When a member deactivates, they are required by our national to forfeit their pin and their certificate that they receive upon initiation. We never go around and collect the other stuff. Most times, they aren't interested in walking around in letters if they aren't active. Of course, we go to a small school, so if someone deactivated, everyone would know!! We never had anyone in my chapter do so, but it's happened at other chapters. Sometimes girls will give their stuff to others in the group, but the only official thing is the pin and the certificate.
If someone depledges though, we get everything back. It's her big sister's responsibility to go and get all of the stuff back, including her new member pin and ribbon, and if she wants the gifts she gave her back, then that stuff too. Some bigs do and some don't.
