The Complete Guide to Hazing Lawsuits & Liability for Hale County, Alabama Families

If Your Child Was Hazed at an Alabama University, You’re Not Alone

A parent in Hale County gets a late-night phone call. Their freshman, so excited to join a campus organization at the University of Alabama or Auburn University just months ago, is now in a local emergency room. The story comes out in fragments: forced drinking, humiliating tasks, extreme exhaustion, pressure to stay silent. You feel fear, anger, and complete helplessness facing a powerful national fraternity and a university hours away. What do you do next?

Right now, in Texas, our firm is fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in the country. We represent Leonel Bermudez in his $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston and the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter. The allegations are harrowing: a “pledge fanny pack” filled with humiliating items, forced consumption of milk and hot dogs until vomiting, being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding,” and extreme physical workouts that led to rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure. This case proves that hazing isn’t just “boys being boys”—it’s systematic abuse that causes permanent harm, and it requires serious legal action.

This comprehensive guide is written specifically for parents and families in Hale County, Greensboro, Moundville, and throughout Alabama’s Black Belt region who need answers about hazing. Whether your child attends the University of Alabama, Auburn University, or any college across the South, you deserve to understand your legal rights and options.

Hazing in 2025: What Alabama Families Need to Recognize

Beyond the Stereotypes: Modern Hazing Methods

Hazing has evolved far beyond simple initiation pranks. Today’s hazing often involves sophisticated psychological manipulation and digital control that can be difficult for parents to recognize until serious harm occurs.

Alcohol and Substance Hazing
The most dangerous and common form involves forced consumption. This isn’t just “party drinking”—it’s systematic coercion where pledges must:

Participate in drinking games with punishment for wrong answers
Consume entire bottles of liquor during “Big/Little” nights
Drink unknown mixtures or dangerous quantities
Use drugs as part of initiation rituals

Physical Hazing Endurance Tests
Modern physical hazing is often disguised as “conditioning” or “team building”:

Extreme calisthenics sessions (hundreds of push-ups, wall-sits until collapse)
“Smokings” or punishment workouts for minor infractions
Sleep deprivation through all-night “study sessions” or mandatory meetings
Exposure to extreme temperatures without proper clothing
Paddling or beating traditions that leave bruises but are hidden under clothing

Psychological and Digital Control
The most insidious forms involve 24/7 psychological manipulation:

Group Chat Tyranny: Pledges must respond instantly to messages at all hours
Social Media Humiliation: Forced to post embarrassing content or participate in degrading “challenges”
Isolation Tactics: Cutting off contact with non-members, family, and old friends
Fear-Based Compliance: Threats of expulsion, social ostracization, or physical harm for non-compliance

Sexualized and Degrading Rituals
Some of the most traumatic hazing involves sexual humiliation:

Forced nudity or partial nudity
Simulated sexual acts as “traditions”
Degrading costumes or positions
Recording and sharing compromising images

Where Hazing Happens in Alabama

While fraternities and sororities receive most attention, hazing occurs across campus organizations:

Greek Life Organizations

Interfraternity Council (IFC) Fraternities – Traditional social fraternities
Panhellenic Sororities – Social sororities (yes, sororities haze too)
National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) – Historically Black fraternities and sororities
Multicultural Greek Council – Cultural and identity-based organizations

Athletic Teams

Varsity sports programs
Club sports teams
Cheerleading and spirit squads
Marching bands and performance groups

Military and Leadership Programs

ROTC units
Corps of Cadets programs
Leadership honor societies
Student government organizations

Special Interest Clubs

Religious organizations
Academic clubs
Service organizations
Tradition-based groups

National Hazing Patterns: What Alabama Families Can Learn

The same fraternities and patterns that cause harm across the country operate at Alabama universities. Understanding these national histories helps families recognize that their experience isn’t isolated.

Alcohol Poisoning Deaths: A Repeated Script

Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State University, Pi Kappa Alpha (2021)
A 20-year-old pledge was forced to drink an entire bottle of whiskey during a “Big/Little” event. He died from alcohol poisoning. His family received a $10 million settlement ($7 million from Pi Kappa Alpha national, $3 million from the university). This fraternity operates chapters nationwide, including in Alabama.

Max Gruver – LSU, Phi Delta Theta (2017)
During a “Bible study” drinking game, Max was forced to drink when answering questions incorrectly. He died with a blood alcohol content of 0.495%. This case led to Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act making hazing a felony. Phi Delta Theta has chapters throughout Alabama.

