Keep in mind also that many women come back from serving in the military and are 22, 23, or older and are starting on the GI bill. So they very well may be 27 or 28 before graduating on a completely normal academic schedule. A friend of mine (my roommates ex BF) pledged a fraternity at age 27 after working in the military, getting an associates, then coming here to work on his bachelors. It worked out well for him, he was a great asset to his chapter. Mature when it was needed, immature when it wasn't.
By the way, someone made a comment on the maturity of a mother wanting to pledge in the beginning of the thread...think back to how you were when you were rushing? Bet you were pretty immature. I know I was, and being an active and learning to juggle was a great part of growing up.
