As someone slowly approaching 30, I can understand the reservations of your chapter. I find it difficult to see how someone in their 30's can mesh well with girls 18-22. I think 18-22 year-olds are great but we are also at 2 different places in our lives for the most part. That may sound discrimnatory if you are 18-22 reading this post, but when you get to be my age (28) and away from the daily happenings that go on in a lot of sororities, you would understand. What is her schedule and family responsibilities like? Does she work? Someone else posted it here and this is the bottom line I think: DO YOU LIKE HER AND WANT TO HANG OUT WITH THIS WOMAN? Is she going to be around for traditional college "stuff" like parties, overnights, roadtrips, random shopping trips to the mall and anything that traditionally goes on in a sorority that helps bond everyone together? On the other hand, there are many people in their late 20's and early 30's who don't even look or act their "age" and I don't mean that in a negative way. Knowing what I know now at my age that I didn't know back then (or want to know LOL) I feel too that any "older" student could also be a great asset to any sorority. Overall, again, I think it comes down to if you girls like her and want her as a friend and sister, and does she feel the same way? Or is she just trying to do a bunch of things she didn't do when she was "younger" if you know what I am saying?
