As someone who dated (and then married) my GDI boyfriend AND Went to a 'southern' school (kentucky), I was pearled. At UK it is the equivalent of the lavalier for a frat boy. There really was no middle ground, after the pearl it would go straight to the engagement so I guess it could be either equivalent of the lavaliere or being 'pinned'.
It is a single pearl, hence the term "she got her pearl". Full strands of pearls are something your parents or other family member buys for you.
I still have it (22 years later) and wear it regularly. It's the first piece of jewelry my now husband gave me.
