Lavalier?

[DeeZeeOE07]

At my school, girls are lavaliered (we called it being Dropped) after dating a guy for a significant period of time. If a guy drops a girl early in a relationship it's really looked down upon by other Greeks. Dropping a girl means that she is just as important to you as the fraternity is. My boyfriend's already told me that I shouldn't be expecting a drop anytime soon, that it will definitely be a few more years. After a girl is dropped, she can then wear block letter shirts with his letters and the like. The only way a girl who isn't dropped can wear the fraternities' letters by themselves (shirts from drop-ins and other multi-GLO events are fine to wear) is if they are event shirts (Rush, Game Day, shirts like Pike Girl and Chop Girl stuff) Otherwise we just have to wait until we're dropped. I know my boyfriend wouldn't even let me wear his block letter sweatshirt when I was freezing because he hasn't dropped me. It's a pretty big deal at my school to get dropped. In my chapter, we have candlelights for girls who get dropped. The only other reason we have those are for promise rings and engagement rings, and I guess in the Greek world, getting dropped is the first step to a ring!
