Because 99.994% of alumni are perfectly content with having fun while letting the other .006% take the leadership roles and do all the work.
Before anyone accuses me of being cynical, let me just say this is not my opinion. In my chapter, it's a fact. People find it much easier to be followers than leaders because leadership takes thought, work, and committment and is subject to criticism - and that scares people.
Plus, if the important meetings are held "the morning after" a pub crawl, that may explain part of it too. I wish I had a magic bullet but I don't. At least you know you are not alone.
