Well there is an organization on my campus where the alumni throw a big BBQ family type thing every year, that the actives take no part in planning. Obviously the actives plan on-campus events and anniversaries but since our alumni do NOTHING as it is and only complain about how they have families now that maybe they should plan a big family get together.

Then if they want to have that sort of function, that's up to THEM to plan it. It has nothing to do with the active chapter.

If they're all in Babyland and all they care about is diapers and strained peaches, let them be there for a while, because the last thing I'm sure you guys (collegians that is) want to hear about is teething issues. Plan a yearly reception at Homecoming, keep them involved with a listserv or Facebook group so they know what's happening in the ACTIVE CHAPTER, but don't break your backs if they aren't going to do shit for you. It's so much easier to keep in touch nowadays that the only way to not find someone is if they don't want to be found.
