Definitely this. Sorry if I in any way implied this.

Ha, yea.. I just didn't want the OP to get the wrong idea! :)

Same here. :-)

My husband never joined a fraternity, but at some point while we were dating, he learned about the traditions of lavaliering and pinning. We had been dating for a few months when he presented me with a little heart-shaped pendant and told me that, since he was not a member of a fraternity and hence couldn't give me a fraternity lavalier, this pendant was my lavalier - he'd given me his heart <insert sap here>. My chapter treated it like any other lavaliering.

To the OP, my suggestion is to do something similar. What jewelry would your boyfriend wear? Maybe cuff links with your sorority's symbol?

One of my sisters lavaliered her non-Greek boyfriend. However, he was around more and at more events than many sisters were. :) I don't think this would have gone over as well with just Joe Shmo Random Boyfriend.

If he isn't friends with all your sisters as well as being your boyfriend, I would skip it. Like Titchou said, guys just don't think that way.

The practice of a boyfriend giving a girl his fraternity letters is called lavaliering. It is typically a serious thing. On many campuses it is considered pre-engagement. It is not often reciprocated by the girl.

As far your situation goes, I mean, if you really feel you have to do it, you could possibly give him a lavaliere on like a leather bracelet or something, however, I personally wouldn't recommend it.

Also, it was hardly necessary to create two threads asking the same question.

This thread brought to mind this other thread where pretty much the same question -- also involving AXiD -- was asked. It's a very short thread (only 15 posts), but the last response may be worth a look.
