Unanimous Vote For Full Patch Membership
To become a big member of the team, a prospect must receive a vote from other members already registered in the club. The charter is responsible for voting in new members. However, before the vote is done, the prospects go to the different groups in the area and let themselves be known and how dedicated they are.
Once voted into your charter and fully accepted, prospects will receive their vest with the club’s emblem, the death head logo, and other times (where necessary), at the initiation ceremony. When they become members, they would classify it as “being patched.”
The “Filthy Few” and “Dequiallo” Patch
Tony Thompson wrote a book titled Gangs, where he noted members can earn numerous patches for completing certain roles. One of the patches is the Nazi-style SS lightning bolts that carry the words “Filthy Few.”. Thompson highlighted that this patch is earned by members who already committed a crime for the club, which includes murder or is willing to do so.
The next patch he highlighted is called the “Dequiallo.” This patch is given to members who have had a violent encounter with law enforcement while they were arrested or getting arrested. A lot of other patches are given that are secretly worn by members to highlight just how much they are willing to sacrifice for the club.
