At KSU it was 1st time around = lavaliered, 2nd time around = pinned, 3rd = engaged. We had a little song we sang, "Chi O, with her eyes aglow..." I forget the rest of the words. One time at formal when I was a freshman (yikes, this would be ca. Fall '90 or Spring '91!!) the guy set up the candlelight, as we called it. It went around 3 times, and then he stepped up to the circle behind his girlfriend, grabbed the candle, blew it out, and then dropped to his knee in front of everyone. Needless to say, there wasn't a dry eye in the house!!!! Oh, I remember the song, "Chi O with her eyes aglow, candle passed around, so the world will know she has a true love...wonder who she is tonight..."
