ok, sorry about the jokes. we were just trying to have some fun.

on a more serious note, the toughest thing i ever had to do as vice archon was to go pick up all the paraphanilia from my two closest friends who dissaffliated from our chapter. i asked for all the official stuff like the badge, n.m. pin, etc. and then asked for everything else phi sig related including their chapter letters, paddles, lavaliers, license plate covers - EVERYTHING! i knew everything they owned that was phi sig, so they knew they couldn't (and didn't want to) keep it. they told me there were some specific items they wanted to give to certain sisters (ie. their braclets, or tshirts) but everything else they just gave up.

i understand that this doesn't happen everytime - and even though it was really hard - it might be necessary to actually go up to the girl once she dissaffliates and get everything from her then.

i don't believe that the whole, "once a phi sig, always a phi sig" applies once the membership has been voided - and thus, anyone who dissaffliated shouldn't own anything having to do with phi sig.
