom are at least 10 years older than me. I also hang out with my sister and her friends and even my mother (Heaven forbid) and her friends. Age shouldn't make a difference and there is nothing wrong with someone who chooses to associate with people who are more than three years their junior or senior.
