Agree with all of those who say involve your HQ; also get the local alums involved. Depending on why your fraternity left campus may present issues on whether alums want to be involved, could be a problem. As for "powerhouse" fraternities at TheOSU...even the mighty fall. Some of the largest, and perceived to be strongest, chapters, have lost their charter since I was there in the 80s (hazing, alcohol violations, etc). Many have returned; some strong, and some struggling.

One thing you will need to keep in mind, two fraternities are recolonizing very soon so you are competing for the next "new thing". I believe Phi Tau still has their house, which is in prime real estate territory, and one of their alums works for the university and is very active on campus (he is the AEPhi faculty advisor). Even though ZBT lost their house (albeit the crest is still in the masonry), they have a lot of alumnae in the Columbus area.

I'm not sure what kind of numbers have been required of your chapter. As you know, fraternities range from 100+ to less than 10 on campus and there is everything in between.
