You can only lavaliere one person, or at least in every chapter that I've ever known of.

I do think that it can lead to a lot of insecurity (or even false security) among young women about their relationships. I know of chapters where it was almost a competition to see who was going to get lavaliered first and girls were upset when a friend who hadn't been in a relationship as long got lavaliered. It sounds silly but these things can totally be the end of the world when you're 21. |

^ Agreed. It doesn't seem to happen much at my campus, and when it does, it means it's a serious relationship but it's more of a sweet than a very serious thing. We do candle passes for engagements and when a girl is lavaliered, and we've only had one girl be lavaliered. It was very sweet when she blew out her candle because we were all SHOCKED and SUPER excited and she was like, "Don't freak out I'm not engaged!!! But he gave me his lavaliere and a key to his place!" and it was cute :)

You know - I love Greeks for the continued and ongoing use of the word lavaliere. It just doesn't get a work out like it used to.

ROXIE: And I'll appear in a lavaliere That goes all the way down to my waist. |
True...she may have "gotten" his letters, but she didn't get his heart. YOU DID!! He has given his heart to you...and it's far more precious. If you get the diamond (read: engagement ring of some variety), then I say the ring trumps the letters.
I understand that it's a little difficult for you to accept right now, but just think long-term on this one...which would you rather have in 10 yrs? His letters...or his ring & his kids? Besides, if it's going to cause some potential for a rift among he & his friends, is it really worth persuing? Good luck! |
agzg,
First off all, it was relevant because I was pointing out how most people take greek life too seriously, and me being related to so many would mean I would be the epitomy of this; which I am not. Secondly, the same [now in bold] text of your reply says that it is childish (its just a shirt) and is not expected of someone who is not 18, like OP here. I gave my letters to a girl i didn't even like. If you don't like what I am posting, just shut up and give your own opinions. Then leave. I don't recall checking an accept box where it said I had to point out which lines of my answer corresponded to which part of the OP's question and how. |

All of us know thousands of Greeks. Regardless of whether we're related to them, I think all of us have a lot of experience with this (particularly old-heads who have been contributing alumni members for decades - love you guys!;)) You had nothing new to add, a bunch of other people now have nothing new to add. You can thank yourself for making GreekChat just a little bit dumber with every post. |
wow. I don't understand why you have a problem with me saying something.
And btw, there is a difference between knowing greeks in college and growing up with almost all male members talking about the same thing with the same greek memorabilia all around, throughout your life. Regardless, I am not trying to please you with my answers. I am done. Please go policing comments somewhere else. I think I saw a sentence someone typed in the hazing section that was a bit off topic. You should definitely check it out and let them have it. |

Non-greek in the room. Can someone please explain to me the correlation between the sweater and the lavaliere? If a girl doesn't have the latter then she can't wear a sweater with letters on it or something?
