If he loved you that much, he's buy an engagement ring or some other piece of jewlery to signify that love.

I would
never, ever in my wildest dreams expect that a member of an NPHC fraternity would pin/lavalier his intended/serious girlfriend. At the same time, I
cannot imagine that an IFC fraternity man who loves his brotherhood would
not pin/lavalier his intended/serious girlfriend.
This is interesting to me - two diametrically opposing traditions, and they both embody the love of one's fraternity, as well as love for one's soulmate.
These differences in tradition, as divergent as they may be, both speak volumes of how much a man loves and respects his letters - but more importantly, how much
his lady loves and respects
him.
You know a lady loves her man when she wouldn't dream of touching anything with the letters he loves. You know a lady loves her man when she proudly bears the letters he loves. In either case, it conveys utmost love and respect.
