All Greasers take some pride in being Greasers because they all take care of each other. Greasers are proud to belong to their group because they look out for each other. Darry, Soda, and Pony always left the door to their house open, even when they slept, because Darry wanted to provide shelter for boys who might have had nowhere else to go.
Soda accepts that he belongs with the Greasers and does not hesitate to rush to the aid of another member. He joins in on the rumbles against the Socs and enjoys the companionship of his friends. Soda is not hung up on being a Greaser; instead, he ignores it altogether and embraces his life as an individual and a member of the group.
It wasn't fair for the Socs to have everything. We were as good as they were; it wasn't our fault we were greasers. I couldn't just take it or leave it, like Two-Bit, or ignore it and love life anyway, like Sodapop, or harden myself beyond caring, like Dally, or actually enjoy it, like Tim Shepard (Ch. 3).
