You are correct, there were alot of high school fraternities on Long Island from the 1950's through the 1990's.

There was a high school clique called Alpha SIgma Phi, but despite their claims, they were not affiliated with the college Alpha Sigma Phi. The high school version of Alpha Sigma Phi had different colors and coat of arms from the college version. Also applying common logic, why would a college fraternity ever establish chapers in high schools? Not to mention that the high school Phi was a violent bunch.

In addtion to Phi, there was Omega Gamma Delta (Black and Gold) which was established in 1902 and at one time was the largest high school fraternity ever in existence with a national office.

My fraternity was Alpha Omega Theta (Green and Red). There is a book about AOT and the other high school fraternities of Long Island called
Fraternal Brotherhood

Hazing stories, fraternity brawls, keg parties, its a good book.
