But that is a sign of my commitment to my boyfriend and to his fraternity and his symbol of commitment to me and building a life together. It sounds like your fraternity has already honored your advisor in a way that's more important then allowing her to wear your letters. I agree with the suggestion of buying her a piece of jewelry with your jewel or maybe an engraving of something, it will mean more to her 10 years from now then any article of clothing.

Personally, I think the old advisor has more entitlement to be acknowledged with a plaque with the letters after putting blood, sweat and tears into the organization than someone wearing a lavaliere simply because she is schtupping a fraternity boy. Not really sure how your relationship to your boyfriend implies you are committed to his fraternity. You're not. It's a tradition though and that makes it ok. But hey, to each his own.
