You're obviously older; all you have to say is I worked after high school then went to junior college. That makes you a normal guy and not something they don't understand or identify with.

I don't know anything really about age and IFC, but what Firehouse says seems really important.

You don't want to seem like bitter-I-wasted-my-youth-guy. So the less you call attention to how you feel about what you did instead or getting into having an ex-wife, the better I think.

Is it possible to talk to some of the guys you met already informally before hand rush?

maybe, if not the ones i have met before i know i can talk to some members of other fraternities - my roomate for this semester (wasnt last semester) was a member of a fraternity when he was there (he took a semester off) and he knows some guys...

i agree about the whole "life story" bit ----
