Lavaliering?

[IheartAphi]

My boyfriend of over a year lavaliered me last december at their semi formal/ Their chapter only allows them to pin/lavalier at that time and at the formal. They go off and do secret guy stuff (usually come back drunk and smelling of cigar smoke)

The girls have no clue they are lavaliered until the social chair gets up and announces which brothers gave out lavalier. I always assumed you would be told by your boyfriend that evening that you were lavaliered.

It kinda sucks because you sit there trying to act gracious and basically not cry from disappointment, but then your relieved to hear your name called out and get the explanation from your boyfriend later.

Its neat because his mother was lavaliered and pinned by his father at UNC's Sigma Nu. She got out her lavalier and we swaped stories. She still has the flowers the brothers gave to her at the pinning ceremony.

We called it dropping.

After chapter the brother would be taken to the house courtyard and tied to the flagpole out there. The chapter would then cover him in whatever we could find in the fridge: eggs, katchup, musturd, etc.

His newly dropped girlfriend would have to come and untie him and let him down....

Then there is much drinking
