a few months back, i saw a documentary about gangs. the focus was mainly on female gangs and i was shocked to hear these women speak about why they would want to be in a gang. personally, i was thinking why would these girls do these terrible things...what could they possible get from being a part of a gang. then the women explained that they were searching for....sisterhood...someone to be there always...family...support...acceptance... so many of those are reasons that people tend to join glos. as for gang initiations, this particular documentary highlighted several different activities. some of which included the "members" being abusive to the "initiates" as well as making the "initiates" perform acts such as killing or stealing. i can't imagine that at any time in history as part of a pledge program for a glo, new members were asked to kill someone else. it is very interesting to parallel gangs and glos.
