The Complete Guide to Hazing in Texas: What Loving County Parents & Students Must Know

If you are a parent in Loving County whose child is joining a fraternity, sorority, Corps of Cadets program, athletic team, or campus organization at any Texas university, this guide was written for you. The quiet, wide-open spaces of West Texas can feel a world away from the intense social pressures of a college campus. Yet, the reality is that families from our smallest communities send their children to major universities across the state, where hidden traditions of abuse and coercion persist. Right now, in Houston, our firm is fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in the country—a case that proves this isn’t just about “roughhousing” or “bad choices,” but about systematic abuse that can hospitalize a young person and change a family’s life forever.

This comprehensive guide explains what hazing really looks like in 2025, how Texas and federal law treat it, what major national cases teach us, and what has been happening at universities where Loving County families commonly send their students: the University of Houston, Texas A&M University, the University of Texas at Austin, Southern Methodist University, and Baylor University. We will walk you through your legal options, the critical evidence that matters, and the practical steps to protect your child.

Immediate Help for Hazing Emergencies

If your child is in danger RIGHT NOW:

• Call 911 for any medical emergency.
• Then call us: 1-888-ATTY-911 (1-888-288-9911). We provide immediate help—that’s why we’re the Legal Emergency Lawyers™.

In the first 48 hours, you must:

1. Get medical attention immediately, even if your child insists they are “fine.”
2. Preserve evidence BEFORE it disappears:
   • Screenshot all group chats, text messages, and direct messages immediately.
   • Photograph any injuries from multiple angles.
   • Save any physical items (clothing, receipts, objects used in hazing).
3. Write down everything your child tells you while their memory is fresh (who, what, when, where).
4. DO NOT:
   • Confront the fraternity, sorority, or organization directly.
   • Sign anything from the university or an insurance company.
   • Post details on public social media.
   • Let your child delete messages or “clean up” their phone.

Contact an experienced hazing attorney within 24-48 hours. Evidence vanishes quickly—deleted group chats, destroyed paddles, coached witnesses. Universities often move swiftly to control the narrative. We can help you preserve evidence and protect your child’s rights from the start.

Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like

For parents in Loving County, the classic image of hazing might involve paddling or silly pranks. The reality in 2025 is far more sinister, sophisticated, and digitally enabled. Hazing is any forced, coerced, or powerfully pressured action tied to joining or maintaining status in a group, where the behavior endangers physical or mental health, humiliates, or exploits. Critically, a student saying “I agreed to it” does not make it safe or legal when immense peer pressure and power imbalances are at play.

Modern hazing falls into clear, escalating categories:

Alcohol and Substance Hazing
This remains the single most common and deadliest form. It includes forced “lineup” drinking, “Big/Little” nights where pledges are given handles of liquor, drinking games like “Bible study” where wrong answers mean consumption, and coerced use of drugs or unknown substances.

Physical Hazing
This extends beyond paddling to include extreme, punitive calisthenics called “smokings” (hundreds of push-ups, wall-sits until collapse), sleep deprivation for days, food/water restriction, and exposure to extreme cold or heat. A horrific modern evolution is “chemical hazing,” where pledges are doused with substances like industrial-strength cleaner, causing severe burns.

Sexualized and Humiliating Hazing
This involves forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, degrading costumes, and acts with racist, sexist, or homophobic overtones. The goal is to break down a person’s dignity through profound humiliation.

Psychological and Digital Hazing
This is the silent, pervasive threat. It includes verbal abuse and threats, social isolation, manipulation, and 24/7 digital control. Pledges are often required to respond instantly to group chats at all hours, share their live location via apps, and post humiliating content on social media as “challenges.” The digital footprint is both a tool of abuse and a critical source of evidence.

Hazing is not limited to fraternities. It occurs in sororities, Corps of Cadets programs, athletic teams, spirit groups like cheer and dance, marching bands, and even some academic or service clubs. The common threads are secrecy, tradition, and a power imbalance where older members exploit new members’ desire to belong.

Law & Liability Framework: Texas & Federal Law

Understanding the legal landscape is crucial for Loving County families seeking accountability. Texas has strong laws on the books, but they require knowledgeable application.

