I wouldn't go out of my way to let anyone know my age. I was making the rounds at U.Tenn Martin my soph year, checking on a pledge during study hours. I was her guardian angel so we were sort of close. To my horror, she was making mixed drinks in a blender in her room. I didn't get authoritative because I remember being scolded for goofing off myself during study hours, but I told her we had to clean it up etc, before anyone else came in. She told me she was 22 (I was 18) and in so many words let me know that she could handle it. She was an "A" student, and even represented that particular freshman dorm in the Miss UTM pagent. I don't remember anyone mentioning her age during rush. I do remember she was Banana Queen lol. She ended up being more of a guardian angel to me in the long run. We had so much stupid fun. This brings back so many good memories.
Was this the Fulton, Kentucky / South Fulton, Tennessee International Banana Festival?
Its been said before, but frankly it is all about your campus' culture. One of my pledge sisters was 23, and she was a great asset to our pledge class.
