I don't think anyone considered getting pinned "giving away your letters." It was more like sharing something very important to you with someone who was also very important to you.
In a more crass case, it was also kind of a status thing when one of the hottest women on campus was seen wearing your brother's or your badge. That was especially true when she wore it next to her pin from the "coolest" sorority on campus.
Well, I said it was crass -- at least the second paragraph.
I could be really wrong, but I have a feeling that when I was young "things" were more geared toward the romantic. My kids ran more in "groups" for dates, while in the 60's it was more one-on-one. There were things like "going steady" as well.
But, I could be wrong. Just the way it seems to me.
