You can get a mailing list by geographic areas from HQ to help in this type of effort - UNC and Colorado State had a wide variety of alumni involvement from a variety of chapters. Usually, the chapter (or alumni org) needs to reach out to these alums....some might not even be aware a chapter is relatively nearby, and simply inviting them can open up the old purple, green, and gold memory banks and bring them in.
I wouldn't drop anyone from the mailing list for two or three cycles - we all know how life can get for us after college, and sometimes the time isn't right the first one or two mailings, but things do have a way of changing for alums over time.
