Ladygreek's post is fitting (our Founders and single-letter chapter members started the initial IOTA alumni chapters).

I would start by assessing interest in the grad./alumni chapters by speaking to alumni members of your organization about their desire to affiliate past the undergraduate level.

As for the further steps, you would probably need to (not in this order per se):

1. Establish a director/liaison for alumni affairs.
2. Develop a structure for involvement (ie: do these chapters serve as mentors to undergrads? how exactly do they do so? will there be alumni membership available to non-members or will alumni chapter members come from matriculating undergraduate members?).
3. Create the appropriate language and guidelines to be placed in your constitution, bylaws, and operating manuals.

Good luck.
