It's not that older members can't be involved. It's that a member who is that much older than the others is probably going to have different priorities. Also...and maybe no one else has ever experienced this, but I'm just going to throw it out there:
A lot of times, people who are in their 30's or above tend to 'talk down' to younger adults, try to reorganize and run things, and argue with the way things are done based on their "life experience". I'm not saying you do; I don't even know you. I'm just saying that I personally would be hesitant in bidding an older member because I wouldn't want her to disrupt the chapter in such a way. Of course, I would definitely give her a fair chance, but I would be more cautious.
