The one thing the GF would be able to help with is to pull any documents together about your chapter. They did that for us, and we got a random assortment of letters and chapter visit reports, along with some of the early documentation of our founding. Wasn't as much as I thought it might be, and a lot of it was hard to put into context, as far as what items were being discussed. That made it confusing and difficult to tell if there was anything significant going on.
Also, the GF would have all the issues of The Beta Theta Pi, so you could see what all was sent in by the chapter itself in the chapter reports.
The other thing, is see if you can get access to any old yearbooks from your University. I know here that Greek Affairs has a lot of yearbooks through the years (even though one is no longer published). Maybe the library or - if your school still publishes one - the yearbook or newspaper office might have copies.
There's likely to be an absolute ton of information out there, so it's going be a monumental effort to get one organized, but a task that will probably be far more rewarding than you think it will be. Good luck!
