Lavaliering your girl is considered SERIOUS business for most fraternities. For some, it is considered to be equivalent to a pre-engagement type of thing. it differs from group to group. Many Fraternity men plan to surprise their girlfriends with a Valentine's Day gift that will last longer than a dozen roses. Lavaliering, a tradition where a member of a fraternity gives his girlfriend a charm with his chapter's letters, is common at college campuses. Fraternity members lavaliere their girlfriends as a sign of respect.
Fraternity letters are very important to its members because the letters typically represent a bond among the brothers.
Lavaliering is a sign of dedication to someone. Another way fraternity members can honor their girlfriends is by pinning them with their letters. Pinning is more serious than lavaliering and can be considered a step before engagement.
Men who aren't in fraternities can give their sorority girlfriends pearls, which is comparable to lavaliering.
In some sororities, when a sorority member is pearled, lavaliered or pinned, she gets her own ceremony called a pinning circle.  |
