Have you tried to establish a Alum Data Base for e-m contacts?
Some might be butt heads, but there are others that want to do it!!!

Yep, Lenoxxx seems to bleed purple, green, and gold!
In regards to Tom's comments about "buttheads"...yeah, you'll find some...maybe burned out on the whole deal. We've had a few. Some were not keen on LXA in general (meaning HQ), feeling they had gotten a "raw deal" when the chapter was originally closed, and, maybe to a certain extent, they did. But, once the colony gets rolling - these are the kind of alumni to bring to Ritual - that usually helps mend their ways, if you know what I mean!
Even if certain alums are not at all interested...stay in touch with them. Consistency is key, and that could be another reason they haven't been involved or burned out. I know for a time, all I ever received were mailings from nationals or local chapters seeking donations. I was unemployed. I still got requests to donate. Not to participate, but to donate. I would rather have been solicited for the latter, and eventually was, and became a very active alumni volunteer, to this very day.
Hope this rant helps.
