Texas Hazing, Fraternity & Sorority Abuse: A Guide for Families in Ravenna, Fannin County

A Direct Message to Parents in Ravenna, Fannin County

Picture this: Your child, a bright student from Ravenna, is now a new member at a university fraternity, sorority, Corps of Cadets unit, or athletic team. What starts as excitement turns to worry. They come home exhausted, with unexplained bruises or a drastic change in personality. They’re secretive about their phone, jumpy at notifications, and dismiss your concerns with a hollow, “It’s just tradition.”

Now, imagine that “tradition” involves being forced to drink dangerous amounts of alcohol, endure sleepless nights of humiliating tasks, or perform extreme physical exercise until their muscles literally start to break down. This is not a hypothetical fear. It is the reality of modern hazing, and it is happening right now on Texas campuses where your children study.

At this very moment, our firm is leading a major hazing lawsuit that began with a scenario just like this. We represent Leonel Bermudez, a student at the University of Houston, in a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston, the Pi Kappa Phi national fraternity, and 13 individual fraternity leaders. As detailed in the Click2Houston report on UH Pi Kappa Phi hazing case, Mr. Bermudez was subjected to a systematic campaign of abuse in Fall 2025 as a pledge of the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter.

The hazing he endured is a textbook example of what families in Ravenna need to recognize. It included the degrading “pledge fanny pack” rule, where pledges had to carry condoms, a sex toy, and nicotine devices at all times. It involved forced, overnight chauffeuring of older members. It escalated to extreme physical abuse: sprinting, bear crawls, wheelbarrow races, and lying in vomit-soaked grass. He was sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding” and threatened with actual waterboarding.

The climax was a brutal forced workout on November 3, 2025, where he was made to do over 100 push-ups and 500 squats under threat of expulsion. This led to a catastrophic medical emergency: rhabdomyolysis—a severe breakdown of muscle tissue—and acute kidney failure. He passed brown urine, could not stand, and was hospitalized for four days, facing the risk of permanent kidney damage.

This case, covered by ABC13 and Hoodline, is active, serious, and happening now. It is the proof that the nightmare scenario for a Texas parent is real. If your family in Ravenna, Bonham, or anywhere in Fannin County is facing a similar crisis—whether your child is at a local campus, a major university like Texas A&M, or anywhere else—you are not alone, and you have rights.

This comprehensive guide is written specifically for you. We will explain what hazing truly looks like in 2025, break down Texas and federal law, show you the patterns of abuse from national cases, and detail what’s happening on Texas campuses. We will provide you with a concrete action plan and explain how our firm, with deep expertise in taking on powerful institutions, can help you seek accountability and recovery for your child.

IMMEDIATE HELP: If This Is Happening Right Now in Ravenna

If your child is in immediate danger or has been seriously injured:

• Document: Write down everything your child tells you—dates, times, locations, names.
• Seek Medical Attention: Even if injuries seem minor, a medical record is crucial. Tell the doctor the truth about what happened.
• Do NOT:
  • Confront the fraternity, sorority, or university directly.
  • Sign anything from the university or any insurance company.
  • Post details on public social media.
  • Wait to see how the university “handles it.”

Time is evidence. Call Attorney911 at 1-888-ATTY-911 for immediate, confidential guidance.

What Hazing Really Looks Like in 2025 (Beyond the Stereotypes)

Hazing is not just a “prank” or “boys will be boys” behavior. It is a calculated abuse of power designed to create loyalty through trauma. For families in Ravenna, understanding its modern forms is the first step to protecting your child.

Texas law defines hazing broadly as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or membership in an organization. Consent is not a defense.

The Three Tiers of Hazing

1. Subtle Hazing (Often Dismissed as “Tradition”)
This creates a power imbalance and sets the stage for worse abuse. It includes:

• Mandatory Servitude: Acting as a 24/7 on-call driver, cleaner, or errand-runner for older members.
• Social Control: Requiring permission to socialize, mandating attendance at events that interfere with sleep or academics.
• Digital Monitoring: Being required to respond instantly to group chats at all hours or share live location data.
• Deception: Being told to lie to parents, RAs, or university officials about activities.

2. Harassment Hazing (Causing Clear Distress)

• Sleep & Food Deprivation: Late-night “study sessions,” wake-up calls at 3 AM, restricting meals.
• Verbal Abuse & Humiliation: Yelling, insults, “roasts,” forced embarrassing public acts.
• Forced Physical Activity: “Smokings” or extreme calisthenics beyond safe conditioning.
• Exposure to Discomfort: Being covered in food, condiments, or non-harmful but degrading substances.

