Hanging Around
The way the Angels vet their prospective candidates is the step from being a "prospect" to becoming a "hang-around." Hang-arounds are people that go to some events, learn some information, go to some meetings, and get to known senior group members in an intimate way. Basically, this is the second interview process for candidates.
Subtance Abuse is Not Tolerated
Although Hells Angels may have a "tough guy" reputation, not every stereotype associated with the organization is true. In an effort to retain order and prevent the members from getting themselves into some bad situations, the Hells Angels strictly prohibit substance abuse of any kind.
