The most obvious question will be why you waited so long...especially if you've been involved in other things on campus, AND especially if you just got married. (It would make more sense if you had just gotten divorced.)
To be quite frank, if you would come through my chapter during rush, I'd assume you were just trying to go Greek to pad your resume.
My best friend joined as a senior, BUT:
-This was at a campus where people often took 5-6 years to graduate.
-Her family home was 30 miles from campus and she had every intention of being an active alumna.
-She had minimal campus involvement.
-She was good friends with several sisters.
-We had no live-in requirement at our (small family-style) house.
Unless you know FOR SURE that you are going to have time to be involved as a grad student (and from what most people say on here, you never have as much time as you think you will) it's improper to go into rush saying "well I'm a senior but I'll be here for grad school and can be active then." Some sororities allow active grad students, some do not, and at some chapters, even if the national policy is to allow it, a grad student would not feel welcome or comfortable.
Give it a whirl if you want, but prepare to get raked over the coals.
