Pinning circle songs

[SigmaGirl06]

Hey everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has any good pinning circle songs because it seems like that at my chapter they have been looked past and forgotten and haven't really been passed down from class to class. Its gotten to the point that now the seniors don't even know any to teach the younger members. We don't have pinning circles that often but we just had one and noone knew what to sing-- it was horrible i felt bad for the girl-- that is special. So if you guys have anything special you do please share

[SKLaw]

We always sang:
God gave the wise men their wisdom
and to the poets their dreams,
To father and mother their love for each other
But He left me out so it seems.
I went around broken-hearted,
Thinking life was an empty despair
But when God gave me you, it was then that I knew
He had given me more than my share.

we sing pass it on

[SigKapKatzue]

we sing pass it on too, but there's another verse.

[SigkapAlumWSU]

We sing Pass It On as well. I thought that all SK chapters did that, but maybe there's chapter traditions everywhere.

And speakign of pinnings and such, we just had an engagement last night, so we got to do a candle passing! I'm so excited. I love anything that lets us do a candle passing, but pinnings are my favorite, just because I love to see what the guys will do!

[sueali]

I know there's another verse, that's why I said it starts.

We have a candle pass for pinnings also, we have never done anything else (guys). I'd love to hear what you do because I've heard stories of other sororities but not ours, maybe because we don't have a house.

[SigKapKatzue]

Can I ask what a pinning is? We certainly don't have them!!!

We have candlepasses for pearlings, engagements and lavaliering. I got pearled and it was just beautiful. I got peraled because my boyfriend is an independant and since he couldn't lavaliere me, he pearled me. It means the equivalent though :-)

I love my boyfriend when he did it because he really loves my sisters and accepts what they mean to me and thinks the world of them, even though he's not into the greek thing.

I suppose I'm lucky.

A pinning is when a fraternity man gives his serious girlfirend his pin or badge, it's usually a sweetheart badge (which is a smaller version the fraternity badge) I have only seen one pinning and it was from Pike. This is a very big thing for a guy to pin a girl, it's like lavalierring but at a much more serious level.

[SigKapKatzue]

That sounds sweet. Do many school's do it?

Do other schools pearl?

[sueali]

We don't pearl I had never heard of it until you brought it up. My fiance is a GDI and I would have loved to know about it, but i got my candle pass for my engagement. I think pinning falls more on the fraternity and whether they do it.

[UFSigKap]

We sing Pass It on and The Road.

Also, my chapter does candle lightings for lavaliering, pinning/promise ring and engagement.

I was thrilled when I got my candle lighting after my boyfriend lavaliered me. When I blew out the candle about 25 girls rushed to hug me before I could even get my story out. I really surprised everyone.

We do not pearl either. It just is not tradition to do that here.

[BaylorBean]

We sing "The Road" which I think is one of the most beautiful songs.

I was so excited when I got my candle lighting too. I thought I had done a good job keeping it a secret (my boyfriend even took me out of town for the weekend so I wouldn't blab it to everyone) but all my sisters had been expecting it for so long that nobody was surprised. It was still wonderful to do it though.

I have never heard of pearling. That is a good idea though.

[SigKapKatzue]

I've never heard of the Road.

[sueali]

Neither have I could you post the words or PM.

We do a candle pass for either lavilers, boyfriend lavilers, engagement, or being pregnant. We sing a song to "I can't help falling in love with you". Its really Sweet. If you want the lyrics, let me know
