My cousin's son just returned from five years in the army and was 24 when he entered Temple U. If there is a House there that welcomes him and he wants to join it, I see nothing unusual.

There were waves of older ex-soldiers returning to or entering college after World War II, Vietnam and now the Middle East. Many of them joined Fraternities. I don't see any insurmountable problems. We had some older guys in my time and if say, there was a Pledge mixer with a sorority, the older guys had the sense to skip it. It wasn't like we took attendance.

Thirty four though, is different, but some of us enjoy the different.
