It seems to me that there are a couple of issues here. First, assuming an explanation is "owed," to whom is it owed? The actives of the chapter? Actively involved alumni of the chapter? All alumni of the chapter? The fraternity at large? Or does it vary with the circumstances?
And second, what form does the explanation take? Does it have to be a letter to chapter alumni? Does an announcement on the fraternity website or the fraternity magazine, with an assumption that involved members will see that, suffice?
And third, you keep talking about what your HQ owes you. What about what you owe your fraternity and your chapter? In your own words, "us alumni, myself included, are all talk and no action." Some might say that doesn't put you in the best position to complain.
In any event, if this has been bothering you for 10 years, I'd say it's time to move on. You say you've responded to requests for donations, but ask why you should now. It sounds like you've known for years the chapter was closed. Have you contributed in the last 10 years since the chapter was closed? If you have, then what has changed now? If you haven't, then you really can't complain for not being kept in the loop. Regardless, either do something constructive about the situation or let it go.
