Unfortunately, the above answer is incorrect. It is the social context of the group and the socioeconomics of each group. Not the violence or the crime.

Gang life gets a lot of 'coverage' in movies, music, etc., people who havent live that life hear about it a little and then think they know it all.  \n\nThats why you see phoney ass kids (typically white) who come from good neighborhoods claiming to be from this gang or the other, wearing colors, and kicking their s hi t to  the side, and thats why they end up getting killed.  hope that helps.

hazing is when you go through intitiation rites for a fraternity/sorority. usually whatever you're doing is very difficult, embarassing, and bad for your health. my uncle had to go through "hell day". they got all the new guys really drunk, only let them eat onions all day, and had them blindfolded for most of the day. all these dudes were walking around drunk and blindfolded going "i'm hungry, where's the onions?" one guy peed in the hamper thinking it was the toilet.\n\nbut what you're seeing on the news is more severe. theres been cases where the students were forced to wrestle in human feces, do copious amounts of drugs/drinking, or other dangerous/illegal activities.

that is a very difficult question.  It really depends because both are organized in a sense and both do things that are illegal; however terrorism is more of a fear tactic used to change the veiws of government officials or affect the decisions that they are making.  Terrorism main point is to make a statement, while organized crime, at least to me, wants to stay underground in a sense that they want to run their operations without getting noticed.

Well, needless to say that favortism is bad and illegal. Fraternization is illegal. Put those two together, and BAM!... you have a new boss.

Masons are a Secret Society originally developed in Europe in the late middle ages. They required secrecy and ritual in order to ensure their secrets were not divulged to the authorities (ie. The Roman Catholic Church) who would persecute them. They are also the foundation for most modern University Fraternities.

They were never cool and never will be. The only people who want to be in gangs are losers who are not man enough to handle their own lives by themselves and have to rely on a group to protect them. Snoop Dogg is the biggest loser there ever was.

Gangs have been in existence for as long as there have been inhabitants of this world. The word thug dates back to India in the year 1200 AD and it refers to a gang of criminals (Thugz) that roamed the country pillaging towns in their course. These Thugz had their own symbols, hand signs, rituals and slang. In the United States, we grew up with tales of our own form of thugs like pirates and gangsters, therefore, gangs, undoubtedly, are not a new concept. \n\nSo...no...I don't believe that COlors "created" more gangs. I think circumstances like socio-economic issues and lack of adult guidance helps to create gangs. \n\nDuvall? He's cool. He should go to sleep every night with a clear conscious.

Alpha Kappa Alpha and Alpha Phi Alpha are brothers and sisters in the sense that there was a commonality among our early members.  We are not constitutionaly bound one to another.  As far as Alpha Kappa Alpha and Kappa Alpha Psi on some campuses the call themselves brother and sisters because of commonalities in their sayings:  AKA:  Pretty Girls,  KAPsi:  Pretty Boys.......Pretty Girls Like Pretty Boys.\n\nNeither of our organizations our bound together by our constitutions.  The only group that is:  Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta......ie you may see their name written:  Zeta Phi Beta Sigma.

Oh come on! Italians had the mafia (a much organized gang) Puerto Ricans have gangs, and don't forget the Irish. Even white gangs  have existed, remember the ones with white sheets and white hoods) that went around killing Black Americans.  Gangs is not=Mexicans. Steal stuff? hey know lots of white collars who steal stuff (ENRON) And talking about illegal, how about all the businesses  illegally hiring illegals in the first place.  What an immature argument you put forth here.

I call them thugs, SS, Nazis and gangsta myself.  Is that the same as goons.  Repugs qualify for whichever is worse.

I think you need to look for groups that exist for that purpose.  I know there are some, however I don't know the exact names of the organizations.  Do some online research or move the hell away.  It all is dependent on the gang you are in, the resources you have, and the way you go about it...of course that is a total outsiders opinion.
