Nice to have you guys.  I just started up a team at Tufts last year. 
As far as I know, the tournaments announced so far are in the greater
Boston area are at Brandeis, Oct. 2nd, MIT Oct. 23rd and Brandeis Nov.
5th.  Check the calendar, and the messages, as they're usually posted
here.  As for greater advice:

Advertise.  I guarantee that there are NE students who did trivia in
high school and would do it again in college, if they are aware of it.

Google "Stanford Quiz Bowl Archives" for all the old questions you
could ever want.  There are also some in the files section of this site.

Check out your school's system for starting and funding new clubs, and
get what you can for food at meetings, a buzzer system and
tournaments, although most everyone is generous about that sort of
thing with teams that are new.

Good luck, let me know if there's anything else you need.
