23 year old transfer - too old to rush?

[DubaiSis]

There was a poster here a couple years ago who was rushing at a non-traditional campus. I personally thought she was way too old (older than you, but I don't recall all the details), but who am I to say, especially without knowing the exact school or her personally. She did end up pledging and it sounded like her pledge class was mostly older students, so she wasn't really out of her league. 23 year old junior at Bama? No, don't bother. 23 year old junior at a CUNY? Why not? You could have a great experience, although it's not going to be the same thing as the more traditional pledge class of 50 almost exclusively 18 year olds. And who would want it to be? Gack. But you could spend a couple years really enjoying the meat of collegiate sorority membership - scholarship, leadership and service - with maybe less giggling about boys.

I think it is becoming more common in many campuses, maybe not the big flagship school like U-Texas, but they had some 23-25 at Texas State and U. Houston.
