Just brand his ass instead
But seriously, I think the people that are pointing out that a boy isn't going to view a lavalier the same as a girl, are speaking truth.
Girls can propose to boys, usually girls don't propose on bended kneee with the offer of an engagement ring. Or at least not that I have heard.
Would your chapter do a candlepass for you? Is that kind of what you are angling for? Thats cool but maybe they would just do one for you anyway.
The original poster also said her BF isn't in a fraternity.

Lavaliering is meant to be act act of love - it's not really about a necklace. It's about saying to your girl/boyfriend, "You mean as much to me as my brothers/sisters, so my letters are your letters. My brothers/sisters acknowledge that you're that important to me, too."
As long as that's implied, there's no need for girly necklace, or a manly necklace, or anything, just as long as your significant other knows that they are always welcome in your house and accepted by your fraternity or sorority.

I think women's GLO jewelers should start selling mascot cufflinks and tie pins for girls to "lavalier" their boyfriends

In AEPhi's case, the answer is no. Nobody except initiated sisters is allowed to wear the Greek letters.
But... men who are not in fraternities can "lavalier" their girlfriends. My husband, who is not in a fraternity, somehow found out about lavaliering and bought me a little heart-shaped charm as my "lavalier". My sisters considered it just as valid as a fraternity lavalier, and did a candle pass for me. A friend of my husband's, who is also not in a fraternity, "pinned" his then-girlfriend (now ex-wife) who's in a different sorority, and her sisters did a candle pass for her.

You can candlelight for a promise ring as well.

i would not think that you would qualify for a candlepass if you did not receive the lavalier, but it is an interesting twist on tradition.
