Yep.

Back in the day when my chapter was a 12-man colony, we still voted and everything. Basically all of the officers were voted in by acclimation, but we still had democratic process. That's a good thing.

@ OP: Also, if you haven't already, pick up a copy of Robert's Rules of Order. Read the book, understand the rules, run your meetings with them. You need structure and process as part of your meetings and you can do a lot worse than Robert's Rules.
