Networking Advice

Been sending out coffee chat emails to alumni from my university (supposedly a target/T10) to learn more about different groups and start building a network. Disappointingly, I've only gotten around 3 responses out of 25+ emails, which seems a bit rough to me.

I'm sending personalized emails mainly Tuesday-Thursday and am focusing on alumni who were in the same clubs since it's still a little early. 

Any advice or insight into what's going on would be greatly appreciated.
