Am I too old too rush?

[Chicago88]

I'm not sure how to word this, but can someone explain how sororities prefer a younger pledge class over a 2 year transfer student? Maybe not prefer over but why is it harder to join a sorority when the woman is a little older? I can understand the idea that the older pledges may not want to have someone younger in charge or something like that but not being part of Greek life Ive always wondered this. Thanks ladies!

Also, what does it mean to associate with a chapter? I have read it on multiple posts here.
