1) When you get lavaliered by a guy, does he give you a lavalier with his letters, or yours?
2) When you get "pinned", what kind of pin does the guy give you? His official fraternity badge/pin? A non-official pin with his letters on it?
3) If you break up, are you supposed to give the lavalier/pin back? Are you still allowed to wear his letters if you break up?
Just curious cause I don't know anything about these traditions.

1) He gives you a lavalier with his letters. A lot of girls will wear this along with their lavalier, with a spacer bead between them, or one on a longer/shorter chain.
2) Generally most gentleman I've seen give the girl his actual pin. However, many organizations have their own sweetheart pin. In some cases, it's a replica of their pin. In others, it's a sweetheart pin. (AEPi has a gorgeous fleur-de-lis sweetheart pin). Most fraternities have an official "sweetheart" pin.
3) If you break up, common courtesy would be to give the stuff back. I certainly wouldn't wear his letters anymore, and I don't think anyone else would either - it'd be really tacky.
