Back in my day at MIT, if a freshman fraternity or ILG pledge depledged or deaffiliated, whether by their choice or the GLO's choice, the housing office would immediately find him/her a spot in the dorms. It might be a bed squeezed into a quad-turned-quint in the crappiest dorm on campus, but it was a bed. I can't recall any incidents where a freshman whose GLO made him depledge didn't go quietly into the dorms - why would you want to live in the house of a GLO that didn't want you there? Nowadays, all freshmen must live in the dorms, so it's a non-issue.
I'm honestly not sure what happens if a sophomore, junior, or senior depledges or deaffiliates. I think the housing office tries to find a spot but it's not guaranteed. Certainly a senior who deaffiliates shouldn't expect to be placed in a nice big single in the dorms - someone in that situation would probably go for an off-campus apartment (assuming they can find, and afford, one - housing in Boston/Cambridge ain't cheap).
