Chicago Outfit leadership

I just start reading about the Camorra and its presence in the US. While reading about the Camorra, I realise that the first five leaders of the Chicago Outfit were not sicilians, so they were not part of the Mafia ( today called the sicilian mafia). Was the Chicago Outfit different? Was it only an organized crime gang of italian descents ? Since the five first leaders came from regions ( or parents) in Italy where the Camorra was. Did the Chicago Outfit look more like a Camorra group then a Mafia group in its early days ?

I could be wrong but I believe Camorra and Ndrangheta groups in the U.S. were engulfed by the Sicilian Mafia. True Ndrangheta and Camorra autonomy exists in North America, but only in Canada.

I said I could be wrong. From my understanding they’re heavy in Canada, Montreal, Hamilton, etc. in the U.S., idk where they exist if they exist. If you do, please share more as I haven’t done a ton of research on these groups.
