Am I the only person here who thinks it's odd that a 40 year old would want to join a sorority with a bunch of 18-22 year olds and that they would have to come online to solicit advice?
This isn't happy pony rainbow land, if you want to blow sunshine up people's behinds, head that way.
Better yet, stay there.

I recall my last semester as an undergrad, tabling during Fall Rush. We were approached by an older woman who expressed interest in attending one of our Rush events. We assumed (not thinking) that she was a grad student because she looked well into her 40s. She said she was getting her BA, but we still gave her that "well, we don't want you to come because you're OLD" look. She still came to one of the parties, but she got the hint when it was clear that she had absolutely nothing in common with the rushees and she left early.
So we were shallow and rude. So what? That was our way of thinking at 18-22 years old. But what are you gonna do about it? It's those 18-22 year olds who gets the final say in who's in and who isn't.
To the OP (if you're even still around), I'm going to be blunt and say that you probably shouldn't do it. That lady who came to our rush event was clearly humiliated. Unless you get off on that stuff, you probably shouldn't attempt to go through recruitment.
