The Proud Boys have levels of recognition that include:
1. Publicly declaring yourself a Proud Boy.
2. Being beat up by other members until you name five kinds of breakfast cereal. This degree also includes a vow to stop masturbating. 
3. Getting a Proud Boy tattoo.
4. Engaging in physical violence  – McInnes the founder of the Proud Boys has waffled somewhat about this level. It is explained as (1) a level achieved when you engage in a fight for the cause and (2) an honorary level for “service”.
