Sixty years after Alpha Omega Theta began in the basement of a Brooklyn high school student, after four years of website development, two fraternal reunions, and a year of writing and research, AOT member Frederick M. Gross takes readers on a long wild ride through the decadesâfrom formal black-tie ballroom dances in Brooklyn to backyard keg parties on Long Island, to all-out street warfare with other fraternities. Fraternal Brotherhood chronicles the history of a fraternity spanning six decades and multiple chapters in the U.S.A and Canada.
When author Frederick M Gross began his âdoggingâ days in Oceanside, New York, in February of 1978, Alpha Omega Theta was already a powerful brotherhood with multiple chapters in New York and Connecticut. There was a lot of turmoil and violence involving fraternities in the 1970âs-90âs. Fraternities were banned in Long Island high schools and declared to be gangs by local police. Public perception was negative, but Frederick M Gross states with pride that Alpha Omega Theta Fraternity turned young men into outstanding citizensâwith a combined roster of doctors, lawyers, accountants, contractors, businessmen, proprietors, military men, athletes politicians, and even Hollywood stars.
Fred Gross delivers a remarkable history of the fraternityâs humble beginnings and violent end. After the fraternity began in 1946, the foundersâ were determined to spread Alpha Omega Theta to the world. Two years after their founding, the brotherhood had become a non-profit corporation with a rapidly expanding membership roster. Today, the fraternitiesâ alumni frequently meet and plan Alpha Omega Thetaâs place in the 21st century. They just had their Grand Chapter Reunion in 2007 which was attended by two hundred alumni spanning six decades. For more information, log on to www.FraternalBrotherhood. com.
