The Texas Hazing & Campus Abuse Guide: What Every Pasadena, TX Family Needs to Know
If your child came home from college with broken ribs, a hospital bracelet, or stories of sleepless nights fueled by fear and humiliation, what would you do? The nightmare often begins quietly—a text message at 3 AM, a sudden withdrawal from family calls, unexplained charges for alcohol, or the slow realization that your bright, excited student has been replaced by a shadow. For parents in Pasadena, Texas, and across Harris County, this nightmare is not abstract. It is happening right now, on campuses where your children study, at fraternity houses just miles from your home, and in traditions that universities have allowed to fester for decades.
Right now, on the other side of Harris County, our firm is fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in Texas. We represent Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student who was hazed by the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter in the fall of 2025. The allegations are harrowing: forced to carry a degrading “pledge fanny pack,” subjected to hours of brutal physical workouts at Yellowstone Boulevard Park, sprayed in the face with a hose in a manner “similar to waterboarding,” and forced to consume milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting. The result was catastrophic: Bermudez developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure, passed brown urine, and was hospitalized for four days with a critically high creatine kinase level. We filed a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters, the chapter’s housing corporation, and 13 individual fraternity leaders. The chapter has been shut down, but the fight for accountability and our client’s future is just beginning.
This comprehensive guide is for you—the parents, families, and students in Pasadena, Deer Park, South Houston, and across the Greater Houston area. It exists because you deserve to know the truth: what modern hazing looks like, how Texas law applies, what has happened at the universities your children attend, and what legal pathways exist for accountability and healing. If your child has been hurt, you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate this crisis without experienced guidance.

What Is Hazing in 2025? Beyond the Stereotypes
Hazing is not a relic of the past or a simple “prank.” It is a calculated pattern of abuse that endangers physical and mental health for the purpose of joining or maintaining status in a group. For Pasadena families, understanding its modern forms is the first step in recognizing danger.
Under Texas law (Education Code Chapter 37), hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act—on or off campus—that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for purposes of initiation, affiliation, or membership. Critically, a victim’s “consent” is not a legal defense.
Today’s hazing often falls into interconnected categories:
Alcohol & Substance Hazing: This remains the most deadly pattern. It includes forced chugging games, “lineups,” “Big/Little” nights with handles of liquor, and coercive trivia where wrong answers mandate drinking. The results—alcohol poisoning, traumatic brain injury, death—are seen in national tragedies like the deaths of Stone Foltz (Pi Kappa Alpha) and Max Gruver (Phi Delta Theta).
Physical & “Conditioning” Hazing: This goes beyond push-ups. It involves extreme calisthenics (“smokings”) to the point of collapse, paddling or beatings, sleep and food deprivation, and exposure to extreme elements. The Leonel Bermudez case at UH is a stark example, where extreme workouts caused life-threatening rhabdomyolysis.
Sexualized & Humiliating Hazing: This includes forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, degrading costumes or positions, and acts infused with racist, sexist, or homophobic overtones. It is designed to strip away dignity.
Psychological & Digital Hazing: This is the 24/7 control mechanism. It involves verbal abuse, isolation from non-members, threats of expulsion, and digital coercion through group chats (GroupMe, WhatsApp). Pledges are monitored via location-sharing apps, harassed if they don’t respond instantly, and forced to post humiliating content on social media.
Hazing permeates many groups: Interfraternity Council (IFC) fraternities, Panhellenic sororities, National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) organizations, multicultural Greek groups, the Corps of Cadets at Texas A&M, athletic teams, spirit groups like the Texas Cowboys, and even marching bands. Wherever there is a power imbalance between new and old members, and a culture of “tradition” over safety, hazing can take root.
Texas Hazing Law & Liability: A Pasadena Family’s Legal Framework
Texas has specific laws governing hazing, and understanding them is crucial for families in Harris County considering their options.
The Texas Education Code: Chapter 37, Subchapter F
- Definition (§37.151): Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for purposes of initiation or affiliation into an organization.
- Criminal Penalties (§37.152): Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor. It becomes a Class A misdemeanor if it causes injury and a State Jail Felony if it causes serious bodily injury or death. Failing to report hazing or retaliating against a reporter is also a crime.
