Congratulations! What fraternity is your boyfriend in?
In our chapter we always held a candlelight for those sisters who were either lavaliered, pearled, or engaged. Usually, the big or lil sis of the person being honored would buy/decorate a pretty candle, which they would give to our president and tell her about the lavaliering. After chapter, the president would announce we were having a candlelight, and we'd all stand in a circle. We would sing "It Only Takes Spark" and pass the candle around. The first pass would be for sisterhood. The next time the candle got to the president, she would say "Lavalier" or "Engagement" and start passing again. When it got around to the sister who got lavaliered, she would blow the candle out.
I don't know if this is something you would do at a public event. We just usually did it as a way to suprise the chapter that someone got lavaliered/engaged.
