We had a Masquerade theme. I wrote a song which I will e-mail you if you like this idea. (If I can find it.) We had name tags that looked like pretty masquerade masks. We decorated the room to make it look like a ball. After we served food and the rushees were sitting, we sang. It was successful.
Another theme was Grease. Actually, it was more the 1950's. We wore poodle skirts and leather jackets and sang songs and cheered. It sounds similar to your Betty theme in terms of the Sandy makeover. We sang "When I Came to College" that Jilly posted.
Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...Oompa Loompas and all. I think DPhiE was the Golden Ticket. I think there is a "DPhiE Can" song using the "Candyman Can" song. Basically, you need a lot of candy for this party.
DTV like MTV. Things have changed on MTV since I rushed, so be creative.
I still like the song "We are D Phi E, I got all my sisters with me" from "We are Family."
The movie The Little Mermaid. Can you tell I like movies? Actually, watching any of these movies can be a sisterhood retreat event.
It has been a while since I rushed so maybe you should contact individual chapters. That way you can get some new ideas and update the rush and song book for your colony and DPhiE National. I always found brainstorming to be very helpful so who knows what great ideas you might come up with on your retreat. Good Luck!
