We've had issues with this. Our chapter offers to reimburse people for their stuff (which is pretty much just t-shirts). In most cases of disassociation for us, the clothes haven't really been worn much if at all, and it's a way to make sure that people aren't wearing letters who shouldn't be. But for us, usually the problem is getting in contact with the person, which is usually why the whole process begins in the first place. First they stop coming to chapter, then they don't answer emails, then they ignore phone calls, ignore disassociation notices...so just getting to them to get the stuff back can be a hassle.
