I'm not sure if U of A is big on recommendations. What I do know is that recruitment numbers (girls participating) has gone up, chapter sizes have gone up and that is why we were asked to come back a year early. I heard that about 1000 girls go through recruitment, not sure if that is true or not.
I'm 30. I love being in my sorority. I am absolutely thrilled that my chapter of initiation is back at U of A, but quite honestly I can't imagine being an active member now, at my age. I say this mainly because their priorities as an 18-22year old, are completely different then mine.
Also, as bear_down said, the chapters do require a 2 year live in. So you would need to ask yourself, "can I live with 18-22 year olds for 2 years". On the other hand though, age is just a number.
Now, with everything that has been "said" and you still are like "I wanna try it", I say go for it! Yes, you might not get a bid, but you will meet new people and since you have stated that quite a few of your friends are people in this age range, you might make some new friends.
None of us can speak for the chapters and how they will respond to you. As OTW said, recruitment is a mutual selection process.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
