Which statement correctly describes which letters must be turned in?

• A. Letters owned by the member and not paid for by them
• B. Letters owned by the member but paid for by the chapter
• C. All letters owned by the member
• D. No letters are required to be turned in

Answer: (A)

Property status and payment responsibility guide which letters must be returned. If a letter is in the member’s possession but has not been paid for by the member, it remains tied to the chapter’s financial and property interests, so it must be turned in to settle the account. In other words, you don’t keep items you haven’t paid for yourself; they’re returned so the chapter can recoup value. Fully paid-for letters are the member’s personal property and do not have to be turned in, while letters paid for by the chapter are chapter property and would be handled according to the chapter’s rules.
