Pinning is way more hardcore than lavaliering. |
From what I know, a sweetheart pin is a jewelry piece designed to be given to a designated sweetheart, much in the same way she might be given flowers or a spa gift certificate - as either a "thank you" or a "congratulations", depending on the sweetheart tradition and role of the sweetheart in the given chapter. I don't think all organizations have them, but many do... the Delta Tau Delta one, for instance, is a modified version of the brothers' membership badge, with some symbols and turned on a diagonal to differentiate it. I know KA order also has one, and many organizations also offer them in some sort of necklace form... you can check them out at
