Let's be clear on "pinning." They make little tokens.. either fake gold, gold plated or solid gold sets of letters that can be attached to a chain. That's okay.
What's not okay is to let her wear your badge (unless you get engaged). Girlfriends do not get to wear the badge. Fiancees, mothers and sisters do.
I've been in on a lot of "droppings." My favorite was where basically the whole chapter rolled out to Bricktown (an entertainment area in OKC with a riverwalk, numerous clubs, etc.) I brought my fiddle... The member we did it for arranged that he and his gf would be walking one way down the sidewalk, us the other. We ran into them, and serenaded 'em with Green Day's "Time of Your Life." I think one guy had a guitar.. I did the violin part. Anyway.. she enjoyed that.
As I said though, it varies from place to place. If you're part of the recolonization effort at Arkansas, you can either talk to some alums and find out what they did and do that so long as it's legal.. Or you can just make up your own thing.