Texas Hazing Law (Education Code Chapter 37)
Texas defines hazing broadly as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, on or off campus, directed against a student for the purpose of pledging, initiation, or affiliation that endangers physical or mental health or safety.

• Criminal Penalties: Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor. It becomes a Class A misdemeanor if it causes bodily injury and a state jail felony if it causes serious bodily injury or death. Individuals can also be charged for failing to report hazing they knew about.
• Organizational Liability: The fraternity, sorority, or club itself can be fined up to $10,000 per violation.
• Consent is NOT a Defense: Texas law (§ 37.155) explicitly states that the victim’s “consent” is not a defense. This recognizes the coercive environment of pledging.
• Good-Faith Reporting Immunity: Those who report hazing in good faith to authorities are immune from civil or criminal liability for the report itself, encouraging bystanders to call for help.

Criminal vs. Civil Cases
It’s essential to understand the two parallel paths:

• Criminal Cases: Brought by the state (DA’s office). The goal is punishment: jail time, fines, probation. Charges can include hazing, furnishing alcohol to minors, assault, and even manslaughter.
• Civil Cases: Brought by the victim or their family. The goal is compensation for damages and accountability. These cases focus on negligence, wrongful death, negligent supervision, and emotional distress. A criminal conviction is not required to file a civil lawsuit; they are separate tracks. Our firm handles the civil side, seeking justice and financial recovery for families.

Federal Law Overlay

• Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): This new federal law requires colleges receiving federal aid to publicly report hazing incidents and strengthen prevention programs, with full implementation by 2026.
• Title IX & Clery Act: If hazing involves sexual harassment or assault, Title IX obligations are triggered. The Clery Act requires reporting of certain campus crimes, which can include hazing-related assaults.

Who Can Be Held Liable?
A comprehensive civil case looks at every potentially responsible party:

1. Individual Students: Those who planned, carried out, or covered up the abuse.
2. Local Chapter: The chapter itself as a legal entity, and its officers.
3. National Fraternity/Sorority: The headquarters that set policies, collect dues, and supervise chapters. Their knowledge of prior incidents nationwide is crucial.
4. University: The school may be liable for negligent supervision, deliberate indifference to known risks, or Title IX violations.
5. Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, bars that overserved alcohol, or security companies.

National Hazing Case Patterns: The Anchor Stories

Major national cases are not just news stories; they are legal precedents that establish patterns of conduct and institutional failure. These patterns are exactly what we look for when building a case for a Texas family.

The Alcohol Poisoning Pattern: Fatal Lessons

• Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi, 2017): A bid-acceptance night with dangerous drinking games. Piazza suffered fatal falls, captured on chapter house cameras, while brothers delayed calling 911 for hours. The case led to dozens of criminal charges and Pennsylvania’s Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law.
• Max Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta, 2017): A “Bible study” drinking game where wrong answers meant forced drinking. Gruver died of alcohol poisoning (BAC 0.495%). The case spurred Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act, making hazing a felony.
• Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha, 2021): A pledge was forced to drink a bottle of whiskey. He died from alcohol poisoning. The chapter president was later ordered to pay $6.5 million personally, and the university settled for nearly $3 million. This case shows individual leaders can face catastrophic personal financial liability.

The Physical & Ritualized Hazing Pattern

• Chun “Michael” Deng (Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi, 2013): Pledge was blindfolded, weighted down, and repeatedly tackled during a “glass ceiling” ritual at a retreat. He died from brain trauma. The national fraternity was criminally convicted and banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years. This proves liability extends to off-campus retreats and can reach the national organization.

The Athletic Program Hazing Pattern

• Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): Former players alleged widespread sexualized and racist hazing within the program, leading to multiple lawsuits, the firing of the head coach, and confidential settlements. This dismantles the myth that hazing is solely a “Greek life” problem.

What These Cases Mean for You
These national tragedies reveal the same repeating script: forced consumption, humiliation, violence, delayed medical care, and institutional cover-ups. They have resulted in multi-million-dollar settlements, new laws, and permanent chapter closures. For a Loving County family, these cases are a roadmap. They show what allegations are credible, what evidence is powerful, and how institutions can be held accountable. The same national fraternities involved in these cases—Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta—have chapters at Texas universities your child may attend.

