Frank,

Your first step should be to identify the members in your immediate area and plan a kick-off event so that everyone gathers together, etc. Then, select officers or a re-org committee to get the organization underway. Send out mailings to all brothers in the country, telling them about the exciting news of your fraternity reorganization and the formation of an active alumni association. Plan (with the collegiate chapter) a homecoming weekend and invite all alumni and their guests. Make it simple, maybe just a pre-game BBQ and a brunch the next morning. Collect dues, ask for donations to help get the college chapter off the ground, etc.

Once things are rolling, elect officers, set up a constituion and by-laws, an organizational structure, goals, etc. Plan regular events for local alumni and one big 'reunion' event each year, pulling in alumni from all over the country. Work with other chapters in the state to host a State Meeting. Provide advisors to the college chapter, help secure funding for housing, etc.

The possibilities are limitless!
