I would love to hear more recruitment ideas to get more younger alumnae involved in my chapter.

I recommend creating an informal network of younger members and for you all to join committees within your larger alumnae chapter if you all have not already done so. This makes sure that you all are visible within your chapter and you can impact the chapter's program ideas. Then take that within-chapter visibility to the community.
For instance, those of us who crossed within the past 2-15 years in my chapter are involved in various committees and make sure that our voice is heard within the chapter. Then we make sure that we are visible at the programs and events the chapter sponsors. This includes attending other organizations' social events that the older Sorors aren't interested in patroning. So people who care know that there are members in their late 20s and early 30s in the chapter, in addition to older Sorors. This often gets other late 20s and early 30s Deltas interested in joining the alumnae chapter. They come talk to us, we keep in contact with them and invite them to community and social events, then they are soon under our spell.
