Pinning and lavaliering do not create a connection with a boyfriend's fraternity. It's simply a traditional way of indicating the seriousness of a relationship.
Full disclosure: My thoughts may be influenced by the fact that my fraternity does not allow non-members to wear our letters -- not even in the form of a lavalier.
And I still can't imagine a guy actually wearing a lavalier.  |
Don't speak for my chapter and say that she cannot have a connection to Sigma Nu. Also, other members of my chapter have been lavaliered and do wear their girlfriend's/ fiancé's/ wive's letters around their neck with pride. If your aren't a Sigma Nu, don't speak for us. I find it odd that someone whose fraternity has no traditions or customs for lavaliering can claim to know so much and even ridicule others about it.
I see nothing wrong with her using Sigma Nu in her screen name. She isn't claiming to be one. It is merely a gesture of affection and support.