- Organizational Liability (§37.153): The organization itself (fraternity, sorority, team) can be prosecuted and fined up to $10,000 if it authorized the hazing or if an officer with authority knew and failed to report it.
- Consent is NOT a Defense (§37.155): This is critical. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, it is not a legal defense to a hazing charge. The law recognizes the coercive power of peer pressure.
Criminal vs. Civil Cases
A hazing incident can trigger two parallel legal tracks:
- Criminal Case: Brought by the state (e.g., Harris County District Attorney) against individuals. The goal is punishment: jail time, fines, probation. Charges can range from hazing and furnishing alcohol to a minor to assault or manslaughter in fatal cases.
- Civil Lawsuit: Brought by the victim or their family against those responsible. The goal is compensation for damages and accountability. This is where we focus our practice, seeking to recover for medical bills, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
You do not need to wait for a criminal conviction to file a civil lawsuit. In fact, waiting can be detrimental as evidence disappears.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Civil Hazing Lawsuit?
A proper investigation targets the full universe of responsible parties, which often includes:
- The Individual Perpetrators: Members who planned, executed, or covered up the hazing.
- The Local Chapter: As a legal entity, it can be sued for creating a dangerous environment.
- The National Fraternity/Sorority Headquarters: They often have deep pockets, insurance, and may be liable for negligent supervision if they knew or should have known about a pattern of misconduct.
- The University: Public universities like UH have certain immunity, but can be sued for gross negligence or violations of duties under Title IX or the Clery Act. Their failure to act on prior known incidents is a key angle.
- Third Parties: Property owners of off-campus houses, landlords, and alcohol providers.
National Hazing Cases: The Patterns That Repeat in Texas
The tragedies that make national headlines are not isolated. They reveal predictable, repeating scripts that play out on Texas campuses. Understanding these patterns helps prove that injuries are foreseeable, not accidental.
The Alcohol Poisoning Script: Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha, 2021), Max Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta, 2017), and Andrew Coffey (Florida State, Pi Kappa Phi, 2017) all died after forced drinking during “Big/Little” or “bid acceptance” events. The pattern: older members supply excessive alcohol, games or pressure force consumption, victims become gravely ill, and help is delayed due to fear. Settlements in these cases have reached $10-$14 million.
The Physical Brutality & Cover-Up Script: Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi, 2017) died from traumatic brain injuries after a fall during a drinking event, with hours of delay before calling 911—all captured on the fraternity’s own security cameras. Chun “Michael” Deng (Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi, 2013) died during a violent “glass ceiling” ritual at a remote retreat, with help delayed. These cases show how secrecy and brotherhood are weaponized against victim safety.
The Severe Non-Fatal Injury Script: Danny Santulli (University of Missouri, Phi Gamma Delta, 2021) suffered permanent, catastrophic brain damage from forced drinking, requiring 24/7 care for life. His family settled with 22 defendants. This case shows that survival does not mean the harm is any less severe or worthy of maximum accountability.
The Athletic & Programmatic Hazing Script: The Northwestern University football scandal (2023-2025) involved allegations of sexualized and racist hazing, leading to the head coach’s firing, numerous lawsuits, and a confidential settlement. It proved hazing is endemic in high-profile athletics, not just Greek life.
For a Pasadena family, these national cases are not just news stories. They are legal precedents. They establish that national fraternities like Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Pi Kappa Phi have long been on notice about the lethal risks of their chapters’ traditions. When the same patterns appear at UH, Texas A&M, or UT, it demonstrates foreseeability—a cornerstone of negligence law.
Texas University Focus: Where Pasadena Families Send Their Kids
Pasadena is in the heart of the Greater Houston educational landscape. Your children may attend the University of Houston, commute to a local college, or head to flagship campuses across the state. Hazing risks exist at all of them.
University of Houston (UH) – A Houston-Area Case Study
Campus & Connection to Pasadena: As a major public research university in the heart of Houston, UH attracts thousands of students from Pasadena and surrounding Harris County communities. Its Greek life is active and diverse, with over 40 fraternities and sororities across four councils.
