Is it worth it to pledge senior year?

[Hayden Fox]

I'm going to go with no. Pledgeship should be time consuming and you don't need anything else on your plate if you are trying to graduate. Most people will wonder why you didn't pledge before so it will be hard to get a bid. You would only be active for 1 semester, so you probably wouldn't get as much out of it as you put in. My chapter, no offense, wouldn't take you.

You're going to have a hard time finding folks who'll take you.

Your active experience will be pretty limited. To each his own though. You might be able to make your contribution as an alumnus. We had some seniors in our original colony group. We invited them back to initiate when we got our charter (some of them). Some have made some pretty substantial contributions as alums.

You have nothing to lose by checking out fraternity rush. But pledgeship in a fraternity can be time-consuming, which may be a consideration if you are in your final year and looking toward internships, getting that first job or taking MCATs/GREs/LSATs and getting into a grad program. I'd recommend checking out rush for the experience and to see if there is a chapter you feel is a good mutual match for their needs and your interests. Depending on the campus, some fraternities may be less inclined to take seniors, while others are more open.
