You realllllllly need to try to have it off-site. That alone will create a better mood.

Try to find a book of icebreakers and team building activities at a bookstore or online.

And what is the point of the retreat? Sisterhood? Rush preparation? How many members are we talking about? A chapter I advised had a really great retreat with about 20 girls at a beach house. It would be tougher with larger numbers.

Ok, go to a retreat center. They're cabins with bunkbeds and a big open meeting room or two for you to use. Do fun bonding activities and serious bonding ones. Playing "all my sisters who" is fun. Playing "the newlywed game" with bigs and littles is fun. Having the whole chapter (try to ) learn a dance that you do at recruitment is fun. Bonfires, fun.

Candlepasses, serious bonding. writing something that you're ready to get rid of on a piece of paper and throwing it into the fire is serious bonding.

(AND STOP POSTING THIS EVERYWHERE. )
