When I was Recorder my policy is: You don't have to be here but don't whine when we do something you don't like. If you ARE here you better have a pen, paper, and not have any side conversations.
Totally gave off a feeling of serious business.

Have y'all tried a seating chart to break up the cliques? The dress code isn't a big deal. I don't know much about how things are out West, but if you say that asking for coat and tie is a dealbreaker, I'll take your word for it.
Have you talked to your chapter about how in order to get your pursuit of excellence points, everyone needs to participate? (at minimum, show up to chapter?)
ETA: I'm not trying to judge your chapter or anything.. just trying to offer perspective. I know y'all are doing just fine.
