What would be better would be to form a local alumnae association, keep it covered by the national insurance, and try to get members from other chapters to join.
But by that same token, you could put the liability on the university if it's all university students. All you would have to do would be to say in the constitution that it's an alum association that any alum member of ABC sorority can join if they live in the area. The fact that the only reason an alumna would live there is if she's an "early" alum and going to school still is not the fault of the sorority. To deny a group like this could be trouble too - then you get into things like an alumna has to have graduated from college, has to be 22 or over, etc. I'm pretty sure we all have an alum in an alum chapter somewhere or another who didn't graduate or is younger.
