Lt. David Burgess of the Fort Worth Police Department, a former officer of the department's Gang Intelligence Unit, said gang members are initiated in one of three ways.
First, they can be "jumped in," or beaten. Second, they might be "blessed in" - their father or brother is an original gangster in the particular gang. And the third initiation - "sexed in" - requires a prospective female member to roll dice and have sex with the corresponding number of male gang members.
