Serpents Initiation

Serpents Initiation is an event hosted by the Southside Serpents. It is a right of passage, where young Serpents have to pass all four tests given to them, in order for them to officially become a gang member.

The tradition is based off of four tested given, the first being, every Serpent must take care of Hot Dog. The second test, they must know all six of the laws of being a Serpent. The third being, they must retrieve the knife from a rattlesnake, showing no fear. And the finale test, where it gets extreme, as they have to get beaten down by every single one of the Serpent members onto the ground, while they later wait for them to arise as one of them now. As they show a great sign of respect to the one chosen, as they had to prove themselves to be worth of being on of them, willing to take a beating for them and die for them, as they would for each other.
