That's the "traditional" method. Although there was no real "trouble" within the Fraternity when I was in school. Some good natured ribbing, but for the most part we were proud to have pinmates. It looked good for us to the rest of the campus.
I'm under the impression that neither lavaliering or pinning is done in many (perhaps a majority) of places currently.
Traditions do die sometimes.
