There has been some discussion about this by the Exec Board of my chapter (Iota Omicron, Bowling Green State University) recently, because our Vice Pres's fiancee goes to a school where lavaliering is apparently frequent and encouraged.
First off, I'm not entirely sure what lavaliering IS... I've heard that it's:
1. a brother giving his girlfriend a specific piece of jewerly with the Greek letters on it.
2. a ceremony where the chapter "adopts" a person without initiating them, and then they can wear letters.
3. a brother giving his fiancee a set of letters.
Is is one of these? Or does it vary from place to place? I find myself a little irritated at being in the dark on this matter, considering that I am the Fraternal EDUCATION Officer of our chapter.
Secondly, I know that it's been/being discussed... but man, would it be nice to have some definitive answers on this. This is something that I think needs consistency across chapters because I would hate to use our hailing call on someone in letters (example #2 above), and then find out that they haven't been initiated. Also, if it IS acceptable, I know MY fiancee would love to wear my letters (she always talks about how comfortable they look)...
