If you are a member of a national organization, there are regional advisors, CDC's or travelling consultants who are available for consultation. If there is a neighboring chapter with a full advisory board, perhaps you can consult with one or more of them. Collegians sometimes hesitate to involve these resources, but that is what they are for and they have usually heard and experienced a lot and have a lot of wisdom (or at least good stories) to share.
Executive council is a stressful experience sometimes, no getting around it. I was a chapter advisor for a few years, and saw how difficult their role is (much more difficult than when I was an active.) I am sorry you are having a rough time, and hope the new year and a new member group will help you. Reach out to the new members and the younger, drama-free group. There are probably a lot more members who are sick of the drama than you know about. Drama people are loud and noticable. People who don't approve, often keep silent. Don't worry if the younger members seem to 'look up to you" or take you seriously. That can be a good thing!