Andrew Coffey – Florida State University, Pi Kappa Phi (2017)
A pledge died from acute alcohol poisoning during a “Big Brother Night” where pledges were given handles of hard liquor. Pi Kappa Phi chapters exist at multiple Alabama universities.

Physical Hazing with Catastrophic Injuries

Danny Santulli – University of Missouri, Phi Gamma Delta (2021)
An 18-year-old pledge suffered permanent, severe brain damage after being forced to drink excessive alcohol during a “pledge dad reveal” night. He cannot walk, talk, or see and requires 24/7 care for life. His family settled with 22 defendants. This demonstrates how non-fatal hazing can still destroy lives.

Texas A&M University, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (2021)
Two pledges alleged they were covered in substances including industrial-strength cleaner, raw eggs, and spit, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries. They sued the fraternity for $1 million.

What These Cases Mean for Alabama Families

These national patterns prove:

The same fraternities operating in Alabama have caused deaths and catastrophic injuries elsewhere
Universities often know about dangerous traditions but fail to act decisively
Multi-million dollar settlements are possible when families pursue accountability
Legal action can drive reform that protects future students

Hazing Reality at Alabama Universities

University of Alabama – Tuscaloosa

Campus Culture and Greek Life
The University of Alabama hosts one of the largest Greek systems in the nation, with approximately 11,000 students participating in fraternities and sororities. For Hale County families, Tuscaloosa is a common destination for college-bound students, making understanding UA’s Greek culture essential.

Documented Hazing Incidents
While specific public records may be limited due to settlement confidentiality, national patterns involving fraternities present at UA tell a concerning story:

Sigma Alpha Epsilon: Faced a traumatic brain injury lawsuit at the University of Alabama in 2023 where a pledge alleged severe hazing
Multiple IFC fraternities have faced temporary suspensions for hazing violations in recent years
Alcohol-related incidents requiring hospitalization occur with concerning frequency during pledge periods

UA’s Hazing Policy and Reporting
The University prohibits hazing under its Student Code of Conduct and Alabama state law. Reporting channels include:

Office of Student Conduct
UA Police Department
Anonymous reporting systems

How Hale County Families Should Approach UA Cases
If your student at UA experiences hazing:

Document immediately: UA’s large Greek system means evidence disappears quickly as chapters circle wagons
Understand jurisdiction: Cases may involve Tuscaloosa PD, UA Police, and multiple court systems
Recognize institutional dynamics: UA has strong incentives to protect its Greek system reputation

Auburn University

Greek Life and Tradition Culture
Auburn’s Greek system is deeply woven into campus tradition, with approximately 6,500 students participating. For families in eastern Hale County, Auburn represents a common college choice with strong in-state loyalty.

Historical Hazing Context
Auburn has faced public hazing incidents including:

Fraternity suspensions for alcohol-related hazing violations
Athletic team disciplinary actions for initiation misconduct
Ongoing challenges with off-campus housing where much hazing occurs

Auburn’s Response Framework
The university maintains anti-hazing policies and educational programs, but like many institutions, faces challenges with off-campus conduct and chapter secrecy.

Practical Considerations for Auburn Families

Much hazing occurs in off-campus houses not owned by the university
Timing is critical: Evidence disappears within days as national organizations advise chapters
Medical resources: East Alabama Medical Center often treats hazing injuries from Auburn

Other Alabama Universities Hale County Families Consider

University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB)

Growing Greek life presence
Urban campus dynamics differ from traditional college towns
Medical campus means serious injuries often treated on-site

University of North Alabama

Smaller Greek system but similar risk patterns
More regional draw for Hale County students

Community Colleges and Regional Campuses
Even institutions without traditional Greek life can have hazing in:

Athletic teams
Academic clubs
Performance groups

Alabama Hazing Law vs. Texas: What You Need to Know

Alabama’s Hazing Statutes

Alabama Code § 16-1-23 makes hazing a criminal offense:

Key Provisions:

Hazing is defined as “any willful action taken or situation created which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health of any student”
Applies to any organization associated with an educational institution
Includes both physical brutality and forced consumption of substances
Consent is not a defense – Alabama law explicitly states this

Criminal Penalties:

Class C Misdemeanor for basic hazing violations
Enhanced penalties when alcohol/drugs are involved
Organizational penalties including fines up to $5,000 per violation

Comparison to Texas Law:
While Texas has more detailed statutory language (Chapter 37 of the Education Code), both states:

