Lavalier?

Here's an out of the lane question,
Has anybody experienced or heard of a couple going through one of those lavaliering/dropping/pinning ceremonies, and then breaking up a short time later? I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that announcement.

I got lavaliered by my TKE boyfriend of three years this past Sunday. He didn't do it at meeting or anything, he just had me close my eyes and put it on. It's so lovely and his chapter really isn't too fussy about it, especially since I've been around for practically forever.

In my chapter, you usually lavalier your little with the sorority letters after a year (or if you're leaving or going alumnae then when you do your alum ceremony since you may not be around if you don't live down here) I'm going to do one of my littles very soon, probably this Thursday. Usually the sisters do silver, but my boyfriend upgraded my original silver one that my big gave me to a gold one (since I was a REALLY good lil and am a very involved sister).

The dreaded "Curse of the Lavaliere!"
With our dropping ceremony that is similar to some of the ones mentioned previously, that has DEFINITELY happened. Shortest period: one month. Sad story. She was then dropped again... this time, a different fraternity. Now she's engaged to a guy from home! More power to her because her powers of persuasion are unmatched! LOL

My big sis was dropped by her boyfriend of almost 4 years, but they were basically the worst couple together. They cheated on each other back and forth just for revenge and the only reason he dropped her was because she was bugging him about it and like 4 other girls had gotten dropped that same semester. This was last spring and they broke up this summer. Actually everyone who was dropped that semester broke up soon after. Now everyone's afraid to get "the curse of the drop" haha
