A lot of chapters operate more on word-of-mouth and nebulous oral traditions than actual fraternity bylaws, for better or for worse.
I have to ask generallygreek if she got a lavaliere...she mentioned something about a necklace, but she hasn't said anything about this tradition. Her rec writer did get her a lettered tote bag from Pi Phi Express.
