I think the reason behind the larger attendance at the 3rd degree would be a result of the "raising" of the brother. The other possibility is the participation of the members in the degree. I myself enjoy all three, but I really enjoy giving the 1st degree. I enjoy being the master with their first experience in freemasonry.
