I waited awhile after highschool to start college, so I'll only be a sophomore when I transfer down there. Do you think 22 is too old to join?

I don't think so. I think it all just depends on how well you get ot know the members of the sorority.

I have to disagree. I think it has to do with the campus culture. On some campuses (especially in the South), 22 (regardless of class standing) is too old, especially when the majority of those going through rush are 17-18 years old and sororities may look more favorably on them.

I agree with this. It really depends on the campus you are on. I pledged at 22 and had no problem whatsoever, but had I been on other campuses in this state I would have had no chance of getting a bid because of my age and junior standing at the time.
