You have quite the perspective problem if parties are why you think I spent my money on dues. I didn't waste a dime. And way to avoid the part of my comment that was the most relevant.
Our switches/date dashes/crush parties were always at bars - rented out space with wristbands and cash bar- and had a DJ and dancing.

It's interesting to find out how different campus cultures vary.

NB: This was in a tiny college town with 1.5 bars (there were two bars but one was AWFUL) so without Greek Life, there wasn't a lot to do.

It's a combination of these two, some people just wanted to do other things, but most had coursework and clinical/practicum/lab requirements that took up a lot of their time.
