Lavaliere - A piece of jewelry, most commonly a charm worn on a necklace, with the letters of one's sorority or fraternity
Lavaliering - The practice of a fraternity man giving his lavaliere/letters to a woman, signifying their committed relationship
THATS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anybody who is not greek its kinda hard to understand what it means, but its a big deal. when this happens to a girl in a sorority we have to do a candel passing ceremony. basically after chapter meeting we all stood around with the lights out while we passed around a lit candle. no one knows who got laveliered exept the person (in this case ME) and the rituial chair. the first time that candel is passed around it represents sisterhood, the second time is for attachment, and the third is lavlering. when the candle gets to the girl who was lavaliered she blows it out, then everybody squeels ad rushes over. then she stands up in front of everybody and says how it happens :)
so within the greek community laviliering is a perdy well knows peocess. for the girls is so fun because having a candle ceremony is SOOOO much fun. cuz you have this HUGE secret and everyone finds out together. plus as soon as it is announced that there is a candle passing everyone goes NUTZ trying t figure out who it is. PLUS no one would have really guessed me because im technically not even a sister yet, wich means i actually got his letters before i got my own :) plus there are somme old girls that are waiting fr thier boyfriends to lavalier them so it was a suprise when it was the nebie.
but now that i think about it, nobady else i know from arlington is greek, so i suppose i should explain the significance. so a lavalier is a necklace that has your greek letters on it, so when you give it to your girlfriend it signifys that you put them above your brothers for life. so its kinda a big deal. its really exiting actually :))))
SO i had a hunch that it was coming for a while because he had mentioned it a while ago, just something about lavaliring. and earlyer this week he got a notification that he had a packedge to pick up. he thought it was going to be his sigma nu sweatshrt, so he took me with him to go and pick it up, but insted it was this smaller box that he romptly put in his sweatshirt. so i figured that it might be the lavalier....so anyway we go to formal and have a good time (for pictures check facebook, obvi) and during dinner it was cold so he put his jacket around me and i felt in the pocket and there was this little box, so that was BIG hint number two. but again i didnt say anything. so we have more fun and head back to our building. i go upstairs to grab some pjs and come down to his room and start off by complaining about how i just saw sheree blahblah etc. and then he pulls out the chain wth the lavalier and just goes "i think i have something that might make you feel better". but i had TOTALLY orgotten it, so it cought me off guard. awwwww it was so cute :)
AND i got my very own candle passing :) i think you can tell how exiting this is awwwwww
people kept asking me if i had a good time at formal and if anything exiting happend....haha yup :)
so anyway there is my big news.
ENJOY
im going to hang out with my man now :)
