The tradition as it was on my campus is that you Lavalier a girl or pin a girl if it's pre-engagement. She should only be wearing your letters if she's been lavaliered or pinned. You love this girl so much that you put her on par with your brothers. You want her to wear your letters so she knows that she is just as important to you as those letters are to you.
It's a HUGE deal at Butler and at Wabash, generally the guy gets beat up over it or humiliated by his brothers and the girl has a candelight where he shows up with his brothers and presents the lavalier or pin.