Recent Major Case – Leonel Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi: This active lawsuit, filed in late 2025, is the most serious hazing case currently in the Texas courts. As reported by Click2Houston and ABC13, Bermudez, a transfer student, endured months of abuse as a Pi Kappa Phi pledge in Fall 2025. Hazing occurred at the chapter house, a Culmore Drive residence, and Yellowstone Boulevard Park. Acts included the humiliating “pledge fanny pack,” “waterboarding” with a hose, being hog-tied, and forced consumption of food leading to vomiting. The November 3rd “workout” of 100+ push-ups and 500 squats triggered rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure, requiring a four-day hospitalization.
UH’s Response & Implications: UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing,” and Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters suspended then closed the chapter. This case demonstrates that even with anti-hazing policies, severe abuse occurs. It also shows the complex web of defendants: 13 individual members, the local chapter, the national fraternity, the housing corporation, and the university itself.
What UH Parents & Students Should Do:
- Report to: UH Dean of Students Office, UHPD (if on-campus), or HPD (if off-campus).
- Document Everything: UH’s internal process can be slow. Preserve all digital and physical evidence independently.
- Understand the Landscape: Prior UH incidents, like a 2016 Pi Kappa Alpha case involving a lacerated spleen, show a history. Ask about an organization’s disciplinary record.
Texas A&M University – The Corps & Greek Life Nexus
Connection to Pasadena: Many Pasadena families have Aggies. Texas A&M’s culture is defined by tradition, including a massive Greek system and the Corps of Cadets.
Notable Incidents & Lawsuits:
- 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, and lawsuits were filed.
- Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Lawsuit (2023): A cadet alleged degrading hazing, including being bound between beds in a simulated sexual position with an apple in his mouth. He sought over $1 million in damages.
What A&M Parents & Students Should Do: Be aware that hazing risks exist in both the Greek system and the Corps. Reporting can go to Student Conduct, the Corps Commandant’s office, or University Police. The culture of tradition can create intense pressure to remain silent.
The University of Texas at Austin – Transparency & Repeated Violations
Connection to Pasadena: As the state’s flagship, UT Austin draws top students from Pasadena. It also has one of the most transparent hazing reporting systems in the country.
Public Hazing Violations Log: UT maintains a public website listing sanctioned organizations. A sample of recent entries reveals patterns:
- Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics. Sanction: Probation.
- Texas Wranglers (2023): Forced alcohol consumption, calisthenics, and sleep deprivation. Sanction: Suspension.
- Various other fraternities and spirit groups appear for alcohol hazing, forced workouts, and humiliation.
What UT Parents & Students Should Do: Check the public log. If an organization recruiting your child has a prior violation, ask hard questions. This public record is a powerful tool for proving a university’s prior knowledge of a group’s dangerous culture.
Baylor University & Southern Methodist University (SMU)
Private University Context: As private institutions, Baylor (Waco) and SMU (Dallas) have different disciplinary processes and legal exposures than public schools, but the hazing risks are similar.
- Baylor has faced scrutiny over cultural issues, including a 2020 baseball hazing incident that led to multiple player suspensions.
- SMU has had chapters suspended for hazing, including a Kappa Alpha Order chapter in 2017 for paddling and forced drinking.
The key for families is that while these schools may promote a polished image, hazing persists beneath the surface. Internal investigations may be less transparent, making external legal pressure and discovery through a lawsuit even more critical.
The Organizations Behind the Letters: National Histories Matter
When a Pi Kappa Phi chapter at UH hazes a student, it is not an anomaly. It is part of a national pattern. For Pasadena families building a case, the national history of a fraternity or sorority is critical evidence of foreseeability and negligent supervision.
We maintain a Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine, cross-referencing IRS filings, university rosters, and national data to understand the full ecosystem. For example, our public records research shows the intricate network of organizations in our own metro:
A Sample of Greek Organizations in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land Metro (From Public Records):
- Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity – Texas District (Houston, TX – Alumni/house corporation)
- Delta Sigma Theta Sorority – Houston Alumnae Chapter (Houston, TX – Graduate chapter)
- Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority – Alpha Kappa Omega Chapter (Houston, TX – Graduate chapter)
- Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority – Beta Sigma Chapter (Houston, TX – Undergraduate chapter)
- Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity – Eta Rho Sigma Chapter (Houston, TX – Graduate chapter)
These entities, along with local chapter house corporations, have legal identities, Employer Identification Numbers (EINs), and often, insurance policies. Uncovering this network is step one in holding the right parties accountable.
