Assuming the best:
A lavalier is a necklace with an organizations greek letters on it.
To be lavaliered is a tradition that varies a bit based on organization and chapter. For many fraternities, the tradition is that the guy "lavaliers" his girlfriend as a sign that they are serious. Kind of like getting "pinned" but without the risk of losing his pin.

For many sororities, lavaliers are given as big/little gifts, or by parents as initiation presents or in other traditional non-romantic senses at least traditionally.
I'm not a troll, this is a new account because I will be going through recruitment a second time and revealed a bit too much information on my previous account.

Oooh. The phrase "Getting pinned" makes so much more sense now.

Thank you for the explanation. :]
