The college requires that the chapter contribute to the building of a new house or building. So I am just looking into ways of starting this fund.

To be truthful, you have chosen a tough road to travel. Just 10 years old and with little Alum backing as GTown is not that big a school.
You may actually be a little premature in hoping for this.
If the current chapter house is workable, it may be better to try to build Alum participation and chapter numbers for down the road first.
My Chapter is 41 years old and rented our first two houses before we bought the first, then bought a small house behind us to give us a 3 lot corner.
We just built a new house after these long years with @ 600 + members.
But remember, out of these 600 + njhumbers, some die, some graduatte and do not care any more so it usually boils down to the 10% doing the work, time and money.
I suggest that you concentrate on more current things.
Keep the house nice and clean, fill the house and make a bank roll for later but keep the organization very solvent, do not over expand yourselves.
