Question on Rushing in my 30s (Fraternity)

[CrackerBarrel]

When someone says they want to go greek, or says that they're going to college and looking into greek life, they are absolutely 100% always talking about a SOCIAL fraternity. Professional "frats" and greek letter honor societies have absolutely nothing in common with my fraternity (aside from greek letters) and when someone says they're going greek no one is referring to them, so I think it's absurd to even pretend that it's reasonable to think he is asking advice about joining a "business frat".

But when a guy is rushing in his 30s and he has a wife and kids, it's also pretty likely that he's not going to have the fraternity experience that the average person looking into greek life is looking for.

If it turns out that his campus isn't open to 30+ year old social fraternity pledges, he may want to look at what's out there.

Had the OP been an 18 year old recent high school grad, yours would totally be a point worth making. For this guy, maybe not so much.
