Hello there!
Just wanted to get some input from those who are most familiar with greek life regarding how old is
too old to pledge?
I will be transferring to a private, urban campus in the fall and just turned 23 years old. I will be in Junior-standing and have a great GPA from my previous institution. I have always wanted to join a sorority, but as a commuter at my previous institution, the time requirements just weren't feasible. At my new institution, I will be living right near campus, and I would love to get as involved as possible for my last 2 years.
I have browsed the forum already and have read threads asking the same question I am, and have many times come across the common question of, "Will you be able to tolerate being around 18-19 year old pledges?". I truly do not see socializing with younger girls as being a potential issue as I am a very social, young, and open-minded person, and having once been that age, I remember exactly what it was like, and all the excitement and blissful naivety that comes along with it.
So, to all of you, aside from the above, do you have any other concerns about my age? And what do you honestly think about the idea of me rushing at 23?
Some things to take into consideration are:
1) 76% of full-time undergraduates at the institution I will be attending are <24 y/o
2) Since it is an urban, private instituion, greek life is not as prominent as it is at southern universities and Big 10 institutions
3) Transferring is not uncommon here - my school accepts about 2,000 transfer students a year and the total enrollment is about 12,000
Thanks for your time and feedback
