It's great that you've kept such good track of your alumnae through the years! It will make your task so much easier.
Are you looking to start a chapter association, something to unite only those sisters from a single collegiate chapter? Or, are you looking to start an alumnae chapter for your local alumnae? There's a difference.
It is very difficult to have a single active alumnae chapter if the members are living all over the country. Most alumnae chapters I am familiar with are geographically based, not chapter based. That means that you can have a 'College Town' Alumnae Chapter, and an Atlanta Alumnae Chapter, a NYC Alumnae Chapter, and so on. If there are enough women in a particular city/geographic area, that makes it easier to gauge demand and help organize the efforts.
FYI--my sorority has something for those alumnae sisters who do not live near another alumnae chapter. For a small annual fee, they receive a listing of other alumnae living close to them, newsletters throughout the year and other little goodies. This may be something your sorority may wish to consider in lieu of a traditional alumnae chapter, especially if everyone lives so far apart. News can be spread, informal activities can be planned between local sisters, and so on.
