I once asked my bf if he knew what it was. He didn't know so I explained it to him. When I was done, he pointed at the necklace he gave me and said "There's you're lavalier" in a "I could care less about this Greek tradition" kind of voice, lol

And I know for sure I would never get pinned, because the day after he was initiated he told me that they were told they could not pin a girl with their badge...too many instances of girls breaking up with the guy, and then the guy never getting his badge back, lol. But he doesn't even have a badge...and that's another story...

I believe his fraternity does have a "Sweetheart" pin for those purposes though. But, again, he's not into that kind of thing, and it's not done around here anyways. Oh well!
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who never heard of this tradition, at lest before GC. Though my fraternity does have a sweetheart pin, I'm not sure how commonly it is used. Lovespink can you PM me if it turns out your BF is a Psi U, because I know we have a couple of chapters in Illinois.
