We just had a workshop on this at the APO national convention.
Assuming you have the initiation information for the members, you could always ask the women you HAVE found if they happen to know where Sister So-and-So is now.
Example. You track down Sister Jane Doe and know she's from the Fall 81 pledge class. You can't find Sister Sarah Smith from the same pledge class. So.... ask Jane Doe! Jane may be able to give you some clues like her husband's name, last known hometown, etc.
There are also those free internet phone books (and of course I have forgotten the names of them, but zabasearch may be one). Take a weekend and call people you THINK may be your sisters based on the research you did. (Your sorority database, yearbooks, school alumni database, asking pledge sisters, then using zabasearch)
It could be a lot of work, and you might get some people who either are the wrong person or don't want to be contacted. Just be sure to identify yourself FIRST and state up front that you're updating your records and would like to send a newsletter or something.
Good luck!
