Can a girl lavalier a guy???

[aephi alum]

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.

I've heard of "pearling" girls--if a guy's a GDI, then he can give a girl a pearl instead of the letters he doesn't have.

I don't really get that...a lavalier says you would put her before your fraternity. A pearl says you would put her before.....? An oyster?

We do candlelightings for more than just lavalierings.
