Recommend focusing your "business" on a shared understanding of what "sisterhood" means to your house, and what you expected when you went through recruitment. Then focus on 1-2 things that are a stretch, but which as a house you can accomplish in a semester. A shared sense of purpose toward something that you really want can go a long way.

Are people reluctant to give their opinion because they are afraid they will be criticized? How about doing an anonymous survey with the questions you need opinions on. That way, people won't be afraid to be criticized about a "dumb answer" or if there is something they need to get out that may not be what people want to hear, they can. These should only be read by the E-board, unless there's something that the whole chapter needs to hear - then it should be read and/or typed to eliminate the chance that someone will find out who wrote it.
