What else can you do?

You can let go.

You can trust that your statement about having a solid foundation is true, and that the future members (with guidance from the alumni) will do what they feel is in the best interest of the group.

Then you can go to counseling and address your control issues.

If you didn’t build the group for others to take over and possibly evolve, then why DID you build it? Pride?

It is natural to be concerned with the future of your chapter, especially if you helped to start it. But it sounds like you’re taking it a bit too far. If the ideals upon which your group was built are inspiring and important enough, then THEY will survive in the group despite transient things like bylaws or membership criteria or even YOU. In the meantime, I’ll just advise you that micromanagement is never a winning strategy in life.
