How do you drop your girlfriend?

[Jimmy Fino]

Just wondering, what is the proceedure for dropping your girlfriend. It is the same thing as lavaliering her, right. So I give her my letters on a necklace, but is there any special thing that you are supposed to do or say? I am not going to ask my brothers, this kind of thing will result in my probably being tied to a tree naked on University ave. I am trying to avoid that for as long as possible.

My best friend's boyfriend is going to lavalier her and as far as i know its ok to do it as long as your going to marry her. If your not your brothers are going to do something terrible to you so watch out.

I don't know how it is at your school, but my guy friends have told me that lavaliering is just a symbol that you have been dating a girl for a while and like her a lot. But different chapters and schools are different....

Easy just be seen with her best friend, she will drop you jeulosly. dont worry she will return to normal!!!

Many guys end up having their entire chapter go with them to her house and serenade her until she comes outside and then he drops her.

[jester]

In my chapter, the majority of members view dropping a girl as a statement that she means as much, and most consider it to mean more, than your letters. The typical tying to the tree, etc. is really just to try and keep guys from dropping the girl of the moment. It has to be someone worth enduring the resulting brotherly aftermath for.

At UCLA it's called "pinning" and you give your badge to her, signifying that she is at least as important to you as your fraternity. It does have implications for the future, and generally the next step is getting engaged. The chapter goes over to the sorority and serenades them, after which there is a brief pinning ceremony.

If dropping is anything like lavaliering, and if it is anything like it is here...it better be worth it. I know people who it is like going through pledging but worse. i have seen guys tied to a tree naked and then had to beat up my own sister for wearing someone else's letters. So, i am just saying, that if you are going to give some girl your letters, think if she earned them as much as you did.

in response to asia, we beat up our sister because she was wearing letters that she didn't earn and that were other than the ones that we gave her. she knew it was going to happen and is not mad at any of us. she deserved and would have been the one leading the pack if anyone else got lavaliered. you have to earn the letters that are you wear.

[Serenity]

Cucci74, after being lavaliered, is it possible to have the letters taken away from you? If the relationship ends, what happens? Just curious. I hope I'm not overstepping any boundaries.

Hi Cucci74 -- whoa, for whatever reason, I assumed you were in a frat, not a sorority. I was thinking, "these men beat her up!" My mistake -- this typing is so misleading! Anyhow, now i understand why you did what you did. However, I didn't realize that a sorority sister couldn't wear her boyfriend's letters. I totally understand if she were wearing nalia from another sorority.

[SilverTurtle]

You know, I wouldn't want to wear my boyfriend's letters (if he were Greek, which he's not!) because I would much rather wear mine!!

And I was a little confused on that girl getting beat up, too.. because I *thought* you were a girl, but usually you hear about brothers beating up a member who pins/lavaliers/etc. his girlfriend!! And I knew it wasn't like brothers to go and beat up a sister.. thanks for clearing that up! LOL

First off, I readily admit that I have very limited knowledge of greek life. I am not in a sorority (although I plan to rush in the fall) and am a bit appalled at the idea that a sister would be beaten for wearing her boyfriends letters. Is this standard proceedure? The idea that one would "earn" letters by being beaten seems more than slightly barbaric. Cucci74, If this is someone to whom you claim sisterhood, how could you hurt her in that manner? I apologize for my naiveity, I am just looking for some clarification. Thanks

[harlemgirl]

does the same procedure go if ther girlfriend is not greek herself and is this in BGLO as well as GLO? also looking for clarification
