We have rush/recuitment retreat, and a sisterhood retreat and an officer retreat.

We like retreat too... I used to work for a co-ed company that used retreat for our Student Leader retreat where all of us in the organization who were in charge of various departments through our volunteer work with the organization, were taken out to DC for a retreat. It really felt like a "retreat" though since only 1 or 2 of the 50 or so of us there were actually from DC. We had people from all over the US at the retreat.
I don't know if any of these help, but for retreat on Thesaurus.com I came up with:
