I read a book on gangs and gang initiations a while ago, and for the most part Gangs don't really want to announce their presence with an initiation of a new member so for the most part the initiations are internal.
The exceptions to that are
The Aryan Brotherhood requires you to kill a rival gang member
For the most part initiations are internal
The Bloods with the buck 50, the Latin Kings make you put up your girlfriend to be gang raped, oh and you have to kill another rival gang member. The Hells Angels make you bathe in poop. The Knights Templar Drug Cartel makes you eat a human heart. The Crips have the jump in.
A initiation where you go on a random stabbing spree would be pretty stupid and pointless, and gangs aren't that stupid or pointless.
