When I was is school, being lavaliered signified an exclusive relationship; it was basically the same thing as wearing a guy's class ring in high school. Pinning was serious; pinning pretty much meant you had an understanding and would become formally engaged closer to graduation. As for letters, when I was in school, it was still common to have big or little siblings in other GLOs, so it was OK to wear the letters of your big/little bro/sis. A lot of times we would have shirts made with the letters of both parties, kind of combining them if they had one in common, i.e. TKE with a Sigma over the K for Sigma Kappa or Sigma Sigma Sigma crossed with Alpha Sigma Phi. But it was only OK if you had a big/little in the other organization, you couldn't just wear them at random.