Make hazing a criminal offense
Reject “consent” as a defense
Allow organizational liability
Provide some protections for good-faith reporters

Federal Law Overlay

Regardless of state law, these federal frameworks apply in Alabama:

Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024)
Requires colleges receiving federal aid to:

Improve hazing incident reporting
Implement prevention education
Maintain public hazing data (phasing in through 2026)

Title IX Application
When hazing involves:

Sexual harassment or assault
Gender-based discrimination
Hostile environment based on sex

Clery Act Requirements
Universities must report certain crimes occurring on or near campus, which can include hazing-related:

Assaults
Alcohol violations
Drug offenses

Civil Liability in Alabama

Beyond criminal charges, hazing victims can pursue civil lawsuits for:

Negligence Claims

Failure to supervise
Inadequate policies or enforcement
Negligent hiring/training of advisors

Intentional Torts

Assault and battery
False imprisonment
Intentional infliction of emotional distress

Organizational Liability

Fraternity/sorority national headquarters
Local chapter corporations
University as sponsor/supervisor

Insurance Coverage Challenges
A critical battle in hazing cases involves insurance companies arguing:

“Intentional acts” exclusions
Lack of coverage for criminal conduct
Policy limits and coverage triggers

Why National Fraternity Histories Matter for Alabama Cases

The Foreseeability Argument

When a fraternity chapter at an Alabama university repeats the same dangerous conduct that caused deaths at other campuses, that establishes foreseeability – the national organization knew or should have known this would happen.

Pi Kappa Alpha National Pattern

Stone Foltz death at Bowling Green (2021)
David Bogenberger death at Northern Illinois (2012) – $14 million settlement
Multiple other alcohol poisoning incidents nationwide
This establishes that Pi Kappa Alpha nationals knew about deadly “Big/Little” drinking traditions

Sigma Alpha Epsilon National Pattern

Multiple hazing deaths nationally leading to elimination of pledge program in 2014
Traumatic brain injury lawsuit at University of Alabama (2023)
Chemical burns lawsuit at Texas A&M (2021)
Assault lawsuit at UT Austin (2024)
This establishes that SAE nationals knew about physical hazing risks

Phi Delta Theta National Pattern

Max Gruver death at LSU (2017)
Multiple other alcohol hazing incidents
This establishes that Phi Delta Theta nationals knew about “drinking game” hazing

How This Strengthens Alabama Cases

When we represent Alabama families, we:

Subpoena national fraternity records showing prior incidents
Demonstrate pattern evidence that the harm was foreseeable
Overcome “rogue chapter” defenses by showing national knowledge
Support punitive damages claims by showing reckless disregard

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence That Matters

Digital Evidence Collection

Group Messaging Platforms

GroupMe: Most common for fraternity communication
iMessage/SMS group texts
WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram
Discord servers
Fraternity-specific apps

How to Preserve Properly:

Capture full threads with sender names and timestamps visible
Don’t crop excessively – show authentic context
Save in native resolution
Back up immediately to cloud storage or email to yourself

Social Media Evidence

Instagram stories and DMs (disappear after 24 hours)
Snapchat (screenshot immediately)
TikTok videos and comments
Facebook posts and Messenger
Location tags and timestamps

Medical Documentation Protocol

Critical Steps:

Seek medical care immediately – delay can be used against you
Tell providers you were hazed so it’s documented in records:
- “I was forced to drink by my fraternity”
- “I was beaten during initiation”
- “I was deprived of sleep for days”
Request complete records:
- ER reports and ambulance records
- Lab results (blood alcohol, kidney function, toxicology)
- Imaging studies (X-rays, CT scans)
- Discharge instructions
Follow up with specialists to document ongoing effects
See a mental health professional for PTSD, depression, anxiety diagnosis

Witness Identification and Preservation

Who to Document:

Other pledges (often afraid but may cooperate later)
Roommates and hall mates
Significant others who noticed changes
Former members who quit
Emergency responders and hospital staff

What to Record:

Full names and contact information
What each person saw or knows
Dates and times of observations

Practical Guide for Hale County Parents

Recognizing Hazing Warning Signs

Physical Indicators:

Unexplained bruises, burns, or injuries
Extreme exhaustion beyond normal college stress
Weight changes from food/water manipulation
Sleep deprivation (late-night calls, early morning demands)
Injuries to hands, back, or legs from paddling

Behavioral Changes:

Sudden secrecy about organization activities
Withdrawal from family and old friends
Personality shifts: anxiety, depression, irritability
Defensiveness when asked about the group
Constant phone use monitoring group chats

Academic Red Flags:

Grades dropping suddenly
Missing classes or falling asleep in class
Skipping assignments for “mandatory” events
Losing scholarships or academic standing

Questions to Ask (Non-Confrontationally)

“How are things going with [organization]? Are you enjoying it?”
“Have they been respectful of your time for classes and sleep?”
“What do they ask you to do as a new member?”
“Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?”
“Have you seen anyone get hurt, or have you been hurt?”
“Do you feel like you can leave if you want to?”
“Are they asking you to keep secrets?”

