He dropped though. Which is why I'm thankful for an actual pledge process as a mutual selection time so both the pledge and the chapter can determine if it's the right move.

While the written process is the same, it is hard to implement them indentically with the various nuances involved between college life and mid-life.
Maybe I am just jealous, because if I went back to undergrad now, I would have all I could do to just make it through the classes. The older body needs more rest.

Able bodied people find the energy to do the things that are important to them.

Chapter
Visit the chapter and get a feel for the membership. If it feels right then go for it! I've seen guys in their 40s that are working on their doctorate become Greek. It's not as uncommon as you might think.

In the NPHC, guys in their 40s, working on a doctorate would have to go through an alumni chapter. In this case the OP is working on his bachelors degree. Big difference.

Exactly. You're only as old as you feel, and each person is different.
