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.

When you get lavaliered, you get a lavalier with his letters.
When you get pinned, it depends on the fraternity. With some fraternities he'll give you his badge, with others there's a special pin, and with others it's just not done.
I'm honestly not sure what happens if you break up. I think you would keep a lavalier, or a pin unless it's his actual badge. I'm not sure if you would still be allowed to wear his letters, but I for one would have felt really strange running around in my ex's letters... The women I knew who were lavaliered to fraternity men and then broke up with them, stopped wearing their letters.
