GANTON VARRIO GROVE STREET Ganton Varrio Grove Street (GVGS) or Varrio Grove Street (VGS) is a hispanic street gang based in the Ganton neighborhood of Los Santos. The gang was originally formed in the mid-1980s by a small group of local teenage slackers from the area. They began as a tagging crew, writing graffiti under different names and marking up alleys, bridges, and rooftops around their neighborhood. At the time, their activity was limited to graffiti and neighborhood reputation—they were not yet involved in serious street-level crime or gang politics. In the early 1990s, the crew began to develop more structure and organization. As they became more active, they took on the name Ganton Varrio Grove Street (GVGS). Their turf overlapped with the territory of the Grove Street Families (GSF)—a predominantly black gang that had long claimed that part of Los Santos. In the beginning, there was conflict between GVGS and the Families. GSF members often confronted GVGS, seeing them as outsiders or a disrespectful tagging crew encroaching on their block. No Beef, No Bond However, even though GVGS had a hard time going up against GSF in the beginning, they stood their ground. Over the span of a year, several fatal fights and a few shootouts broke out between the two, which led to a major increase in police presence across the neighborhood—something neither side wanted. Eventually, the OGs from both sides met up and had a sit-down. After that, they came to an understanding. There was a slight friendship between some of the older heads, but the younger generations just kept it mutual—no starting shit, no real friendships, but no beef either. GSF gave the green light for GVGS to rock the color green, and that helped ease the tension in the area and locked in GVGS’s spot in the neighborhood. As the years went on, the Ganton neighborhood became more heavily hispanic. The Grove Street Families began to decline, with many of their members either locked up, killed, or simply leaving the gang life behind. GVGS, on the other hand, continued to grow. By the early 2000s, they had taken over most of Ganton and were recognized as the dominant street gang in the neighborhood. While they had respect for the GSF’s legacy, VGS now controlled the area. During this time, GVGS operated independently and stayed unaffiliated with the Sureños, even though many other Hispanic gangs in Los Santos were connected to that larger network. When GVGS started gaining more attention and clashing with other Hispanic gangs, they were pressured by multiple Sureño sets to choose a side. At first, GVGS refused, wanting to keep their identity independent. But over time, the pressure increased, and the benefits of affiliation became clearer. Eventually, GVGS agreed to align with the Sureños, allowing them to build relationships with other Hispanic gangs while avoiding further conflict. No Green Light Around the same time in the 2000s, some of the younger members of GVGS started talking about forming cliques within the gang. They wanted to name smaller crews and push their own sets under the GVGS umbrella. But as soon as the OGs found out, they shut that idea down. They made it clear that GVGS was one hood and one identity, not a set of broken-up cliques. They reminded the younger generation how the original Grove Street Families had started to fall apart once they split into separate sets like Seville Boulevard Families and Temple Drive Families. The OGs believed that forming cliques would only bring division and eventually lead to the downfall of GVGS, so the idea was never given a green light. GVGS also became known for its strict stance on cultural identity. During the 2000s and 2010s, many Hispanic street gangs in Los Santos started copying Black street slang, style, and music. GVGS rejected this early on. The OGs from the neighborhood, many of whom had grown up together and shared strong cultural values, pressured younger members to stick to old school Chicano slang, street code, and identity. The gang made it clear that importing Black gang culture was not acceptable. Members were expected to speak like homies from the varrio—not like someone copying another culture By 2025, GVGS remains a small but firmly established Sureño gang with deep roots in Ganton. They are known for their loyalty to their neighborhood, their green color, and the use of the Green Bay Packers “G” symbol to represent Grove. They maintain a traditional street presence and continue to operate under the original values passed down by their OGs.

RECRUITMENT. Allow us to introduce ourselves; on behalf of all of the ALL SIDE 40 CRIP leadership and high council we'd like to hold ourselves up to a pretty high standard of roleplay and we say that in the humblest way possible. Instead of instantly trying to roleplay with the faction, it is recommended that you join our Discord server for a more in-depth look behind the faction's infrastructure and how we operate as a whole. Keep in mind that before making your character, the community is the key. We're portraying a street-gang within a community, however, if you are looking for something higher to tie it all together, this is where our emphasis on our community development and interaction comes into play. Our ultimate goal is to portray a realistic street gang with a community like atmosphere within the Western Jefferson (Vermont Square) neighborhood. It is imperative that you check it frequently to stay up to date with the conversations and topics that are present revolving the faction within the Discord. If you're not serious about role-playing with us and don't have any quality role-play to contribute to the faction, then don't even bother joining because you will be weeded out and removed without a warning. The faction itself consists of a majority of American-time zoned members (GMT -4 to GMT -8), however, there are quite a few members in the European time zone (GMT 0), so people should keep in mind that you will probably catch people in-game no matter what time zone you are in. Every day is different, so our "peak" times cannot be specified. You will most likely catch more members online during the nighttime and sometimes during the afternoon due to school and work (between 2:00 PM and 12:00 PM).

We up!
