I can't believe all of the varied traditions dealing with lavaliering/ dropping. I was dropped by my boyfriend my junior year of college and I never experienced anything harmful from his brothers or my sisters. It was a very meaningful experience. My boyfriend gave me my drop when we were alone..not in a public ceremony. My sorority had a candlelight ceremony for me...that usually acts as a way to let the rest of the chapter know what happened(insead of just making an announcement or something). And several weeks later, during a house party at his frat house, he got tied to a pole and all kinds of nasty stuff dumped on him. It sounds really gross but it was in no way harmful. It was something that we will both remember forever.
