Presumably because it's something you enjoy doing. All of these things take up time and end once college is over but they are still activities that provide enjoyment and instill a lot of valuable life lessons that will serve them in the future.
I get your point, but this one doesn’t end once college is over. For about 60%, they view it as a thing they did in college, but even those women recognize that you are a member for life, and can engage with other members of their sorority affiliation at any time—-whether they know them or not (moving to a new city, job searching, mentoring as an alumna volunteer with other chapters) The activities you do within in it and the people you see who are your sisters change after college, but every sorority offers volunteer engagement, mentoring and leadership opportunities, board service opportunities, professional networking events, bi-annual conventions, and philanthropic engagement that are available to members for their entire lives.
