Membership
Inquiries
We are a small club of Marine bikers. We met under
the colors of another organization and, feeling there
were endemic flaws which threatened the cohesion -
or brotherhood - of the same, formed the Proud Few
MC.
In
order to join this club, you have to ride with us;
be nominated; and survive two membership votes. We
are indeed a small club, and are currently located
in the Maryland/Northern Virginia areas only. We have
had a couple of inquiries from former Marines in various
regions, looking for information on how to join, and
we had to politely turn them away.
This
isn't an Internet club. That is, we will never take
an application via email and simply mail a set of
colors to the interested individual. That's not what
this lifestyle, or this club, is all about. If you
want to roll with us, you have to be known to us -
we have to be comfortable that you are as family to
each and every Brother that wears the patch.
That's
not to say that if you like what you see in these
pages, that you won't be welcome to introduce yourself
and get to know us - quite the contrary, actually.
You can still contact us through the link at the bottom
of each page. We'll still be glad to meet you and
maybe share a round of beer. But do not expect to
be invited to join through this medium. That's not
the way the Proud Few rolls.

Prospective
Chapters
We
have received several inquiries from folks across
the country about starting prospective chapters. The
PFMC will approve prospective detachments and chapters
under certain circumstances, the first of these being
that the founding member must be a Patch Holder in
the PFMC. A Patch Holder who moves outside the area
of his Mother Chapter may form a PFMC detachment in
his area by sponsoring new members in accordance with
our bylaws. In the event an entire group wishes to
patch over, the Prospective Detachment or Chapter
will remain in a probationary status for no less than
one year.
Independent
requests to start a prospect chapter or detachment
will usually be politely refused. This is due, in
part, to the sensitivities associated with starting
new clubs – especially in those areas where
there are multiple Veterans MCs already in existence.
The PFMC recommends that if you wish to form a club
you approach the clubs that exist in your area and
request guidance before soliciting for Prospect Chapter
status.