Texas Focus: Universities Where Loving County Families Send Their Kids

While our firm serves families statewide, we provide deep insight into the universities that are common destinations for Texas students. The hazing risks and institutional responses vary significantly from campus to campus.

University of Houston (UH)

Campus Snapshot & Connection to Loving County
As a major urban research university, UH draws students from across Texas, including from communities like Loving County seeking strong academic programs. Its Greek life is active and diverse, with a mix of commuter and residential students participating in fraternities, sororities, and numerous student organizations.

The Flagship Case: Leonel Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi
Right now, the most serious hazing case in Texas is unfolding at UH, and our firm represents the victim. In late 2025, we filed a $10 million lawsuit on behalf of Leonel Bermudez against the University of Houston, the Pi Kappa Phi national fraternity, its Beta Nu chapter housing corporation, and 13 individual fraternity leaders.

The allegations are severe and specific. As a fall 2025 pledge, Bermudez was subjected to a regime of humiliation and abuse, including carrying a “pledge fanny pack” 24/7 filled with condoms, a sex toy, and other degrading items. The physical hazing included forced sprints, bear crawls, being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding,” and being forced to consume milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting. This culminated in a November 3rd “workout” where he was forced to do over 100 push-ups and 500 squats under threat of expulsion.

The result was a medical catastrophe. Bermudez developed rhabdomyolysis—a severe skeletal muscle breakdown—and acute kidney failure. He passed brown urine, could not stand, and was hospitalized for four days with critically high creatine kinase levels. He faces ongoing risk of permanent kidney damage. Following reports, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters suspended the chapter on November 6, and members voted to surrender their charter on November 14, shutting it down. UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing” and promised cooperation with law enforcement.

This case is not an anomaly; it is a testament to the extreme dangers that persist. Media outlets like Click2Houston and ABC13 have covered it extensively.

UH’s Hazing Policy & Record
UH prohibits hazing on and off-campus and provides reporting channels through the Dean of Students and campus police. However, prior incidents indicate systemic issues. For example, in 2016, the Pi Kappa Alpha chapter was suspended after a pledge suffered a lacerated spleen during alleged hazing. These prior incidents are critical in establishing a university’s knowledge of ongoing problems.

How a UH Hazing Case Proceeds
Jurisdiction may involve the UH Police Department or the Houston Police Department, depending on the location of the incident. Civil lawsuits are typically filed in Harris County District Courts. The investigation would seek records from UH, the national fraternity, and the now-closed Beta Nu chapter, using the patterns seen in the Bermudez case as a guide.

Texas A&M University

Campus Snapshot & The Corps Culture
Texas A&M’s unique culture, deeply rooted in tradition and the Corps of Cadets, presents specific hazing risks. Families from across Texas, including rural areas like Loving County, often choose A&M for its strong community and network, but must be aware of these embedded dynamics.

Documented Incidents: Fraternity & Corps
Texas A&M has faced serious, public hazing allegations:

• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged they were forced into strenuous activity and had substances including industrial-strength cleaner, raw eggs, and spit poured on them, causing severe chemical burns that required skin graft surgeries. The pledges sued for $1 million, and the chapter was suspended.
• Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Lawsuit (2023): A cadet alleged degrading hazing, including being bound between beds in a simulated sexual position known as “roasted pig” with an apple in his mouth. He sought over $1 million in damages.

A&M’s Hazing Policy & Response
A&M addresses hazing through its Student Conduct office and specific Corps regulations. The public nature of these lawsuits indicates that serious cases can and do surface, moving beyond internal discipline to the civil justice system.

What A&M Families Should Know
The blend of Greek life and Corps traditions can create environments where abusive behavior is disguised as “team building” or “tradition.” Evidence collection is paramount, and experienced counsel is needed to navigate the university’s unique institutional culture.

University of Texas at Austin (UT)

Campus Snapshot & Transparency
UT Austin sets a standard for transparency with its publicly accessible online hazing violation log. This is a valuable resource for any parent researching an organization their child is considering.