48-Hour Action Checklist

HOUR 1-6 (Immediate Crisis):
✅ Get medical attention for any injuries or intoxication
✅ Remove your child from the dangerous situation
✅ Screenshot any messages they show you
✅ Photograph visible injuries from multiple angles
✅ Write down everything they tell you (who, what, when, where)
✅ Call Attorney911: 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate legal guidance

HOUR 6-24 (Evidence Preservation):
✅ Help your child preserve ALL digital evidence (don’t delete anything)
✅ Secure physical evidence (clothing, receipts, objects)
✅ Request medical records from any treatment
✅ Document witness names and contact information
✅ Note any university communications (but don’t respond yet)

HOUR 24-48 (Strategic Decisions):

✅ Decide on reporting strategy (with legal guidance)
✅ Refer any university/insurance contacts to your attorney
✅ Back up all evidence to cloud storage
✅ Begin documenting the impact on your family

Critical Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Hazing Case

Mistake #1: Letting Evidence Disappear

What happens: Messages get deleted, photos disappear, witnesses get coached
Why it’s fatal: Digital evidence is the #1 factor in winning hazing cases
Better approach: Preserve everything immediately – even embarrassing content

Mistake #2: Confronting the Organization Directly

What happens: They lawyer up, destroy evidence, and prepare defenses
Why it’s fatal: You lose the element of surprise and evidence preservation window
Better approach: Document everything silently, then consult an attorney

Mistake #3: Signing University “Resolution” Forms

What happens: Universities pressure families to sign quick settlement agreements
Why it’s fatal: You may waive your right to sue for inadequate compensation
Better approach: Never sign anything without attorney review

Mistake #4: Posting on Social Media

What happens: Defense attorneys screenshot everything; inconsistencies hurt credibility
Why it’s fatal: Social media posts become evidence used against you
Better approach: Keep everything private; let your attorney control messaging

Mistake #5: Waiting for the University to “Handle It”

What happens: Evidence disappears, witnesses graduate, statute runs
Why it’s fatal: Universities protect their interests first, not yours
Better approach: Pursue parallel tracks – university process AND legal action

Frequently Asked Questions for Alabama Families

“Can we sue an Alabama university for hazing?”

Yes, under certain circumstances. Public universities in Alabama have some sovereign immunity protections, but exceptions exist for:

Gross negligence or willful misconduct
Failure to enforce published policies
Title IX violations when hazing involves sexual harassment
Cases against individual employees in personal capacity

“Is hazing a felony in Alabama?”

Alabama classifies hazing as a Class C misdemeanor generally, but penalties can be enhanced when:

Alcohol or drugs are involved
Serious bodily injury occurs
The conduct is particularly egregious

“What if my child ‘agreed’ to the initiation?”

Consent is not a defense in Alabama. The law recognizes that “consent” under peer pressure and power imbalance isn’t true voluntary consent. Alabama Code § 16-1-23 explicitly states consent doesn’t justify hazing.

“How long do we have to file a lawsuit?”

Generally 2 years from the date of injury or discovery in Alabama, but this can vary based on:

The “discovery rule” if harm wasn’t immediately apparent
Tolling for minors
Fraudulent concealment by defendants
Time is critical – evidence disappears quickly

“What if the hazing happened off-campus?”

Location doesn’t eliminate liability. Universities and national fraternities can still be liable based on:

Sponsorship and recognition of the organization
Knowledge of off-campus activities
Foreseeability of harm
Control exercised over the organization

“Will my child’s name be public?”

Most hazing cases settle confidentially before trial. We can:

Request sealed court records
Negotiate confidential settlement terms
Use pseudonyms in filings when possible
We prioritize your family’s privacy throughout the process.

“How much does it cost to hire your firm?”

We work on a contingency fee basis:

No upfront costs or hourly fees
We only get paid if we win your case
Fees come from the recovery, not your pocket
