12 Awesome Sorority Retreat Ideas (2024)

4. Host a pumpkin spice fest

Do your sisters love pumpkin spice lattes as much as you do? Then host a sorority retreat that celebrates all things pumpkin for them! Brew up DIY pumpkin spice lattes and bake pumpkin sweets for a delicious touch.

Start by renting this downtown rustic Japanese-inspired cafe in San Francisco. It has space for 25 guests and provides you with barista service and a dining menu.

To add a competitive edge, host a jack-o-lantern carving contest, or learn how to sculpt 3D pumpkins together to bring out your artistic side. It’s a fabulous sorority retreat idea to celebrate the fall season! 

5. Make a splash at a pool party

Looking for the perfect excuse to show off your new swimsuits for Instagram? Take your sisters out to the pool and make a splash together before the school year starts! You can have a ton of fun swimming, lounging, and chatting by the waterside together. Suppose your sorority house doesn’t have a water feature, then no worries.

Just book a private pool on Peerspace. One of our favorites for a sorority retreat is this private pool house paradise in Atlanta, GA. It provides you with gorgeous indoor and outdoor spaces that include a heated saltwater pool, a Jacuzzi, a barbecue grill, a sound system, and a lounge. In other words: heaven on earth!

6. Mosey over to a ranch

Are you looking for sorority retreat ideas that indulge your inner horse girl? Then head to a horse ranch in your area and go out for a ride with your sisters! Getting to explore the great outdoors on horseback is a fun adventure perfect for those who love nature and animals. It’s also an excellent excuse to put on some cowboy boots and snap some gorgeous Instagram pics. 

For the largest collection of ranch spaces that you can rent by the hour, you know that Peerspace has you covered!

7. Can’t be in the same spot? Host a virtual retreat

Can’t get the whole group together for an in-person retreat? No worries, you can still hold a memorable sorority retreat thanks to the magic of the internet!

Fire up Zoom or Facetime to play some team-building games or stream a movie together. After all, you don’t have to be in the same room to celebrate the joys of Greek life!

8. Host a sisterhood staycation

Who says you need to get away to host a retreat? Instead of hitting the road, host your annual retreat right from the comfort of your own sorority house. Hang out with your sisters in your PJs, watch Netflix, and try out some DIY face masks.

Looking for a home away from home? Then head to Peerspace to book your own private villa. For instance, this Trousdale estate in Los Angeles is a perfect option for dinner parties, swims, and viewing the expansive LA skyline from the outdoor deck.

9. Find your center at a yoga retreat

Yoga is an excellent way to relax and find your center. Doing it as a group with your sisters is a beautiful way to relax before the school year starts. Test your balance and flexibility skills as you do your best impression of a pretzel with your besties. Even if you’re not an expert yogi, it’s sure to bring out some fun laughs!

You can also follow YouTube tutorials and hire a private, well-equipped yoga studio rental through Peerspace just for the occasion. 

One of our favorites is this gorgeous yoga studio and event space in Austin, TX. It has both indoor and outdoor yoga space, yoga equipment, a sound system, dried floral arrangements, and vintage rugs. A Peerspace reviewer shared their thoughts on their experience here thusly: “This space was perfect for my event and I loved how the host was so accommodating before and during my event.”
