I'd like to interject here that age isn't necessarily a barrier, particularly for fraternities.
For example, I rushed when I was 26 and an upperclassman and got bids from two fraternities at one university.
I ended up depledging due to the fact of transferring schools and there not being a chapter at the new university.
At my new school, I was pretty heavily recruited by all but one of the fraternities (though granted, this is a campus that had only four, now three fraternities) and got a bid from the fraternity which had the best mutual fit.
So now I'm a proud member of Delta Sigma Phi, Epsilon Iota chapter.
You really do need to keep in mind that it's all about mutual fit and go in with the proper attitude. At my first school, there were fraternities that I knew for one reason or another wouldn't work out for one reason or another and I can honestly say I'd have been miserable in those places.
