Unfortunately, in virtually all cases, if you don't join a sorority in your late teens, you give up any chance of doing so. And if you weren't IN college at 18, that unfortunately doesn't change that. While membership is for a lifetime and the nature of membership changes with age, level of involvement and geography, at the collegiate level it is a social group first and foremost. And the 19-22 year old members have the responsibility in toto of choosing who they want in their club. And if they don't want someone who seems really old to them, that is their prerogrative.

My suggestion for you is to look at Miss Cherry Pie's thread, and go the way she did. There are social sororities that would not "discriminate" based on your age (the child part is probably secondary to your age), and that's where I would focus your efforts. But as she has mentioned, you won't be having formals or date parties. It's a different kind of organization and you have to choose to be happy with that.
