Long story short, when I start at USC Upstate I will be 32. I know most of the girls that will be doing rush will be at least 10 years younger than me. Is it completely mental for me to even consider rushing?

Most of the girls going through recruitment will be 18 - 14 years younger than you.
It depends on the school. If it's a school with a non-traditional student body, and older student, it might work.
Sororities take a lot of time. It's not just a one-hour meeting a week - it's that plus a new member meeting plus socials (why pledge a sorority if you can't do the social thing?) plus sisterhood events (movie night, bowling) plus hanging out at the house/chapter room, plus doing stuff for events like homecoming. Most of it's optional, but that's how you build sisterhood - by doing things together.
Older women tend to have responsibilities that leave them little time for much hanging out.
I'd suggest you make an appointment with the Greek Life advisor and discuss the matter.
