Greek life question: Is 24 too old to rush a fraternity?

Hello everyone,

I am 24 years old and a Junior at my university studying pre-med. Don't ask me why I havent graduated yet, truth be told i get tired of having to explain that. I had previously changed my major and it was a while before I became DECISIVE about what I wanted to do career-wise.

Anyway, I am writing because I have had interest in greek life since I started college. I DID get invited to rush one of the fraternities a couple years ago, but didnt go because I was not sure if I was ready (long story). But I have looked extensively into what greek life is all about (some of my relatives were greek in college) and have come across a lot of positive (and unfortunately negative) information. Nonetheless I'm still interested in the possibility, if there still is one.

The question is, at 24 years old is it too late to be considered? I'm asking because I know that a lot of students join at 18 or 19 and some in their first semester in college. I'm not trying to brag (but it will sound like I am, I know) but I am very good looking, get good grades, athletic, I'm a member of the student government at my school, and I still LOOK like I'm about 15 or 16 ( no joke, I routinely get mistaken for a highschooler). Does any of this help or did I simply wait too long? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And thanks!

P.s. -- some of you might ask my reason for wanting to join, and that's welcome, in short, I wish to maximise the rest of my undergrad experience, and help broaden my career chances, which I believe I will do either way, but again, this is still something of interest to me =)
