Which statement about initiated brothers is true?

• A. Any initiated brother may resign or be expelled
• B. They cannot resign
• C. They can resign but cannot be expelled
• D. They are automatically expelled after one year

Answer: (A)

Initiated brothers have the ability to end their membership voluntarily and can also be removed by the organization through its proper processes. Resignation is a voluntary act a member can choose at any time, while expulsion is a sanctioned removal for violations or breaches, carried out according to established rules. Because of this, the statement that initiated brothers may both resign and be expelled accurately describes how membership can be concluded. The other possibilities don’t fit because resignation is allowed, expulsion is possible (not prohibited), and there isn’t an automatic expulsion after a fixed period.
