If he says it's OK, it probably is.

Giving someone you're very interested in a lavalier with you letters is a very old tradition in fraternities. I was lavaliered to my wife 35 years ago.

The one difference these days seems to be that lavaliering appears to carry a bigger meaning/committment. It used to be a three stage process (and still is in some schools):

1) Lavalier
2) Pinned
3) Engaged

Also, a pledge could give a lavalier to his girlfriend, but had not "earned" his pin (badge) yet, so a fraternity pledge could not be pinned. A fraternity man could lavalier or pin any girl -- she did not have to be Greek.

Good luck.
