goodness! we have had the SAME issues as you have had with your chapter - do you have a CKA? We (the CKA & I) - i am an advisor too made up a 'recruitment policy' that we presented to the chapter, voted on, but haven't yet put in in our local constitution. It gives the sisters incentives to bring out PNM's... like $ off dues.
Yeah! J-Board is my topic!! haha The DRAMA and talking is another problem & I think that happens to all chapters also. I would suggest those to be J-Board issues, NOT E-Board issues, they have enough going on. It also depends on the drama & what it is... please PM me if you have any questions, or anyone that reads this. I will try to help in anyway possible.
kisses! C
