Ok, well I'll give a girl's opinion... on the female side "getting lavaliered" was a big deal (at least for my chapter/when I was in school) because it meant you were 'serious' with your boyfriend AND he acknowledged it. I think your intent is really sweet, you're almost making it a "friendship lavalier", but yeah, that doesn't really "fit" with the usual greek org. traditions. Is your goal to do it before school is over so you go through the regular fraternity traditions when a guy gives a girl his lavaliere? And is she in a sorority, so are you hoping she'll get a candlelighting? Because I don't really think that should be your goal here and I wouldn't count on the orgs seeing it that way either. Could you wait until after graduation and give it to her as just a thanks/i love you, friend, gift? Once you're out of school some of the boyfriend-to-girlfriend significance might be lessened.
