dropping membership
if someone depeldged your chapter, i know that they would be required to return their pledge pin, but would they be asked to return any t-shirts and/or gifts with the organizations name on it that they had received?

Well, when a member terminates, the form states that ALL lettered items and things bearing the words Sigma Sigma Sigma must be surrendered, since termination voids the privilege of wearing/owning letters. The chapter president has to also sign the form, so she is present whenever a member signs termination paperwork and she makes sure they understand everything before they sign. We've never really had an issue with women not wanting to surrender items. They usually just gave them all to their big/littles/close chapter sister.

It's rarely enforced, but some chapters do go and collect the former members pin and sorority memoribilia. Many are too timid to confront the person who cancelled, esp. if they were not voluntary cancellations.

LOL, maybe on your campus. It sure doesn't work that way everywhere

No, but I wish we did require them to return lettered items.

So do I! We had a few girls who resigned but still wanted to pretend they were part of the chapter. I'd see them in letters all over campus.

I know of at least one case when "those horribly mean alumnae advisors" were called in to do the dirty work. 
But yes, all was confiscated.

I can't imagine demanding anything back from a depledged sister. (Maybe the pin, but I certainly wouldn't give mine up if in the same situation.)

why not? if you have no affiliation with them, why would you want to keep their things?
my chapter always asked for the items back - all fraternity issues pins, handbook, etc; as well as anything with our name or letters on it. although not easy at times, you dont want someone to potentially misrepresent your chapter by wearing your letters around.

When you say depledge, do you mean quit the pledge process? I mean before accepting membership in the organization.
