You don't mention what school you attend, but you are correct -- you would need to start by contacting the Alpha Gamma Headquarters. (Information is on the website at
www.alphagammadelta.org)
There are many reasons why a chapter that is resolved does not reopen. It may be housing--a chapter has to be able to have quarters (whether a lodge, suite, or full-fledged residence) comparable to the other NPC groups on the campus. It may be the Greek system at that school. It may also be the alumnae -- in some college towns there just aren't enough alumnae to do the work, or they got burned out during the chapter's decline.
Neither AGD nor its sister NPC groups charters chapters lightly, nor do they close chapters unless they've done all they can to keep them open.
That said, how wonderful that you'd like to plant new red and buff roses on your campus! (The AGD flower.) I hope your efforts are successful. But if they aren't--why not go through rush and pledge? I'd rather have a woman have the benefit of Greek life than hold out for any one NPC group and never pledge.
