I think that we are all human beings - gang members, Greeks, everyone. As such, we have a natural need to affiliate with others. This need is instinctive and psychological, and has existed since the beginning of time.
Some of us choose to do it by aligning ourselves with groups that have worth and tradition and social value and concern for others.
Others choose to do it for lesser reasons.
The existence of this need does not equate fraternities and sororities with gangs... it only serves to exemplify that we are all put on this Earth in the same way with the same needs. It is only how we choose to gratify those needs that makes us different.
