Does anybody know how often a new member of Congress does not finish their first term?

While this linked information won't address the first term issue of Members of Congress being expelled, it does address the issue of members being expelled. It will make it clear how rare it is also. Another words, not gonna happen > IMO.

Reference issue:
Congressional historians and political science professors said yesterday's House decision to expel Rep. James A. Traficant Jr., nine-term Ohio Democrat, was a rare occurrence and one that is not taken lightly.

Check it out. It's interesting. LINK
