Expelling a member

[Trey_P-I_47]

I was just wondering what would constitue a member getting expelled. Can a member be expelled from the fraternity if he has not been in school for the last 2 semesters, and if so for what reasons.

Don't know exactly but...

I would think it would have to be severe. Just not being in school for 2 semesters would probably just make him an alumni. If he was not in school because he was in jail, that may be another story.

I think any behavior that seriously harms the fraternity or brotherhood would be considered, although that is very general.

Well the person in question has just pretty much been out of school. He left owing a little bit of money but was also on Academic Suspension at the same time.....So im not to sure about how they (everyone else) could try and expell him or even force him to resign. I mean he isnt even active around the chapter except with me and my roommate, and thats because he recruited both of us. So we were friends before I became a brother.

Anyone else have any thoughts about this

It's sort of laid out in the constitution about how it works and what it would require.

We had to expell a brother because we found out he was selling drugs. It's not fun, but you've got to do what you've got to do. Usually you're not losing a lot with those kinds of members.

If the brother has not been at school in 2 semesters then I would declare him inactive. If he comes back and wants in the chapter then just have everyone vote. If he left in Good Standing then you could put him as Alumni when we graduated from another univeristy if he transferred. The procedure goes something like that but we all know there are situations where the High Gamma has put brothers as alumni who did not exactly earn it.

There are a number of facts missing to provide an accurate answer.

What was the status of the undergraduate when he left the institution?
What is the nature of his absence from the institution?
What is the nature of the offense for which the question is being raised?
