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.

Semper Fi,

PROUD FEW MC

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.

Semper Fi,

PROUD FEW MC
