Ok, I see. I think the retreats are a good idea, but will only work if your alums live relatively close. Does your organization have national or regional conventions? If so, ask the coordinator(s) to add an "alumni meeting" so you all can hammer out ideas.
One idea for philanthropy: Say, for example, your philanthropy is Relay for Life. You can set up a team and send a message out to your sisters to get them to donate and participate.
You (or the chapter) could also try to set up a monthly/semi-annual/etc barbecue or cookout. Host it around the same time (ex. first Friday of each month) and be sure to let everyone know they're invited to attend. My local alumni association does this, and no one EVER passes up a chance for free food LOL
Hope this helps...
