We, of course, are interested in the same sorority & I wonder if it's better to let her have this moment to herself vs us taking this journey together.
Are there any age restrictions for pledging undergrad as well as in the history of the Divine 9, are there any cases where mother/daughter or father/son have been on the same line?

I would definitely encourage you in your late 30's to seek membership at the grad level. Since membership in an NPHC org is for life, you can never be seen as "too old" for grad membership and you will be among some women who are your age. I've never heard of a parent/child going thru Membership Intake together unless both of them were doing so via grad and I've never heard of anyone in their late 30's going thru intake on the undergrad level. I'm 30+ and while I advise and mentor our undergrad members, I would not want to be in their chapters. My advice, let your daughter be among her peers and you can be among yours once you graduate and pursue membership on the grad level, which is more business oriented (although we do have fun!) and I think more in line with the experience you'd prefer. Good Luck to you!
