“Unveiling the Brotherhood: Discover the Secret Rules Every Hells Angel Must Obey!”
That’s because once you join, you’re in for life. Cultivating a relationship with the other members of the charter takes time. The only thing that can determine if you’re truly ready to join is if the rest of the group votes you in.
Before You’re In, You’re A “Prospect”
According to investigative journalist Julian Sher, those looking to join a Hells Angel charter start as a “hang around.” As the name implies, hang arounds are bikers who get invited to some Hells Angels events so both parties can get a feel for one another.
Before you’re officially a part of the group, you’re called a “prospect,” a name that gets stitched into your vest. These tentative members run errands that Sher describes as “gopher work.”
Their Vests Are Treated As Sacred
The easiest way to recognize a Hells Angel is by the insignia on their vest. When a prospect becomes a full-fledged member, they get a vest with the famous logo and name on the back. Julian Sher explains that these vests are considered sacred to members.
If one of the bikers gets arrested, he’ll hand his vest to a fellow member to avoid tainting it in jail. If they get hurt and need an emergency procedure, they’ll do whatever possible to prevent the vest from being cut or torn off.
They Have A Dress Code
The rules vary slightly from charter to charter, but there’s generally a dress code that members follow. One member told Inside The Angels that he could only wear black jeans, shirts, and vests when he joined.
