As a military veteran you will have no problem with pledgeship. As an undergrad with retainability you will not be at an age disadvantage. Because of your experience any house you would want would be very likely to be happy to have you. You bring maturity and seasoning along with real leadership gained where it is earned the hard way. When added to your obvious enthusiasm this has to count heavily in your favor. In older universities where strong multi-generational traditions are the norm this may actually work in your favor. Third or even fourth generation brothers whose families have a tradition of serving their country before serving themselves will probably be your strongest supporters. You have earned your spurs in the brotherhood of warriors. So now go earn your badge in the brotherhood of your fraternity.
(Watch Animal House again and remember that no house wants a fanatic like Niedermeyer. However, any good house will respect your service as they judge how well you fit the chapter). Good luck.
