Ponyboy calls the other gangs more rough and organized than his.
The two main gangs in The Outsiders were The Greaser and The Socs (Socials). Socs grew up with rich families while the greasers were born dirt poor in working class families.
Johnny Cade did not choose to be a Greaser; he was born one. It was not in his hands to live his life like a hoodlum. However, one has to have great smartness and knowledge to achieve a life like that of a Soc.COME ON, READ THE BOOK! It is people like you who go to summer school!
they have a rumble(fight) usually hoods and greasers on one side and the socs on the other side.
It is all about two rival gangs that get in fights alot and have alot of beef. The Socs are one of the gangs and they are really rich and have nice clothes and cars the Greasers are the really poor gangs that has run down clothes and cars. The two gangs settle the huge fight between them by have a rumble. The Greasers win and the Socs run away after most of their gang members have been knocked out.

a two man fight
a two-man fight.
There are several differences. Most importantly, "regular gangs" usually contain a hierarchy-- an obvious leader, and those those follow that leader and specific rules within the hierarchy Those types of gangs usually focus on violence or drugs for the main reason of being a gang-- more power in numbers. If they were to get into a fight, their gang members would back them up; but more often than not, those people aren't really friends with each other. They are just in the gang for the purpose of safety in numbers, or for the sake of violence or drugs. Also, in a regular gang, everyone is replacable-- if a member dies, someone takes their place to do their job. "Greaser gangs" are more like families. They are groups of friends and siblings who hang out together. They also have a 'safety in numbers' complex, though they depend on each other more than that. Most of the "Greaser gangs", as described in S. E. Hinton's "The Outsiders", are usually poorer and come from broken homes, so they depend on each other for food, shelter and comfort, as well as protection from Socs and rival gangs. Some of the "Greaser gangs" focus more on violence, like Tim Shepard's gang, but the gang most often referred to in "The Outsiders", or "The Curtis Gang", is mostly focussed on self-preservation. They all honestly care about each other, as was described in the book, and that is the biggest difference between "Greaser gangs" and "regular gangs". They care about what happens to them, and no one is replacable, like in a regular gang.

To minimize the danger between both gangs
some do. Many different gangs out there.
SE Hinton was not a Greaser. She was the author of the novel "The Outsiders," which featured two rival gangs known as the Greasers and the Socs. Hinton drew inspiration from events in her own life and her observations of social dynamics growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Girl gangs were mostly out of family problems and guy gangs were from other problems like, lack or full of money, outside appearence, or from different level of crimes.
