Ivy League, You are correct. In the old days, The Outfit never had a making ceremony. In Fact, Giancana thought it was silly and even made fun of it on an F.B.I. secret recording. A man was considered made with a handshake, party thrown in his honor, and most importantly, being PUT IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING. Everyone knew that this man had basically risen from a soldier to a made guy. Made guys are in charge of things and have soldiers who work under them. Joey Auippa, introduced the making ceremony. If the Outfit, in 1975, had 240 or so guys who actually BELONGED to one of the 6 crews, maybe 25%, or 60 let's say, were made guys. The Outfit has downsized to 4 crews. The Outfit was NEVER divided into 2 groups. The Outfit is ONE group of 4 Street Crews, much like a Cartel. The dominant Group is Elmwood Park. The other 3 Crews are partnered in one way or another with Elmwood Park. John DiFronzo, Pete DiFronzo & Marco D'Amico all belong to Elmwood Park. Joe Andriacchi is more associated with the Grand Ave. Crew since Joey Lombardo is gone. Andriacchi and Lombardo are cousins. Also, Grand Ave. is almost an extension of Elmwood Park, (even though it is a different Crew), because Both DiFronzo's, Lombardo & Andriacchi all came from Grand Ave. In the final tally, The Grand Ave. men ended up dominating the Outfit over the Taylor St. men (Giancana's old Crew) when Auippa (Cicero) took over with Cerone ( Elmwood Park) in 1970. Cerone & Accardo also both came from Grand Ave. Auippa was born and raised in Melrose Park.
