I know of someone who did the maximum worst thing they could possibly do legally and not receive prison time(in some states, they would seriously be looking at three years of hard time). They were not kicked out due to their membership. However, as a pledge, the toleration is much lower and they would have been kicked out certainly. (p.s. the person miiiiiight have been me)

Getting a bid, it's almost a matter of whether or not the fraternity hears about it (and to some degree, even while pledging). As far as I can recall, we don't do a criminal background check on these guys.
