This will be my third convention, and other than ritual on such a grand scale, my favorite part of convention is Candlelighting! If you don't know what that is, a delegate from each collegiate chapter (or an alum representing closed chapters) comes forward in order of charter date and lights a candle then recites her chapter name and submotto. This is done in robes and is very formal. It's open to the public. When I was a collegian, I attended the Scottsdale Convention in 1995. Candlelighting was held outside against a backdrop of the Camelback Mountain. It was absolutely beautiful!
Question: If there was one question you could ask our founders, what would it be?
