Cookouts/picnics or some other casual event are always great choices-- just remember to give your alumni PLENTY of notice beforehand-- if possible, give a month, but definitely no less than two weeks (two weeks is a 'local alumni only' opportunity event in most cases).
Perhaps designate a specific weekend every year that becomes a chapter heritage weekend-- similar to whatever you do for Founders Day, but make it a weekend specifically to share chapter-only history. That way your actives can learn about what the chapter was like when alumni were actives. Things do change... quickly! If it's held the same weekend every year as part of your normal sorority activities, then it's more likely to stick.
