Wow, that's a horrible story!
When you approach alumnae, I would go in with a very clear plan. We've done some re-decorating of our chapter house and one of the biggest issues has been people not knowing where the money is going. We are all young, the chapter is only 6 yrs old, so we just aren't paid enough yet to throw tons of money away. I would challenge the actives to hold a fundraiser and then challenge the alumnae to match that amount. Make both sides work for something they have in common.
We did a great fundraiser where we did final-grams for students that their parents bought. It went great and they ususally make a couple thousand (a lot of money to a small chapter) some goes to convention and the rest a project. Something like that might work.
Good Luck rebuilding!
