Hmmm... oh yes, they had them at my high school. There were four groups, each at its own level of eliteness, and you had to be asked in your 8th grade year.
They printed t-shirts for different events, did some community service, held formals and balls, an annual sisterhood retreat, a "greek week" of sorts, etc. The pledging process lasted an entire school year (rather than 6-8 weeks), and the girls would come to school and to football games in ridiculous costumes the week before initiation.
These groups have been in our town for generations and generations, and a lot of the girls end up going greek once they get to college. The high school sororities are sponsored by matronly "study clubs," which is probably my town's equivalent to a junior league.
