From this post, it sounds as if lavaliering and pinning are two separate things. I'm assuming lavaliering involves lavaliers and pinning involves the pin allowed for sweethearts, etc? Is there any other significant difference between the two?

Lavaliering comes before pinning. Pinning is where you give the girl your actual fraternity pin, not a sweetheart pin (whatever that is).

Pinning is way more hardcore than lavaliering.

From what I know, a sweetheart pin is a jewelry piece designed to be given to a designated sweetheart, much in the same way she might be given flowers or a spa gift certificate - as either a "thank you" or a "congratulations", depending on the sweetheart tradition and role of the sweetheart in the given chapter. I don't think all organizations have them, but many do... the Delta Tau Delta one, for instance, is a modified version of the brothers' membership badge, with some symbols and turned on a diagonal to differentiate it. I know KA order also has one, and many organizations also offer them in some sort of necklace form... you can check them out at http://www.hjgreek.com ... just look for your organization, and then it's usually under "sweetheart / gifts". Very different from lavaliering or pinning.
