I think that no matter what you do, make sure you have your target brothers in mind. Research, think it through. Ask yourself:
"Can I reclaim a brother in his fifties with a chapter happy hour?"
"Will Brothers with children prefer weeknight chapter meetings or Saturday morning/afternoon meetings?"
"How can we attract graduates of the last decade while still retaining our chapter's flavor?"
"What type of events will draw ALL types of Brothers?"
So, I don't know....this is an ongoing issue in my chapter, and I hope we are able to reclaim all types of Brothers to create a truly intergenetational chapter.

...just my opinion, but I think any true Alpha brother is going to be reclaimed by being re-exposed to what's already in him. Once that fire is re-lit, his passions for Alpha will reignite and he'll find his place of service within the chapter. Besides, any chapter worthy of the letters should have a variety of activies/opportunities/event going on from which a brother can choose to work.
btb, contgratulations on your reactivation and I feel you, (cause the Alpha hymn is special to me) but going uhm, "all mushy" as you say ain't really part of the deal.
(if ya gots to get emotional, take it the backroom somewhere!)
