I would also like to add, one thing that I started the year I was President of my collegiate chapter was "Pass the Gavel". We sat in a huge circle and passed the gavel to each sister. EVERYONE had a chance to speak if they wanted to and they could say ANYTHING they wanted. Anything that was said in the room STAYED in the room. If anything was found otherwise, there was severe disciplinary action taken.
As I mentioned above, as President, you will hear EVERYTHING. A lot of times, what you hear are several sides to the same story. You learn how to mediate pretty quickly. Passing the Gavel was one way to get these things out in the open and resoleved before there were any further hurt feelings.
I am happy to know that this tradition of Passing the Gavel is STILL being done in my chapter (I won't even tell you how many years that it has been). After our Pass the Gavel Meeting (sometimes it could last a couple of hours), our chapter was always a lot closer and we were all able to see the other person's side of the story.
