According to my (biological) sister, AGD allows people to apply for reinstatement. But, she's never personally heard of someone actually being successful at it. I don't know what criteria they would actually use to make the decision - perhaps its not something that's widely publicized.
I guess I have mixed feelings about it. I know how much it hurts when someone deactivates from your group - it would be frustrating to know that they dropped their commitment to the group in undergrad when you really needed them, yet came back and had all the perks of alum membership anyhow. But, ultimately, I suppose that it makes sense to review those situations on a case-by-case basis...you never know what unique circumstances someone might have. Just when I say I'd never support it, someone would come up with a hypothetical that might make me change my mind.
