Question

Do sorority women lavalier their boyfriends too (like exchanging class rings in highschool) or do they keep theirs. I guess what I'm asking is: Is it just a guy thing?

My advice... DO NOT DO IT!

Oh man, its only 10 months. I dunno, I guess every chapter is different, but for Kappa Sigma's at UConn, the only girls I know of who are lavaliered were greek themselves so they had a full appreciation of the greek system, and were girls who were engaged/married to brothers. In my nearly 5 years as a brother, no brother initiated after me has lavaliered his girlfriend, nor do I see it happening any time soon. We take it that seriously.

Me personally, my letters are one of my biggest sources of pride, I've made girlfriend's turn a Kappa Sigma sweatshirt inside out without hesitation, rather than wear the actual letters, etc.

Well I'm a douchebag... however the advice still stands for anyone considering it on short term.

Never drop for GDI's. It means nothing to them.

Furthermore, yeah I know that at least in my chapter, they get tree'd... I had to clean up the mess from it when I was pledging.

Umm...no.

I was a "GDI" when I was pinned, I knew what it meant and how special it was.

Don't do blanket statements kids!

GDI - dumbest phrase ever. In fact I find it worse than "frat boy".

Why is it such a bad phrase?

I agree if anyone who is greek has any respect for our values and beliefs and what is left of us you would NOT pin, drop, letter, or whatever a GDI. And for those that believe GDI's could understand, they have no idea, they will never understand, and it can never be explained. Until you earn them you do not under any circumstance deserve to wear them.

and on a last note GDI God Damn Independent is a perfect phrase. and those that are GDI's should plan on being referred to in that term especially if you are around Greeks, if you don't like it maybe you should hang out with other GDI's or go greek yourself.

I was wondering the exact same thing.

I noticed an influx of new posters with Fratty-like posts recently.
