We've had professors join fraternities later on when they began teaching. The fraternities love them and when they guys go "alumni status" they stay on as advisors. Depending on the college's environment, it can be a really cool experience.
At the same time, when I went through rush a woman in her late 30s participated because she'd never gotten a chance. She joined the marines and never went to college and she had recently retired. One sorority didn't cut her at first, to be kind, but by the end of day 2 she was gone. I think the sororities were conscious of social events - like would the guys be freaked out at date parties and formals. My thoughts on her were --> yes. They would have. On the other hand, the fraternities at my university love drinking with alumni, uncles, dads, and grandpas and all but 2 houses would not think twice about an older member going through recruitment.
