I agree with the above posts, you must go into rush with an open mind but your eyes open to the fact that you may be cut from several groups just for being older and just for GPA purposes.
However, does that mean you have nothing to offer a group? of course not! and hopefully there may just be a group that would like to get some older girls.
Realistically, freshman are the ones that will make up most of the pledge class but sometimes chapters who may be a bit lower on numbers or are aniticipating a large senior class graduating can "pick up" juniors & seniors without it counting towards quota so that might help you. I don't know if you have any on our campus, but often newer groups like to have a variety of ages. Also, if you have friends in any of the groups that know you and know your situation they may be able to help 'sell' you a bit more to their chapter. Also, as someone mentioned, being active on campus with other activities that may lower the focus on your age or GPA.
Anyway, I hope rush is a positive experience for you!
