You've got a couple of resources for locating your alumni:
The National Office can send you a list of all the Brothers of your chapter.
As for addresses, the National Office will have current addresses for life
members and some additional alumni. However, your best resource for current
contact information is your school's alumni association. Most schools are
usually willing to help student organizations keep in contact with their
alumni. The university alumni association may even be willing to assist
your efforts by picking up some mailing costs or including an announcement
for you in the university's alumni newsletter. (Anything that causes alumni
to think about the school might help the school's fundraising efforts :-))
