question for you all

Hello!

My boyfriend and I have been together for awhile now and I want to give him like a sweetheart pin or something that has my letters on it but I don't know if that is acceptable for me to do. He isn't a greek and as far as I know AxiD doesn't have a pin or symbol that we usually give out to our significant others.
It has been something that I have wanted to do for some time now but don't know what to do for it.
If anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful!
Thanks

The only pins Alpha Xi Delta has for non members are the mother's pin and the father's pin. Nothing that I know of for the men in our lives.

I also don't think its appropriate for you to give him a lavalier.

Don't. In general Alpha Xi Delta isn't super persnickety about stuff, but there isn't any sort of jewelry I can think of that would be boyfriend appropriate. I can't think of any scenario where this wouldn't either be creepy or weird. To be sure, you can contact FHQ and ask the question. If there is something appropriate, they'll suggest it.

If you want to include him in your sorority life, invite him to a formal, involve him in your philanthropy project (maybe you have a Xi Man competition at your school?), if appropriate, etc.. But I really think he was inquiring out of curiosity, not actual interest in wearing your letters. He would be seen by other guys as odd. It's just not the same as a girl getting jewelry from a guy. Really the only jewelry I can think of that a guy will wear based on a relationship is a wedding ring.
