It is not an easy task you have in front of you. While your IHQ may have a list, it is only as good as those who update it. This also goes for your Chapter.
I have been doing this for @ 11 years to try and build up a email listing and our of 600+, I have gotten @ 200.
What I have tried to do is when I send an email out is ask if they know of any I do not have or when we have two major events, usually home coming or Founders day is put a pad out to get emails. I also ask them to update with IHQ so that eventually maybe each chapter can get them in the future.
I have finally gotten some who will now let me know if they have changed or a Brother who keeps in touch with a Brother will give a new one to me!
It is a long process and takes time and someone with heart who will keep plugging along!
Keep working at it and you will find some pluses in the future! The very best of luck!!!!
