Age when Initiated
tried to search this topic and got some random results so I decided to start a new one.
I just wanted to get a general idea of the age that some of you ladies (and gents) when you were officially initiated into your sorority or fraternity.
And if you had the choice to do it again: would you do it at an older or younger age?

I'll be the first. I was 36 when I was initiated into my sorority. That was in 2000.
If I had the chance to do it again: I can't say whether I would do it at an older or younger age. Things happen when they are supposed to happen in our lives.

I was initiated at the tender age of 18 in the fall of my sophomore year. I know that this bucks conventional wisdom but if I had to do it over again, I probably would have waited for alumnae chapter....

I don't know what your experiences were, but I haven't decided whether I'm glad I waited or not.
On one hand, I definitely didn't have time for foolishness as college student. On the other, dammit if foolishness ain't everywhere!
To answer the question, I was 23.

Its not really about what I went through but more about how I could have approached my goals differently. Another example is that I would like to have gone to grad school straight out of undergrad instead of trying to complete it now, 20 years later. Then again, I might not have met my husband if I had not gone back home after undergrad.
I am a firm believer in the philosophy that everything happens for a reason but that doesn't preclude thinking that I could have done some things differently for better or worse.

36, initiated in graduate chapter in December 2000.
I felt it was the right time for me. Mainly because I came in with nine other great, hard-working women.

It happened when it was supposed to happen.  Not a minute sooner.

I was 26 when I was initiated in spring of 2002. I agree with the rest of the posters; it happens when it's supposed to happen. There is a time for everything.

I was a senior, age 22. It happened no sooner or later than it should have.

I was 26 and turned 27 that September (Sp. 2007). It happened in God's perfect timing so I would not have had it any other way.
