Personally, I'm really torn on this one.
One the one hand, everyone deserves a chance, and if you lay the law down and say "This is the policy, caught and you're immediately out" the guy may find a stable peer group that doesnt do drugs, and you have a fine new brother in your fraternity.
On the other hand, as Tom says, if he's done it once, he might do it again, maybe not at school but over the summer with high school buddies, or with some independent friends or whatever. and then you have a serious problem on your hands.
Personally, my initial gut instinct is to keep in touch with him, and when you meet to offer him a bid, lay down the law, stating your zero tolerance policy and you had to expell good active brothers for this. If he rises to the challenge, then great. If he falters and smokes up while pledging, expel with severe prejudice. Not only will you have gotten rid of a problem, but you will have taught the other new members that you do not tolerate this and will follow up on the threat.
