Removed from the fraternity and not working (3,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
out of order
'not working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'removed from the fraternity' is the wordplay.
'removed' becomes 'out' (taken out).
'from' becomes 'of' (of can mean from or belonging to).
'the fraternity' becomes 'order' (I've seen this before).
'out'+'of'+'order'='OUT OF ORDER'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for out of order that I've seen before include "excommunicated?" , "Letters in an anagram are" , "Unfrocked monk is" , "(Mechanism) broken" , "Bust - behaving badly" .)
