You could start an alumnae newsletter yourself if you want. The easiest (and most cost effective) is to do one on-line. Just start with the email addresses of those you know, send them an email asking them to give you more, and before you know it, you'll have tons.
The alumnae newsletter could be mostly about the alumnae (births, weddings, ADPi-owned business, newsy items, etc.) but you could also ask the chapter to submit a little bit each time.
That way the alumnae feel they know something going on in the chapter, and they'll be more willing to help in the future if asked. It doesn't matter that you live far away- I know of a chapter in TX who has an alumna who does this and the alumna lives in Seattle. She usually sends out notices asking for news a couple weeks before the newsletter comes out.
Some chapters generate these newsletters from the collegiate alumnae-relations chair, but I think it's fine to do one on your own if your chapter isn't doing that themselves. One chapter highlights different past presidents each month- a "Where are they now?" type of thing.
I know it sounds like a lot of work, but it sounds like you're the type of person who cares about her chapter and would rather take action than just complain.
