My brother who went through this process did so because when he joined his original fraternity, out of high school, he did it for the wrong reasons. All he wanted was to party. So, he joined that fraternity for that reason, and went overboard with drugs and alcohol, as that is what that chapter is known for.
He finally realized after a couple years that he needed to get his life in order. He dropped out of school and went into the military. When he finished his time he ended up coming to the same school as me, where his girlfriend was starting. He got to know some of us who had gone to the same high school as him. He then decided he wanted to become an associate member of our fraternity. After being one for a semester he decided that this was the kind of brotherhood he really wanted and for the right reasons this time. He disaffiliated his original fraternity and is now a brother of mine.
He is actually one of the better members because he sees through all the bull and knows how to get things done the right way.
