I don't know if any of these would work for your chapter but here's some things we did:
Dinner-we always had dinner beforehand as a chapter (paid for with our dues) so at least everyone wasn't hungry!
Joke basket-passed around during meeting, at the end the pres would read them, kept them clean though
You Rock award- given to a sister who had done a wonderful job at something
support bra- for a sister who was working on something hard that week or going through a tough time
friendship journal-written in every week given to a "special" sister, it was read to the chapter
Happy Hoots- the mailbox was passed around during meeting, sisters could put messages in it for other sisters
games-we usually played some sort of game at least once a month
Posters- sisters would make them pertaining to whatever they were talking about. at least it gave us something to look at
email- we set up an email account where it was easy to email all the members, helped keep the little announcements to a minimum and a great way to remind people of stuff they may have missed during meeting.
informal meeting-almost all of our meetings were formal, we usually had at least one a semester that was informal
None of these are big or elaborate but they helped to break up the monotony of everyone giving their weekly reports and gave us a little something to look foward to. Good luck with ugly t-shirt night!!
