There isn't an age limit, so long as you have not completed a bachelor's you are eligible to be considered for membership.

However, if the majority of the sorority members at this 4 year university are 18-22 years old, they may not want a mom in her 30s as a member. Conversely, you may not want to participate in an organization where the majority of the members are this young. A 10 year difference in age is huge from 20 to 30, and the "maturity" level you are dealing with may annoy you. I know I would be!

Sororities offer a fine social outlet for collegiate members, as well as service and friendship, but it is also a large time committment.... your time might be better served in an organization catering to older students, or you might want to seek membership in a non-collegiate sorority, or a professional or service organization (some of which are Greek).

Do seek out the best options for you and if sorority membership on your campus is something you would like to try, by all means-- give it a shot. But I think given your age and stage in life, if it were me, I'd look into another activity. I just don't think you'd find much in common with these ladies at this point in both of your lives. There are always exceptions, however, but this is the norm.
