If they're still friends with her, they should encourage her to return things and be respectful...not be in pics making the handsign with her. If they have trouble differentiating between "friends" and sisters, they need to rethink their membership.

DubaiSis: Why on earth would philanthropy participants be wearing letters? There's a HUGE difference between "ASA presents Chili Feed 2004" on a shirt and a lettered shirt or item that leads the average person seeing it to believe that the wearer is a member of the fraternity or sorority.
Of course, anyone can walk into a Greek store and buy a lettered item of their choice with no proof of who they are. I agree with your first paragraph. Take it up with your own members. They should not be encouraging such behavior, though from experience I've seen this backfire. If anyone makes comments about this girl using this bag, I'd just state that she is not a member but won't stop using the bag. End of discussion. Anyone in the know will understand. She'll likely get shamed and stop using the offending item before you know it.
