Every chapter has its low points.

Our chapter has a "Roses and Thorns" meeting once a month. You can always say a "rose" (positive comment), but if you say a "thorn" (negative comment) then you must have a "rose" too. If someone says a "thorn," it can be opened up for discussion but limited to usually 3-5 responses. Sometimes it can seem like a big b*tch session, but it helps to get some of the complaints out in the open.
