If they don't tell you why, then the chapter shouldn't sign off on the termination/should request HQ doesn't approve it. Yes, it sounds a little blackmaily but I believe if someone's quitting they should show a little courtesy and tell you if it's them not you, rather than make you think the sorority's to blame.

This is interesting.
In my organization (and in similar orgs, I've been told), your dues are sent off as soon as they're paid with the understanding that it's non-refundable. If, after paying dues, someone decides to drop, that's his prerogative. He knows he's not getting his money back. That's why I don't feel compelled to probe when a pledge doesn't want to continue the process.

I also have a "thing" about members self terminating and still wearing letters. I don't expect them to hand in the t-shirts they paid for or the jewelry their mother bought them, but I also expect that since they no longer want to represent my organization they will no longer wear my letters. Huge pet peeve.  |
This is why I'm glad that letters are restricted to initiated members. We don't have to worry about getting lettered items back, as they don't wear letters in the first place.
I'm not aware of anyone refusing to return ritual items or pins.
