Fraternal Brotherhood: The Story of Alpha Omega Theta Fraternity Inc.

by Frederick M. Gross

Fraternal Brotherhood is a book by author Frederick M Gross that looks back into wild an crazy days when fraternities ruled Long Island high schools. This is the story of the high school fraternity Alpha Omega Theta and its sixty year history. Glimpse back in time to the innocent 1940’s and 1950’s when fraternities were organized as social athletic clubs. Read accounts of the hazing that took place and how it became increasingly more horrific and brutal over the decades. See how the fraternities changed in 1970’s through the 1990’s, when they were transformed from social athletic clubs into violent street gangs with fancy Greek letter names and were banned from high schools across Long Island.

Take a journey through the decades. Read the story of Alpha Omega Theta from the recollections of the brothers who lived it as told by Frederick M Gross. From elegant black tie ballroom dances in Brooklyn to backyard keg parties on Long Island, read about the hazing, the fights, and the brawls that degenerated from athletic rivalry into all out warfare between the different fraternities. This book is a look back at the days lost in time when young men fraternized and formed the bonds of brotherhood.