Public Hazing Violations Log
The log details organizations, dates, violations, and sanctions. Recent entries include:

• Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members were directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics. The chapter was placed on probation and required to implement hazing-prevention education.
• Texas Wranglers (Spirit Group): Sanctioned for forced workouts and alcohol-related hazing.
  This public record is powerful evidence in a civil case, demonstrating a pattern of conduct and the university’s prior knowledge.

How UT’s Transparency Affects Cases
The existence of this log means that attorneys can quickly establish that the university and organizations were on notice about hazing risks. It strengthens arguments for negligent supervision. Cases may involve UTPD or Austin PD, and civil filings typically occur in Travis County.

Southern Methodist University (SMU) & Baylor University

Private University Dynamics
Both SMU (Dallas) and Baylor (Waco) are private institutions with significant Greek life presence and religious affiliations. Their private status affects transparency but not liability.

SMU’s Incidents and Response
SMU has faced serious hazing allegations, such as a 2017 incident involving the Kappa Alpha Order chapter, where new members were reportedly paddled, forced to drink, and deprived of sleep, leading to suspension. SMU utilizes anonymous reporting systems like Real Response.

Baylor’s Context
Baylor’s history includes a major athletic hazing incident in 2020, when 14 baseball players were suspended following a hazing investigation. The university’s past scrutiny over Title IX issues creates a complex environment for addressing abuse claims.

Considerations for Private Schools
While internal processes may differ from public universities, private schools like SMU and Baylor are not immune to civil lawsuits. Their handbooks and policies create contractual duties, and discovery in litigation can uncover internal reports that are not public.

Fraternities & Sororities: Campus Rosters and National Histories

The organizations on Texas campuses are almost all chapters of national entities. This connection is legally crucial. A national headquarters’ knowledge of hazing patterns across the country can establish that the injuries to a Texas student were foreseeable.

Why National Histories Matter in Court
When a chapter at UH or Texas A&M repeats the same dangerous “tradition” that caused a death at a university in Ohio or Louisiana, it demonstrates that the national organization knew or should have known the risks but failed to take adequate steps to prevent them. This supports claims of negligence and can even justify punitive damages.

Selected National Organizations with Documented Histories

• Pi Kappa Alpha (ΠΚΑ): National pattern of alcohol-related hazing deaths, including Stone Foltz at Bowling Green State ($10M+ settlement).
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣΑΕ): Multiple deaths and severe injury cases nationwide; involved in the Texas A&M chemical burns lawsuit.
• Phi Delta Theta (ΦΔΘ): Max Gruver hazing death at LSU led to felony legislation.
• Pi Kappa Phi (ΠΚΦ): Andrew Coffey hazing death at Florida State University; now the subject of our active UH lawsuit.
• Kappa Alpha Order (ΚΑ): Repeated hazing suspensions, including at SMU.

These national patterns are not just background noise. They are evidence. In litigation, we subpoena national fraternity records to uncover prior incident reports, risk management bulletins, and internal communications that show what the organization knew about the dangers of specific pledge activities.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Damages, and Our Strategy

If your family is facing this crisis, you deserve to know how a serious law firm builds a case for accountability. It is a meticulous, multi-front process.

The Evidence Foundation
Modern hazing cases are won on digital evidence and institutional records.

• Digital Communications: GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, and fraternity apps are goldmines. We work with digital forensics experts to recover deleted messages that show planning, boasting, and cover-ups.
• Photos & Videos: Content filmed by members themselves is devastating evidence. We also seek security footage from houses and nearby businesses.
• Internal Organizational Documents: Pledge manuals, “tradition” lists, and emails between officers.
• University Records: Obtained through discovery or public records requests, these include prior conduct reports, warnings, and Clery Act filings.
• Medical & Psychological Records: Documenting the full physical and emotional trauma, from ER reports to long-term PTSD diagnoses.

