what i have recieve is greek letters from big, dropped necklace (i'm pretty sure i have to give this back), tote bag, photo album, notepads, jacket, flip flops, stitch shirt, family stitch, another shirt i got on big/lil reveal day, bid day shirt, clues from big (some letters with symbol), a cup, picture frame, and other little things....
thank you in advance! oh and in case you were wondering i decided i did not want to be intiated due to some family disagreement about the use of my college money  |
Yeah you pretty much should give back everything, except for maybe the clues from your big.
I know you spent a lot of money as a new member, but everyone else is right...
All those gifts that you get from your big are really "sorority stuff" and since you'll no longer be a member, it wouldn't really be right for you to keep it. Keep pictures (not the frame), keep memories, keep letters, keep anything that was personalized to you as a friend outside of the context of your former sorority, but the right thing to do would be to give back everything else.
I personally would find it inappropriate if a new member of my org depledged and I later walked in her room to find that she had lettered AXO items around. Those items are privileges of membership. And think of it this way: by giving all your stuff back, you're helping out your friends in the chapter by allowing current or future member to enjoy them!
