I would guess that no BGLO wants a film utilizing their symbols to be associated with anything that could potentially reinforce this negative perception.
A lot of BGLO members used to be in gangs. Some still are. That's life.

I don't see how this film would reinforce an image of Greeks as legalized gangs or sway potential members. I think political parties are legalized gangs but that hasn't stopped folks from affiliating.
