This would be a way to show that these are the kinds of things we can talk about as sisters. My theory is that if we take care of our sisters and our sisterhood, everything else will fall into place--grades, reputation, etc. Are there any more activities like this that would really help us build our already wonderful sisterhood?

We had the "cross the line" type of discussions at our retreats. Chapters don't tend to be a time when everyone's ok with doing that.
We did a gavel pass regularly that was simply a time to say anything you wanted, but it was always good. I do recommend that you use something like a suggestion box because people may not feel like they can speak up honestly about issues they're having. But as president, letting everyone know they can approach you with issues is a good thing. At the same time, be willing to delegate those issues when appropriate. You can't fix everything.
