You are the Prez, but that doesn't mean everything falls on your shoulders!

You should be using parliamentary procedure at meetings and have a parliamentarian who keeps things under control. No one should be interrupted while they are talking in meeting (I'm assuming this is what you mean). If the parliamentarian can't handle this duty, she needs a refresher course in her duties.

As for sisters who are acting inappropriately, or just being plain pains in the butt, do you have a standards board? It should be made up of a variety of sisters. They are the ones who should take care of people who are doing things like this - not the president.

Don't feel that you have to handle everything - you should have an exec board to help you. A prez who takes on everything herself, no matter how well meaning, will not be effective. It sounds like this is what you are doing - I don't mean to be critical, but a sisterhood is a democracy. One person can't bear the responsibility for it.
