When you say "dropped" do you mean they were initiated, or they dropped out while they were pledging?
At any rate, GET THE SHIRTS BACK. Women who are not new members or initiated sisters should not be wearing or possessing our letters. If women want to drop, they should be informed that they need to return anything with ASA insignia to the chapter, including letter shirts and their pins. As far as whether you should offer to reimburse them, it really depends on the situation. If Susie is dropping out only because her dad lost his job and she's broke...yes, it's a nice thing to do to offer to buy them back from her. If women are being terminated because of disciplinary or other reasons, they shouldn't get that consideration.
Are you having problems with lots of girls dropping? All I can say is, don't hand letters out like candy, and don't encourage people to go crazy buying stuff. Ask your advisors if they can contact their chapter sisters for old shirts they might want to donate.
