Is it common for graduate students to rush a fraternity?

Yes, there will be those who say focus on grad school and nothing else, but there are still 24 hours in a day and it's possible to do both.

Good luck!

Thanks! Idk if they actually want me (though I seem to get along really well with a lot of the brothers), but if I were to get a bid, I'd definitely accept. As for being the oldest, it doesn't bother me since I'm only 22, so it's not like there's a huge age difference.

And yeah, everyone keeps telling me to solely focus on graduate school, but honestly, I have more free time than I did during undergrad, and I even find the classes easier haha.

That happened to me in grad school too, lol. I became a member of Alpha Phi Alpha through an alumni chapter during that time. It is not the same as becoming a collegiate member, but I found it easier to manage my time.

I did drop out of grad school though, but there were other reasons for that
