As far as I understand it, the only way someone can loose their
brotherhood is at a National Convention by a vote of the delegates. I
would assume this carries over into the life membership arena. I do not
believe this has ever been done. I imagine you would have to do something
pretty darn awful and damaging to the fraternity as a whole to have your
membership revoked.
Individual chapters can, however, set their own guidelines for active
membership provided it does not conflict with National bylaws.
Once a brother... always a brother... :-)
