Yes we have had 16 year old members, and it wasn't that long ago. We have had several 17 year old members and have not had to do anything really differently concerning signing the agreement forms or housing, but I would think this may vary from place to place depending on whether or not you have university housing or a house corporation. It probably isn't a problem if housing is done through the university.
The bigger problem is that we have had some disagreements with locations for social events that denied access to members that were not 18. This can happen based on local liquor laws and whether or not the establishment is open to other clients at the same time. In our case, we had a private party room inside a larger establishment, but security denied access to 17 year old new members. The social chair was able to clear this up to prevent it from happening again (by providing a list of what girls to expect that were 17), but it didn't work out at that party.
I would think the one other place that age might be a problem is if you were going to go on a trip that had the members leaving the state?
