Thanks for that AZ AlphaXi... Tuscon doesnt have their website linked on the NPC site.

They dont ask, but I do believe they ask you what year you graduated high school on most recruitment registration/information forms. It will also include her current college class standing. Assuming one typically graduates high school at the age of 17/18, then it isnt hard to do that math and figure out how old she is. In addition, some sorority recommendation forms may ask this information as well if not flat out ask an age. As a recruitment advisor, I can say those forms are each looked at by the chapter. Most likely they will have an idea of how old she is, so they wont need to ask her.
As for me personally, while I did not attend Arizona, I did go through recruitment and pledge at 22 at my school. I had an additional two years left due to transferring and changing my major. While my school favors freshman, it was not competitive at the time, though now it is increasingly becoming so.
I wish you the very best of luck and take the advice of my sister, IrishLake here

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one who has thought about rushing at a later age. Thank you for all of your advice everyone.

Ummm....no. First semester freshmen can rush at Penn State. Junior rushing is not uncommon as it is at some similar schools, but I don't think people purposely wait until junior year either.
Not that it matters for Russian Chick because she's going to Arizona.

Your age/class standing will be a disadvantage at Arizona. However, it is not something you can control. Focus on what you CAN control, like trying to get recommendations, having good conversational skills, and looking polished.

She knows nothing about Penn State because she isn't Greek.
I'm willing to bet that she = volleyball29 = miss_ettiquette = everyone else.
She probably used an actual sorority for her trolling to make herself more believeable.

Is it wrong to want our trolls to do some research before coming here posting and expecting us to have all the answers?
I mean come on, the answers are all out there if they just go look it up, talk to people. Stop relying on GC.

I doubt that this is a Phi Mu.
