It is fine if you have done additional research and have changed your mind. Do not embed your decision in there being something wrong with the fraternities. There are many fraternities with different age ranges and different cultures. Good luck with whatever else you have found.
There is really no need to get nasty, I honestly wasn't trying to be disrespectful, but just responding to the responses on this thread and calling it like i see it. People seem to agree that it isn't a good idea for someone my age to join a fraternity, because of behavior of 18 year olds, how it would "appear" to outside people and that it would be a cold day in hell before I would even be considered because of my age.

That's OK with me.. I was just trying to get a feel for what the atmosphere would be like, and I think I got my answer. However, don't pretend that the prejudices don't exist, because after reading the responses, it's clear that I'm not "embedding"anything.
