3 - to meet girls
4 - to go to the parties

Now, before I am blasted, remember what I said: this all goes back to the fundamental differences betwen men and women. Guys join fraternities for different reasons that women join sororities. That said, once they are in the fraternity, the philanthropy does end up becoming important to them - but it is not a deciding factor for the most part.

Most girls join for the booze and booty too.

"Right" reasons why we went Greek: What we tell others (for the most part)
"Wrong" reasons why we went Greek: What we really feel

But I think you're right about people staying Greek for less selfish reasons.
