Am I too old

[wannabe greek]

I have an issue. As you can see I wanna be a greek. I know what fraternity, and chapter I want to join, but I want to give as little information as possible, but I need answers to some questions. I Graduated from High school in 98. I wanted to go greek then, but my life was a mess, and my head was not on straight. I only lasted a year. I lived my life in a cloud of weed smoke for a few years, and made some bad decissions. I got my life together and I am back in school at the local community college and after two semesters I am achieving a 3.6 GPA. Im tranfering to a four year school in fall 2013. My desire to go greek never left, but I am 33 years old. I know I have to wait a semester, but my question are, am I too old to take part in the M.I.P., and would it be wise to go to the events, get to know the members of that chapter, and let them get to know me before attending the university? If any greeks could respond I would greatly appreciate it.

What kind of Greek organization do you want to join? NIC or what?

And at 33, do you really want to hang out with 18 year olds and go to parties with 18 year old college girls?? Pretty creepy to me....

Yes, it's a BGLO.I dont wanna hang out with 18 year olds and go to college parties. It is not about partying to me. It is about accomplishing a goal, kind of like summiting a mountain. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is'nt being greek a life long commitment, if so, than why does age matter.

The other folks commenting were coming at this from a IFC/NPC perspective, which is very different.
