Most fraternities do spend their time fundraising - for charity. Convincing people to donate money, so that your chapter can do "fraternity things" like have socials, buses for brotherhood events, t shirts etc would be almost impossible. Fraternity budgets often eclipse 100k a semester. You think you can raise 200k/year to do this kind of stuff when fraternities and sororities struggle to raise 1/10 that amount for actual charities? Now, if your budget was like a few hundred dollars a year, maybe even a couple grand, I could see this working. However, this means your chapter isn't doing much. For example, imagine raising money for multiple buses to las vegas, hotel rooms there, gifts for dates, t shirts, etc. This is an event that most fraternities do, and can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Who wants to donate this to some 19-22 year olds? In short, relying on donations would mean not doing much and having a fraternity that would be stuck in the bottom. Even a house party can cost thousands (atleast several hundred) just for alc and decorations...and good chapters hold these practically all the time.
