Think of it like having a boss who's younger than you. Some people can deal with that, some people can't.
I don't think I'd have a problem with that. I'm just wondering what would be acceptable behavior -- them being in charge -- and what would be reprehensible?
Hi,
I'm a new member on this forum. I'd like to join a fraternity, but I'm 24 and I'll be doing a PhD. I was wondering which fraternities would accept me.
Regards,
Rob

But this is an extreme situation.
Would there be particular fraternities/schools that would accept me?

Are you doing your thesis on hazing?
You might not have a problem being a 24 year old and a grad student - if it weren't for the fact that your posts all make you sound like you're 50.
