You should concentrate your efforts in the areas near your active chapters, especially in nearby urban areas since that is where new graduates migrate hen they join the workforce. Establish some sort of new "welcome to the alumnae world" tradition with the targeted active chapter and set the expectation that they will join the local alumnae association as soon as they graduate. Within a couple of years, you should have a group of recent alumnae to form the core group, and you can build from there, inviting prior graduates to get involved.
