Sometimes "being involved" in the highest levels of a fraternal organization means paying a monetary price, in the form of yearly mandatory personal contributions to each of the philanthropic arms of an organization. This mandatory financial outlay can discourage and detract otherwise highly involved, qualified and capable fraternal members who desire higher office within their org but lack the financial means to be eligible.
