I think it is when you mention "suggest" that some of us are worried you might get stuck with a tab you don't want/can't afford. As long as the $18 lunch part is not optional (clearly specified on the rsvp), then no problem. Donations can be an additional line item on the registration form (in case they cannot attend).
Are alums so numerous that you could not call them personally to invite them? The personal touch may work wonders in both your attendence and fundraising departments.
Would suggest adding the following to pad your agenda:
Chapter song performed by the sisters
Ritual of some kind (if you have alumnae rituals, time to do one).
Ask your school's greek life advisor to speak for a few minutes about the greek scene at your school
Honor any alums who are 10-20-30 year members (if possible).
