That's how it was when I got pinned, too (only four years ago). To us, the lavaliere meant "serious boyfriend/girlfriend", while the pin was "soon to be engaged".
My closest sorority sister and I both got pinned the same day and we got engaged within six months of each other.
Our sorority has a ritual that goes with the pinning and we got to do it together which was wonderful.

That article is amazing though. I do wish he had said which organization.
