I remember one pref we did that did not use candles. Each of our family trees had picked a specific flower (Not the pink carnation) and the girl we were pref-ing was given the flower of the family tree of the sister she was talking to. Each family tree made it's way to a large vase, and everyone added their family tree flowers, creating a large and beautiful bouquet. Then the president added one single pink carnation to signify the flower that brings us all together. After Pref night was over, we bundled the flowers up and brought them to a nursing home nearby. It's a lovely and fragrant idea that is unique and benefits ohters as well.
