In my chapter it was:
once around the circle for friendship,
twice for pearldrop (like lavaliering),
three for engagement,
four for marriage,
and five for pregnancy.
My understanding is that once around for friendship is so that everyone has a chance to touch the candle before the announcement, but I really like the idea of blowing out the candle for a special friendship.
Funny story about candle passing - my chapter always wondered why there was the five times around for pregnancy. None of the sisters was married, and pregnancy was almost unheard of on the campus at all. One week, we did a candle passing and people were getting really excited on round three, then a little shocked at round four, then unbelieving for round five - ~120 actives in a small space makes for some confusion. Finally, our chapter PRESIDENT "blew out" the candle and the whole chapter went crazy. Then she yells April Fool's!! It was such a funny practical joke on all of us.