3. Violent Hazing (High Risk of Serious Injury or Death)

• Forced/Coerced Alcohol Consumption: “Big/Little” drinking games, “family tree” rituals, lineups, funneling. This is the single most common cause of hazing deaths.
• Physical Beatings: Paddling, punching, kicking, or “branding.”
• Dangerous Physical Tests: Blindfolded tackles (“glass ceiling”), forced fights, swimming while intoxicated.
• Sexualized Hazing: Forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, sexual assault.
• Extreme Environmental Exposure: Being locked in cold rooms, left outside in severe weather.

The Modern Evolution: How Hazing Hides in Plain Sight

• The “It’s Optional” Loophole: Activities are framed as voluntary, but refusal means social ostracization or being denied a “Big.”
• Off-Campus/Retreat Hazing: Moving abuse to Airbnbs, rental houses, or rural properties to avoid campus oversight.
• Digital Evidence & Cover-Up: Hazing is planned and celebrated in group chats like GroupMe, then evidence is deleted when trouble arises. Our video on using your phone to document evidence is critical for victims.
• Disguised as “Team Building”: Brutal workouts are called “fitness challenges”; psychological torture is called “bonding.”

Texas Hazing Law & Liability: The Legal Landscape for Ravenna Families

Texas Education Code Chapter 37: Your Child’s Legal Protections

Hazing is a crime in Texas. Under Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code:

• Definition: Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers physical/mental health for purposes of initiation or affiliation into a group.
• Location: Applies on and off campus.
• Consent: Is NOT a defense. It doesn’t matter if your child “agreed.”
• Criminal Penalties:
  • Class B Misdemeanor: Basic hazing (up to 180 days jail, $2,000 fine).
  • Class A Misdemeanor: Hazing that causes injury requiring medical treatment.
  • State Jail Felony: Hazing that causes serious bodily injury or death.
• Immunity for Good-Faith Reporting: Individuals who report hazing or call 911 in a medical emergency are protected from liability.

Civil Liability: Who Can Be Held Accountable in a Lawsuit?

A criminal case is brought by the state to punish. A civil lawsuit, which we handle, is brought by the victim or family to recover damages and force accountability. Potential defendants include:

1. Individual Perpetrators: The members who planned, carried out, or concealed the hazing.
2. The Local Chapter: The fraternity, sorority, or club as an entity.
3. The National Organization: The fraternity/sorority headquarters that sets policies, collects dues, and oversees chapters. Their knowledge of prior incidents at other chapters is crucial.
4. The University: Schools can be liable for negligence if they knew or should have known about the hazing and failed to take reasonable steps to stop it. Public universities like UT Austin or Texas A&M have some sovereign immunity, but exceptions exist.
5. Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, alcohol providers (under dram shop laws).

Federal Laws Overlaying Texas Cases

• Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): Requires colleges to report hazing incidents more transparently and maintain public data. This is ramping up through 2026.
• Title IX: If hazing involves sexual harassment or assault, federal Title IX procedures and obligations are triggered.
• Clery Act: Requires reporting of certain campus crimes, which can include hazing-related assaults.

National Hazing Case Patterns: The Script Repeats Itself

The tragic cases below are not just news stories; they are legal precedents that show the patterns fraternities and universities know—or should know—are deadly. They inform how we build cases for families in Ravenna.

The Alcohol Poisoning Script

• Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha (2021): Pledge forced to drink a bottle of whiskey; died. Result: $10+ million in settlements, criminal convictions.
• Max Gruver – LSU, Phi Delta Theta (2017): Pledge died in a “Bible study” drinking game. Result: $6.1 million verdict, Louisiana’s “Max Gruver Act” felony hazing law.
• Andrew Coffey – Florida State, Pi Kappa Phi (2017): Pledge died at a “Big Brother” event. This is the same national fraternity involved in our active UH case.

The Violent Ritual Script

• Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi (2013): Pledge died from a blindfolded tackling ritual at a retreat. Result: National fraternity criminally convicted, banned from Pennsylvania.

Severe Injury & Institutional Accountability

• Danny Santulli – U. of Missouri, Phi Gamma Delta (2021): Pledge suffered permanent brain damage from forced drinking. Result: Multi-million dollar settlements with 22 defendants.
• Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): Widespread sexualized and racist hazing alleged. Result: Head coach fired, confidential settlements, proving hazing extends far beyond Greek life.

These cases establish foreseeability. When a fraternity at a Texas school uses the same “Big/Little” drinking script that killed Stone Foltz, the national organization cannot claim it was an unforeseeable accident.

Texas University Focus: Where Ravenna Families Send Their Kids

As parents in Fannin County, your children likely attend or may attend universities across our state. The hazing risks at these institutions are real, documented, and follow the national patterns.

For Ravenna Families: The Local & Regional Campus Connection

While your student may dream of a large state school, many begin their journey closer to home. It is critical to understand that hazing occurs at institutions of all sizes.

