When I was a collegian in my local sorority, we had a problem with sisters talking during chapter meetings. It made chapter run longer than it needed to and nobody could hear the business that was being discussed because of all of the giggling/chitchat. Sisters tended to sit in in the same groups of friends each week. Our Parliamentarian (it was her job to keep order during meetings/observe Robert's Rules/etc) solved the problem with a seating chart. She put each sister's name on an index card and put the cards on seats prior to each chapter meeting. It kept everyone quiet because it broke up the groups of friends. The Parliamentarian kept the seating chart interesting by mixing it up each week.
