I'm not quite sure of the occurrance of lavaliering or pinning on my campus, but from what I understand, lavaliering is equivalent to a promise ring, and pinning is the equivalent of becoming engaged. At least that's the way it is here. I only know a two people who are lavaliered, and only one who is pinned, and that's my Big! She's looking at getting her pin and his pin put together by a jeweler... which I think would be cool.
Anywho, just thought I would share.
