My initiating chapter closed after I graduated, so I understand where you're coming from! You will definitely want to check with your inter/national headquarters about this. There is probably a specific staff member or volunteer who is in charge of extension but anyone on staff should be able to direct you to the correct person to talk with.
I know that my organization does not want alumnae to individually contact the college Panhellenic because it could reflect negatively on the inter/national organization. If multiple alumnae are contacting the college Panhellenic to ask when their chapter will be re-established, it could give a bad impression of the organization as a whole or it could lead the college Panhellenic to believe that the organization is interested in returning, when in fact that might not be the case.
Regardless of whether your initiating chapter is re-established, I highly suggest that you look into volunteer opportunities in or near the city that you live in now. I have been volunteering with my sorority for the past five years and have worked with four different chapters in my area. This has definitely helped to fill the void that was created when my initiating chapter closed.
Good luck!!