The Damages We Seek to Recover
Our goal is to make the victim whole and hold institutions accountable. Recoverable damages include:

• Economic Damages: All medical bills (emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, future therapy), lost wages, and diminished future earning capacity if injuries are permanent.
• Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, trauma, humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Wrongful Death Damages (for families): Funeral costs, loss of financial support, and the profound loss of companionship and guidance.
  We work with life-care planners and economists to build a complete picture of the lifelong impact, especially in cases involving traumatic brain injury or permanent organ damage like rhabdomyolysis.

Our Legal Strategy: The Attorney911 Advantage

1. Immediate Evidence Preservation: We act within hours to send legal hold letters, preventing the destruction of evidence by fraternities and universities.
2. Complainant-First Investigation: We start by believing your child and work to corroborate their story with evidence, unlike university investigations that often start from a position of institutional protection.
3. Identifying All Liable Parties: Using tools like our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine, we trace liability beyond the obvious actors. We identify local housing corporations, alumni associations, national headquarters, and university officials who failed in their duties.
4. Navigating Insurance Coverage: Thanks to Mr. Lupe Peña’s background as a former insurance defense attorney, we know exactly how fraternity and university insurers will try to deny claims. We anticipate their arguments about “intentional act” exclusions and fight for coverage.
5. Trial-Ready Posture: We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This readiness forces more serious settlement discussions. Our experience in federal court and complex litigation like the BP Texas City explosion cases means we are not intimidated by large institutional defendants.

Practical Guides & FAQs for Loving County Families

For Parents: A Step-by-Step Guide

Warning Signs:

• Unexplained injuries, bruises, or burns.
• Extreme fatigue or sleep deprivation inconsistent with academic workload.
• Sudden anxiety, depression, or withdrawal from family and old friends.
• Secretive phone use, fear of missing group chat notifications.
• Personality changes, defensiveness when asked about the organization.

If You Suspect Hazing:

1. Talk Calmly: Ask open-ended questions. “What does a typical week as a new member look like?” “Has anything made you uncomfortable?”
2. Prioritize Safety: If there is any immediate danger, call 911.
3. Document: Write down what they tell you with dates. If they show you texts, take screenshots immediately.
4. Seek Medical Care: Even without visible injury, a doctor can assess physical and psychological stress.
5. Consult an Attorney Before Reporting: Once you report to a university, their legal team takes over. Talking to us first allows us to help you navigate that process strategically and protect your child from retaliation.

For Students: Is This Hazing?

Ask yourself:

• Am I being pressured to do something I wouldn’t normally do?
• Would I get in trouble if I said no?
• Is the activity dangerous, degrading, or illegal?
• Are older members making me do things they don’t have to do?
  If you answer “yes,” it is hazing. Your “consent” under pressure is not legally valid. Your safety comes first.

Critical Mistakes That Can Harm Your Case

We’ve seen families unknowingly undermine their own pursuit of justice. Please avoid these errors:

• Deleting Evidence: Do not let your child “clean up” their phone. Those embarrassing messages are critical evidence.
• Confronting the Organization Directly: This triggers their legal defense, leading to evidence destruction and witness coaching.
• Signing University Paperwork Alone: Universities may offer quick “resolutions” that require waiving your right to sue. Do not sign anything without an attorney’s review.
• Posting on Social Media: Public posts can be used by defense attorneys to contradict your story. Keep details private.
• Waiting Too Long: Evidence disappears, witnesses graduate, and the statute of limitations passes. The Texas statute for personal injury is generally two years. We have a video explaining statutes of limitations in Texas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can we sue a public university like UH or Texas A&M?
A: Yes, but it is complex. Public universities have certain sovereign immunity protections, but exceptions exist for gross negligence, Title IX violations, and when suing employees in their personal capacity. We know how to navigate these hurdles.

Q: What if it happened off-campus at a rented house?
A: Location does not absolve liability. Universities and national fraternities can still be responsible for activities they sponsor or know about. The Pi Delta Psi case that resulted in a death occurred at a remote retreat.

Q: How much does it cost to hire your firm?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis for civil cases. This means you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover money for you. You can learn more about how contingency fees work.

Q: Will my child’s name be dragged through the media?
A: We prioritize your family’s privacy. Most civil cases settle confidentially before trial. We can request sealed court records and always counsel families on managing public attention.
