I can not say this is for all fraternities, but for mine once you are gone you are GONE. No matter the reason once you are expelled you can NOT come back. Of course brothers leave and become alumni, and some have to leave school for personal reasons in which the fraternity finds as reasonable, and they become, "left school status." Now if you are expelled because you can not pay dues that is NO exception! No matter how long you have been in the fraternity if you can not pay dues you are out. Paying dues is an obligation you take when you start the pledge program, so there is no reason to be upset if that is why one is being expelled in my organization. I have not seen a brother leave the chapter as a GONE brother because my chapter brothers understands the meaning of business. Money makes the world go round, and without money you can't survive.
