the only age-limit thing i've ever seen is (i think) that to be a member of chi omega you have to be at least 14. i'm pretty sure there aren't age limits, beings how my friend's school allowed a 39 year old woman to register for recruitment.

As long as a woman is on her FIRST undergrad degree, I don't think Pan-Hel can impose any age limit, other then the one mentioned for Chi-O, that they have to be at least 14 - and even then I think they would still have to let the 13-year-old super-genius rush, but her options would be limited (as would a 39 year old woman).
I dunno John - how DOES that 13-year-old super-genius at undergrad rush work??

While a chapter could have limits (or just feel uncomfortable about pledging someone a lot older). I don't think Panhel can.
So I agree with all of the above.  Someone who's 25 and is more of a traditional student (stretching the definition a bit) would have a better shot than a 39 year old non-traditional student. But that's all campus culture and such.

I agree that it's a matter of campus culture. If a school has a high percentage of non-traditional students, I'm sure that age doesn't matter as much as it would in a very conservative, traditional college. With that said, I don't see a 37-year old with a child getting a bid at most colleges.

There is NO age limit on going through rush, and I'm guessing not to join any sororities either (unless it's a minimum, not a maximum). If there was, the NPC sororities and national Panhellenic would be in a world of trouble and age discrimination lawsuits.

We have a 25 year old new member this fall and she is an amazing addition to our chapter!!! Also, a few years back another chapter on campus pledged a 40+ year old woman, mainly because she was a legacy of sorts. Her daughter was a member of the chaper a few years prior. She obviously wasn't very active in the chapter, but it is possible to get a bid...

absolutely! I was 25 when I crossed and one of my line sisters was older than me.
