If you could generate a monthly gathering for all KΣ alums, and have each month focus on a specific chapter that is well represented here, that would be a start.
Eventually, that could evolve into a "lodge", which could then become a (resident) house. Lots of work, but there are visionary KappaSigs here who could pull it off. This is the golden time to do it, lots of greeks who joined in the sixties (before greeklife declined in the seventies) are retiring, and are selling their big homes and moving to smaller places.

While this is a good way to try and get local alumni involved, I'm not so sure how this would lead to housing or getting a house. The alumni might be selling big homes and moving to smaller places, but how many alumni live near the school? Having a house/lodge 10 miles away isn't exactly useful for your chapter. Those local alumni who are involved are also probably donating money to their 'home' chapters.