• Texas A&M University-Commerce (Lions): Located in nearby Hunt County, this campus has active Greek life and student organizations. Hazing investigations here would fall under the jurisdiction of Commerce PD and university conduct offices, with potential civil actions venued in Hunt or neighboring counties like Fannin.
• Grayson College & Other Community Colleges: Even two-year institutions with clubs, sports teams, or affiliated Greek chapters are not immune to hazing behaviors as students seek belonging.

The Major Texas Hubs: A Detailed Look

University of Texas at Austin

For Ravenna Families: A top destination for high-achieving Texas students, UT Austin’s Greek life is vast and tradition-heavy. The university maintains a public hazing violations log—a transparency tool we use to prove patterns.

Documented Incidents & Patterns:

• UT Hazing Violations Log shows repeated sanctions for organizations like Pi Kappa Alpha, Texas Wranglers, and others for forced drinking, extreme calisthenics, and humiliating acts.
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – UT Chapter: In January 2024, an Australian exchange student sued the UT SAE chapter for over $1 million, alleging an assault at a party that caused a dislocated leg, broken nose, and fractured tibia. The chapter was already on suspension for prior violations.

What a UT Austin Case Means for You: Cases involve UTPD and Austin PD. UT’s own public violation logs become powerful evidence to show the university’s prior knowledge of specific organizational risks.

Texas A&M University

For Ravenna Families: The culture of tradition at Texas A&M is powerful, extending from the Corps of Cadets to its extensive Greek system. The university’s response to hazing often blends internal discipline with a strong institutional reputation.

Documented Incidents & Patterns:

• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged being doused with industrial-strength cleaner and other substances, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin grafts. The chapter was suspended; lawsuits were filed.
• Corps of Cadets Lawsuit (2023): A former cadet sued for over $1 million, alleging hazing including being bound in a “roasted pig” position with an apple in his mouth. The Corps is a breeding ground for high-risk, tradition-justified abuse.
• Kappa Sigma: Ongoing litigation related to alleged hazing resulting in rhabdomyolysis—the same severe muscle breakdown injury from our UH Pi Kappa Phi case.

University of Houston (The Flagship Case)

For Ravenna Families: As a major urban university, UH draws students from across Texas. Our active Bermudez case is the clearest example of how a hazing case unfolds in real-time against a Texas public university and a national fraternity.

The Active Litigation: Leonel Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi
We are not referencing a historical case. We are currently litigating this. The defendants include:

• The University of Houston System.
• Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity National Headquarters.
• The Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu Housing Corporation.
• 13 individual fraternity leaders (president, pledgemaster, etc.).

The fraternity chapter was suspended on November 6, 2025, and voted to surrender its charter on November 14, 2025, after our lawsuit was filed. UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing.” This is what active, aggressive hazing litigation looks like.

Southern Methodist University & Baylor University

For Ravenna Families: These private, prestigious universities have significant Greek life and their own institutional dynamics.

• SMU: Past incidents include Kappa Alpha Order facing suspension for paddling and forced drinking. As a private institution, SMU has fewer public reporting requirements, making internal discovery during litigation critical.
• Baylor: Has faced scrutiny over cultural issues in athletics. Baylor’s religious identity creates a unique environment where hazing may be hidden behind a facade of community.

The Texas Greek Ecosystem: Public Records & National Histories

When we take a case for a family in Ravenna, we don’t start from zero. We deploy our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine—a proprietary database built from thousands of public records to map the fraternity and sorority landscape across Texas. This is part of what makes us different.

Public Records Snapshot: Organizations Operating in the DFW Metro & Texas

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area, which includes Fannin County, is home to over 510 Greek-related organizations according to Cause IQ data. These aren’t just social clubs; they are legal entities with employer IDs (EINs), insurance policies, and hierarchies. For example, here is a small sample of the type of publicly registered entities we track:

Sample from IRS B83 & Cause IQ Data:

• Beta Upsilon Chi Fraternity – EIN 74-2911848, Fort Worth, TX 76244
• Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation Inc. – EIN 74-1380362, Fort Worth, TX 76147
• Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity – Lambda Lambda Chapter – EIN 52-1278573, Dallas, TX 75241
• Delta Tau Delta Fraternity – Gamma Iota Chapter – Listed in Austin, TX (Cause IQ Metro Data)
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon – Texas Rho Corp. – Listed in Austin, TX (Cause IQ Metro Data)

These entities—house corporations, alumni chapters, educational foundations—are often the holders of insurance and assets. Knowing how to identify and pursue them is a key part of our legal strategy.

Why National Histories Matter for Your Case

The fraternity involved in your child’s case has a history, often a dangerous one. We use this pattern evidence to prove the national organization’s knowledge and negligence.

• Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): National pattern of alcohol-related hazing deaths (Stone Foltz).
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): One of the most dangerous histories, with fatalities and severe injuries across the country, including at Texas A&M and UT Austin.
• Pi Kappa Phi: The national involved in our UH case has the Andrew Coffey death at Florida State in its history.
• Phi Delta Theta: The Max Gruver death at LSU.

