(March 2012) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> In the American Mafia, a made man is a fully initiated member of the Mafia . To become "made", an associate first has to be sponsored by another made man . An inductee will be required to take the oath of Omertà, the mafia code of silence . After the induction ceremony the associate becomes a "made man", and holds the rank of soldier (Italian: soldato) in the Mafia hierarchy . </P> <P> Other common names for members include "man of honor" (Italian: uomo d'onore), "one of us", "friend of ours", "good fella", and "wiseguy"; although the last two can also apply to non-initiated Mafia associates who work closely with the Mafia, rather than just official "made men". Earning or making one's "bones" or "button" or becoming a "button man" for the Mafia is usually synonymous with becoming a "made man". </P>
