Sucks if you simply want "mementos" but really photos are the best mementos you can get, and those are not property of the sorority.

I'm sorry, but the sorority can't go into the greek life store on campus and walk out with whatever they please because it's "their property" and their bylaws say they can do that.
Sure, there are things which were provided to you 'on loan' from your chapter, but there are also things you've paid for individually. It's important to understand the distinction because your chapters have no business demanding the return (without paying them back) of things which were purchased with individual new members' money and not provided by the chapter's funds/resources.
The legal action thing is funny though. Would your chapter really spend the money to file a lawsuit in small claims court to get back a new member pin, some t-shirts and books? Doubtful.
