Too old to join a Sorority?

USA is a Deep South school. Your options may not be as extensive as others, but go in with an open mind and you may end up with a positive outcome. Keep in mind, however, that the members of your incoming class will be in the 17 - 18 year old range.

I'm at UAB.
Several of my line sisters are 18 or barely 19, I am almost 23. I don't have any issues with my LS's, but sometimes they want me to go to parties with them (the 18 to get in), but they understand that if I go out to a club (which is extremely rare) I prefer the 21 and up crowd. That is the only thing that is noticiable...the few of us who are 22 and another is 23 are almost never at parties. I think that the maturity thing is not an issue for me since there are other seniors on my line.

As an advisor, I always told my active members to consider the woman - not the number. I think a more mature student would be a real asset - so by all means go through rush. Do be ready to discuss why you waited to go to college - and why you think that will make you a better sister!

Thanks for all the positive advice

I personally don't think 22 is too old, but as I've been reading, Greek life is big in the South and 22 might be too old for down where I'm headed (that makes it sound like hell lol) Im from Indiana, IU and Notre Dame are big, but I don't know anyone who goes to either thats too into sorority life...Notre Dame=huge football (obviously) and IU=party party party. Both are pretty expensive to get into, its cheaper for me to go out of state than go to either one of these two colleges that are in state for me. Anyway thats besides the point. Hopefully I'll be able to post a good recruitment thread in about a year...if not its not the end of the world and most certainly not the end all be all of college. Just seems like something that would be fun. And as I'll be going down alone, not knowing anybody, I'll most definatly have an open mind. Thanks again for the advice
