Simple practicality. There are only 100 current members of the Senate, there are well over 400 members in the house. Because of this, the Senate can be conducted more informally because there are less people there, compared to the over 400 members of the House where rules are more strict because there are a lot more people making structured debate and formality needed to prevent chaos.
