Pearls
While I was president at Kappa Chi, we started the tradition of sisters decorating their own candles. Whom ever was having the candle lighting would put the candle on the mantle to let the chapter know there would be a candle passing and we'd sing "There's an AOII who's smiling".
Round one: Friendship (we don't know what it was for, I think it's just an excuse to sing the song once through before the candle gets blown out.
Round two: Lavaliere (drop letters) or pearls. See below
Round three: Promised
Round Four: Engaged
Round Five: Pregnant (only alumna, and it never happened while I was in the chapter)
Explanation of pearls or lavaliere.
One sister's boyfriend wasn't greek and he wanted to give her the equivalent to drop letters. So, instead of giving a lavaliere, we thought pearls would be a good equivalent. Hopefully it's a tradition that will last!
