back in my day at fsu, lavaliering was the equilavent to a h.s. boy giving his class ring to his steady girlfriend-sort of a physical statement that they are a couple. pinning was sort of a pre-engagement thing .
there was a lovely local jewelry store in downtown tallahassee where all the sororities and fraternities purchased their chapter guards, officer dangles and lavaliers. that whole block has since been absorbed by the state for more office space.
there were lots of lavalierings, pinnings and engagements and the fraternity brothers would come over and serenade the girl for a pinning or engagement. the boy would then be hauled up the street to westcott fountain and thrown in.
