what do i have to give back?

This is why I'm glad that signing our termination/depledge paperwork means that they will return ALL lettered items (including the things they bought). So pretty much if you want to terminate, you need to return things. They also have the option of giving the items to their big/littles/other sisters. But either way, they know that whatever they have with our letters on it needs to be returned.

I guess we've just been lucky because anyone who has ever terminated or depledged had no desire to wear our letters or have them on anything.

I'm the President of a local org and we also have this paperwork that all members sign re: giving merchandise with our letters back upon leaving the org. We don't allow the girls to wear letters until after they're initiated so girls de-pledging and not giving letters back isn't an issue. Although, we did have a girl de-pledge (like 4 or 5 weeks into an 8 week pledge period) and ask for her pledge fee back! (we have since created paperwork for that also!)

I should also mention that our HQ also has paperwork that girls sign when they pledge saying that:

*The letters/sorority name/crest/badge are property of Tri Sigma.
*If you depledge/terminate, all items bearing those things must be retruned.
*If you wish to leave the sorority, you forfeit ALL dues/fees that you've paid.
*Termination is irreversible (if you terminate your membership OR you ARE terminated by HQ, you cannot join again).

Believe it or not, some girls have terminated, CHANGED THEIR MINDS, and asked to rejoin! We were pretty stunned. WTF?! You SIGNED THE PAPERS!
