Honestly I don't think we've asked for items back when a member decided to drop...EXCEPT the new member pin or badge. I sometimes wish we did, not because they left, but because I feel like I earn my letters every day that I am an Alpha Gam (or try to, on bad days), and if they are no longer sisters, they do not.
I'd give stuff your big bought you back to her...or if she doesn't want it, give it to favorite pledge sisters. Any article of clothing should be given back...it would be fair to ask for compensation. Maybe ask if you can keep a picture frame with pictures...that reminds you of your time as a new member, but then you aren't claiming to be something you're not. I don't personally see a problem with keeping a picture frame or something small like that that is just going to be in your room.
