Lavaliere question

[Deltazeta4ever]

Hi everyone,

I have a silly question for you all... My niece (who is a very happy Delta Zeta) was just lavaliered last week!! She wants to wear her boyfriend's lavaliere as a dangle on her badge, and she asked me if this is proper "badge etiquitte." Does anyone know if she can do this? Back when I was lavaliered, I wore it as a regular necklace (as did the other women in my chapter). I really don't know what to tell her.

Just as an aside... when I was lavaliered, it was tradition for the man to send flowers (6 Killarney roses and 6 of his fraternity flower) to our chapter president to announce the occasion. Then, the flowers were presented to the lucky sister at her Candle Pass. Did anyone else do this? When I told my niece about this, she said it was "so old-fashioned." Man... I feel ancient!!

Thanks in advance for your input on this!!
