This!
Also, for AST, we're actually only required to have 3 business meetings each month. So essentially, there are 3 meetings and then a "break", and then another 3 meetings, and so on. Of course, it doesn't always run like clockwork, and you could have a week off, 6 meetings in a row, then another week off; it all depended on the time of year and what needed to get done. However, sisters still needed to be excused from time to time. Check to see what your sorority's policy is regarding meeting requirements - my chapter didn't know about ours until well after I joined!
When I was active, we had a meeting every week anyway. Again, being in a small chapter basically required it. But every so often, we would have a "paper meeting" (although I'm still not sure why they're called that): we would start the meeting as usual, but then someone would vote to suspend Robert's Rules, and it would basically just be a quick, casual meeting where anyone who had something to discuss would raise their hand and throw out what they needed to say. It was a way to get a few minor things done, and then we'd sometimes have a casual sisterhood event afterward.
