lavalier question
We've just initiated a guy who's married. He wants to give a lavalier to his wife. I can't think of a reason why not. Thoughts?

It seems even more appropriate to give a lavalier to a wife than to a girlfriend.

I agree. Lavaliering is normally considered a pre-engagement in most Greek circles, so if they're already married I see no reason why the wife can't represent your fraternity.

I say expel the s.o.b., throw him in jail, then off with his head. The nerve!

As a wife, I think that it can only make her feel as though she is welcomed into this new part of her husband's life. I would consider it to be my husband involving me in as many aspects of his life as he could.

Yes, I think there are discussions on GC somewhere about what they call Phi Sigma Sigma and Phi Sigma Kappa when they are on the same campus.

I'm a Phi Sigma Sigma (which is officially classified a women's fraternity), wife and mother... def a girl! Just goes to show how you have to justify EVERYTHING on the boards.

No worries! I understand. Although I had a good chuckle over a guy with the nickname Coco.

As long as his fraternity brothers haze the hell out of him when it happens, it has my approval. I guess its not hazing if theyre a brother... but whatever.

It's never hazing.. it's "building brotherhood."
