FIRST NINE:

First Nine are Senior Patched Members of the Club. They are held in the highest of standards among their brothers. Therefore their seat on the Executive Committee allows them a single vote to be given during Club Meetings. They are also the ones that ensure that other Club Members are given the orders set forth by the committee from these meetings. They also can bring to the table concerns, questions or even ideas that brothers within the club can not voice at the Club Meetings.

 

REVERED PATCHED MEMBERS:

Revered Patched Members are senior patched members of the Club. They are held in high standards among their brothers. They have been with the Club for a long time and may have even served on the committee themselves. They have done much for the Club. Whether spilled blood (theirs or others). Done time for the Club or have been in a good standing. Most if not all revered Patched Members have sponsored probates on their road to become brothers.

 

PATCHED MEMBERS:

Patched members are junior to mid-level members of the Clubs. They could be members that have just recently earned their Patch or are brothers that are well on their way to becoming a Revered Patched Member. These brothers are the heart and soul. They carry out any and all orders issued down from the committee with up most loyalty and dedication to the Club and to their brothers.

 

PROBATE/PROSPECT:

Probates are the most junior members.They have to earn not only their Patch but the respect of the brothers of the Club. Keep your mouth shut, never discuss club business with anyone. In reality the Probates are at the bottom of the chain. To be really good probate; learn all the members names, occupations, hobbies, etc. etc. Make yourself available for anything. Be there for the Club and eventually? They'll be there for you.

 

OLD LADIES:

Old Ladies are senior women of the Club. If a woman is an Old Lady that means she belongs to someone. DO NOT FUCK AROUND WITH A BROTHER'S OLD LADY. Members are responsible for their old ladies. Members must state their intention to ask someone to be their Old Lady and a majority vote must be held and approved beforehand.  Old Ladies are assigned a property patch that reads  "Property of (MC Name) (Biker Nickname)" to attach to her own leathers.  If she will not be wearing leathers, the member is expected to get his Old Lady something that says the same thing - weather it be a necklace, bracelet, etc. The Old Ladies are the ones that assigned tasks/jobs for the Mamas of the Club to perform around the Club House or other businesses that the Club may own or operate out of.

 

HANG AROUNDS:

Hang Arounds can be either male or female.  These are individuals who have ties with the MC, but are not a biker themselves or an Old Lady or Mama.  Hang Arounds typically have a biker who "sponsors" them with the club; members who sponsor a hang around are responsible for their behavior and actions.  Hang Arounds can be friends, family, business associates, etc.  They are able to attend parties, events, and gatherings, but are not able to know club business (except where it possibly pertains to their own business ventures), cannot attend church meetings, and typically cannot get involved in club runs/business.

 

MAMAS:

A Mama is a female that is property of all Club Members. She is expected to bring money into the club - whether by giving a percentage of any business she owns or pay monthly dues. She is available to all Club members to wash bikes, keep the Clubhouse clean, and meet any other needs a Club member may have. Do the job well and just maybe she'll be noticed by a member. Who knows she might end up becoming an Old Lady herself one day.
