Daughter got pinned last night.
It's all been an eye-opener for me-before she joined her sorority and I found this board, my only reference for pinnings was an old "Happy Days" episode (yes, sadly I AM that old).
I'm a little surprised that comparatively speaking, her school seems to make a big freakin' "ta-do" about pinnings - which is odd since unless its a football game or a protest march they pride themselves on being laid-back about everything and I think "We will be non-traditional at all costs" is written into the school mission statement somewhere.
After reading these I was curious to hear how they did the candle pass part. For her chapter the boy buys flowers and has them sent to the back door of the house on the day of the pinning. The president puts the candle with a ribbon around it in the flowers and brings them out during dessert. They take the candle out and it goes around - girl blows it out. At least I think that's how she explained it.
On another note - I've decided after this little event - someday, if and when she gets married- she's getting a ladder and tickets to Vegas!
