And unless you ASK her/him specifically "do you have an illegal activity in your past" (and even then they might deny it) you'll never know. Of course you would like to think if they are pursuing membership into your organization they have left that behind but its not always the case. The individuals I was referring to in my original post give NO indication that they had a shady past. One was even president of their chapter and had a 3.9 GPA! One was still active in the gang and one gave it up...

I think what they were saying is that many orgs go to a LOT of trouble to do the best they can when it comes to screening a person for such offenses. Obviously no one knows with 100% accuracy, but you do the best you can. Even people hiring someone for a job can make a mistake.
The original question was not "Do you screen for gang members", it was "Would you take a gang member?". I think you have to make the assumption that you know they're in a gang, then answer the question.