When we sue a national organization, we subpoena their internal records to show they knew about these prior incidents, had anti-hazing policies they failed to enforce, and therefore were negligent in supervising the local chapter that harmed your child.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Strategy & Recovery for Ravenna Families

The Evidence That Wins Cases

In the digital age, evidence is often captured but quickly destroyed. Immediate preservation is critical. We seek:

1. Digital Communications: GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord, Instagram DMs. We use digital forensics to recover deleted messages.
2. Photos & Videos: Content shot by perpetrators themselves, often shared in group chats.
3. Internal Organization Documents: Pledge manuals, “tradition” lists, emails between officers.
4. University Records: Prior conduct violations for the same group, obtained via discovery or public records requests.
5. Medical Records: Documenting the full extent of physical and psychological injuries, from ER reports to ongoing therapy.
6. Witness Testimony: Other pledges, former members, roommates.

Watch our guide on preserving evidence with your phone.

Types of Damages: What Recovery Can Include

A civil lawsuit seeks to make the victim whole and hold wrongdoers accountable. Recoverable damages may include:

• Economic Damages: All medical bills (past and future), lost wages, cost of psychological care, life care plans for permanent disabilities.
• Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, PTSD, anxiety, 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 love.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of especially reckless or malicious conduct, to punish the defendant and deter future behavior.

We work with economists, life care planners, and vocational experts to fully value the impact on a young person’s life. Every case is unique, and outcomes depend on the specific facts and evidence.

Overcoming the Institutional Defense Playbook

We know how universities and national fraternities fight. Their common defenses include:

• “The Pledge Consented.” Our Response: Texas law states consent is not a defense. Coercion and power imbalance invalidate “consent.”
• “It Was a Rogue Chapter.” Our Response: We use pattern evidence from the national’s own history to show foreseeability and negligent supervision.
• “It Happened Off-Campus.” Our Response: The organization’s control and the foreseeable risk extend beyond campus boundaries.
• “We Have Anti-Hazing Policies.” Our Response: We prove those policies were window-dressing, not enforced.
• Insurance Coverage Fights. Our Response: This is where Mr. Lupe Peña’s experience as a former insurance defense attorney is invaluable. We know how to navigate exclusions and fight for coverage.

Practical Guides & FAQs for Ravenna Parents, Students, and Witnesses

A Parent’s Action Checklist

1. Recognize the Signs: Unexplained injuries, extreme fatigue, personality changes, secrecy about phone/activities, sudden academic decline.
2. Talk Openly: Ask non-judgmental questions. “Are you ever asked to do things that make you uncomfortable?” “What happens if someone says no?”
3. In Crisis, Act: Prioritize medical care. Preserve evidence. Contact an attorney before confronting the organization or university.
4. Document Everything: Keep a log of conversations, save all communications, photograph everything.
5. Know Your Limits: Let your lawyer handle communications with the institution. Do not sign any waivers or settlements without legal advice.

For Students: Your Rights & Safety

• Is This Hazing? If you feel coerced, unsafe, or humiliated to belong, it likely is.
• You Can Leave: You have the legal right to quit at any time. Your safety is more important than any organization.
• Reporting Safely: You can report to the Dean of Students, campus police, or anonymously through national hotlines (1-888-NOT-HAZE). Texas law offers protections for good-faith reporters.
• Call 911 in a Medical Emergency: Most schools have amnesty policies to protect those who call for help.

Critical Mistakes That Can Ruin a Case

We made a video specifically on client mistakes that hurt injury cases. Avoid these:

1. Deleting Evidence: Group chats are the #1 piece of evidence. Do not delete.
2. Confronting the Organization: This triggers their defense lawyers and evidence destruction.
3. Signing University Papers: Do not sign any “resolution” agreements without an attorney.
4. Posting on Social Media: Defense investigators monitor everything. Inconsistencies hurt credibility.
5. Waiting Too Long: Texas has a statute of limitations—generally two years from the injury. Evidence and memories fade.

FAQ for Ravenna Families

Q: Can we sue a university in Texas for hazing?
A: Yes, under specific legal theories like negligence or Title IX violations. Public universities have some immunity hurdles, but exceptions exist, especially for gross negligence. We are currently suing the University of Houston System.

Q: What if it happened at an off-campus house or Airbnb?
A: Location does not absolve liability. The organizing group and its national headquarters can still be held responsible.

Q: Will our case be public? Will my child’s name be in the news?
A: Most cases settle confidentially before trial. We prioritize your family’s privacy throughout the process and can seek protective orders for sensitive information.

Q: How much does it cost to hire your firm?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury and hazing cases. This means you pay no upfront fees. Our fees are a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay attorney’s fees. Learn more in our video on how contingency fees work.
