Hey Blaire! I'm jealous of everyone going to convention. It's been 10 years since the last convention I attended!
You will need to wear business attire during each day for the meetings & workshops (dress, suit, slacks, whatever). DOn't know what the scoop is on attire for alum day-but like you said, it's probably casual. You may want to start hitting up your friends for some clothes to borrow (I had to do that big-time)...you will want to wear a nice dress to dinner every evening, and plan to wear a formal of some sort to the installation banquet. I don't think council will wear formal, formals every night, but they will most likely dress extra nicely. They will be in floor length gowns for the installation-you can bet on that. You should get detailed information in plenty of time to plan your wardrobe, though.
As for initiation, the initiate is always a surprise, and I wouldn't characterize them as famous--rather "special." The year I went we initiated a legacy of one of the Founders...and that was very cool. Usually it is someone who means alot to the sorority b/c of their relationship to someone, or their activities in related organizations (often speech/hearing impaired supporters). The last "famous" alum initiate that I know of was of course, Florence Henderson in the mid-80's.
Tracy is going and can probably give better details than I--I've been ignoring the buzz on Surfing Sisters b/c it makes me too sad to think that all my surfing friends will be there and I wont. *sob*
Hope you have a great time! Enjoy Oxford-it is a really charming town and Miami U is beautiful.
