Clarification about my original comment: you will get kicked out of the Mages Guild if you have started (but not completed) the Mages Guild questline, and steal the arrow in the "Arrow of Extrication" quest for the Thieves Guild. This is a bug caused by Fathis Aren attacking you for entering the locked room with the arrow, because the game mistakenly thinks you attacked first. This can be avoided if you have completed the Mages Guild questline and are therefore the Arch-Mage, in which case the room is not locked and he does not become hostile.
