We had a candle pass for Pref ceremony this year that was really beautiful and we sang "Pass It On". There was a slight variation, though-we had the PNM's in front of the actives, and whoever was speaking lit their candle first. Everyone had a candle, and the active next to them lit their candle, then they lit their PNM's, then the next active's, and so on. I think much of our new Pref was borrowed from another chapter, but I don't know which. It was awesome-mingled with speaking parts, we sang "White Shining Stars" as the girls came in, "Pass It On", and then a small group of us, me included, sang "Have a Little Faith in Me", and we ended with "Little ADPi" (I plan to have a girl who can sing the melody line so that I can harmonize, or teach my honorary ADPi mom).
Some of that sounds similar to what my chapter does (or at least used to do when I was active) for preference parties. We had the speaking parts, the candle *lighting* (instead of passing the candle, we lit the candles in the circle as you described) and sang different songs, as well as reciting (and singing) the creed. I always loved preference night....why do you think I went ADPi?
