When I was a collegiate we bid and initiated a NM who was 40. She was also Asian and not even the Asian girls (over half the chapter) realized she wasn't 20-22. My point being, we thought she was a typical transfer student. She was an active member for only one year before she withdrew. She didn't live as close to campus and worked so all of the required events on campus at night and on the weekend were burdensome. Add in the prep week for formal recruitment, essentially requiring her to not work, it was a deal breaker.
Good luck to you and your friend.
