Oh the Bro Code. If you haven't read this book you definitely should, it's hilarious but also seriously informative. Most of the things on there are basic and should be instinctual to most 'bros'.
Here's some things that my boys and I do:
never, under any circumstance, should you make your buddy look like a ###### when he's trying to pick up, unless of course the lady interest is of the fugly variety which in any case you should have already prevented your friend from approaching said lady.
never rat on friends. If a buddy is doing something he shouldn't like say cheating, it's not your place or job to inform the gf. You may make your opinions known to your friend but you never rat on your friend.
take one for the team. If a friend picks up a hottie but her friend is fugly and lonely, then you step up to bat and entertain the friend so your buddy can score, seduce the fugly girl if you have to but only if your friend is almost certainly closing. and of course, the one doing the scoring has to pick up the tab as well.
if one of the boys is going through a particularly tough break up, then you drop whatever it is you're doing to be there for your friend and to provide copious amounts of alcohol. also, to encourage the friend to live life by these words of wisdom: the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
and this one is a biggie for us. NEVER, under any circumstances, sleep with a friend's ex gf. regardless of how hot she may be, or how much she may want you or how drunk you are at the time, NEVER sleep with the friend's ex.
same goes for family members, unless of course you check with the friend and go into it with the full intention of something serious. but as a general rule, sisters, cousins, moms are off limits. step moms are okay, but only if they initiate.
