not that active members would disclose this to NMs, but dont "gifts" to NMs tend to come out of NM fees? of course it covers the NME and activities, but i do recall somewhere it could pay for "gifts" (i quote it because essentially you, as an NM would pay for your own stuff... which leads me to say - "hey give the girl her money back!")
on the other hand, seriously no deal - you cant be keeping letters that are not yours. if it is truly a decision of "i can't afford dues," then she should have no problem being initiated the next semester (now whether she'd be eligible for rush again, or if the chapter would even pick her again... who knows)
so yeah - if the gifts came out of NM fees, she should get it back. if she paid out of pocket... technically its hers, but i would equate it to a perp owning para. sort of like how people buy para before they cross (which is always bad karma, to say the least)...
hmm. one of many reasons why im no big fan of freshmen joining sororities...