National Brands with Documented Hazing Histories:
- Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): National deaths (Stone Foltz, BGSU). Prior incidents at UH and UT Austin.
- Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): Numerous deaths and injuries nationwide. Recent lawsuits at Texas A&M (chemical burns) and UT Austin (assault).
- Pi Kappa Phi: National death (Andrew Coffey, FSU). Active, severe injury case at UH (Bermudez).
- Phi Delta Theta: National death (Max Gruver, LSU).
- Kappa Alpha Order: Hazing suspensions at multiple schools, including SMU.
In a lawsuit, we use this pattern evidence to argue that the national headquarters could and should have predicted the harm based on its own organization’s history. Their failure to implement effective oversight—beyond just paper policies—forms the basis for a claim of negligent supervision.
Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Strategy & Damages
Pursuing a hazing case is a complex, institutional fight. It requires an investigative approach that maps onto the strategies national fraternities and universities use to deny liability. Here is how we build a case for families in Pasadena and across Texas.
The Evidence That Wins Cases
- Digital Footprint: GroupMe, WhatsApp, and iMessage chats are the modern playbook. We seek messages planning events, discussing “traditions,” bragging about acts, and coordinating cover-ups. Even deleted messages can often be recovered through digital forensics. We also look at social media posts, location tags, and shared photos/videos.
- Internal Organizational Records: Through discovery, we subpoena national fraternity records: prior incident reports for the chapter, risk management files, communication between local and national officers, and pledge education materials. This is how we prove the national knew or should have known.
- University Records: We use public records requests and discovery to obtain the university’s prior disciplinary files on the organization, internal emails about the group, Clery Act reports, and notes from meetings with chapter advisors. This can prove the university’s prior knowledge.
- Medical & Psychological Documentation: Comprehensive records are vital: ER reports, hospitalization notes, lab results (like CK levels for rhabdomyolysis), and ongoing therapy records for PTSD, depression, and anxiety. These documents translate suffering into compensable damages.
- Witness Testimony: Other pledges are often key witnesses. Former members who left due to hazing, roommates, RAs, and even sympathetic active members can provide crucial accounts.
Our Strategic Advantages in These Fights
- Insurance Insider Knowledge: Our attorney, Mr. Lupe Peña, spent years as a defense attorney for a national insurance defense firm. He knows firsthand how insurance companies for fraternities and universities value claims, use delay tactics, and argue exclusions. We know their playbook because we used to run it.
- Experience Against Billion-Dollar Defendants: Managing partner Ralph Manginello was one of the few Texas plaintiff attorneys involved in the BP Texas City explosion litigation. We are not intimidated by the deep pockets or aggressive defense teams of national fraternities or university systems. We’ve faced them before.
- Dual Civil & Criminal Understanding: Ralph’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) means we understand criminal hazing charges. This allows us to effectively advise clients and witnesses who may have dual exposure and to navigate cases where criminal and civil proceedings overlap.
Recoverable Damages: What a Case Can Address
A civil lawsuit seeks to make the victim and their family whole, and to hold defendants accountable. Potential damages include:
- Economic Damages: All past and future medical expenses (ER, hospitalization, surgery, therapy, lifelong care), lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity if injuries are permanent.
- Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for physical pain and suffering, emotional trauma, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and PTSD.
- Wrongful Death Damages (for families): Funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and the profound loss of companionship, love, and guidance.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of egregiously reckless or malicious conduct, courts can award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter future behavior.
Practical Guides & Critical FAQs for Pasadena Families
For Parents: Warning Signs & Action Steps
Warning Signs Your Child May Be Being Hazed:
- Unexplained injuries, bruises, burns, or limping.
- Extreme fatigue, sleep deprivation, or drastic weight changes.
- Sudden secrecy about organization activities; being “on call” 24/7 via phone.
- Personality changes: increased anxiety, depression, or withdrawal.
- Financial requests for unexplained “fines,” alcohol, or gifts for members.
- Decline in academic performance.
If You Suspect Hazing:
- Prioritize Safety: If there’s immediate danger, call 911.
- Talk Openly: “I’m concerned about you. Is anything happening that makes you feel unsafe or humiliated?”
- Preserve Evidence: Help your child screenshot group chats and photograph injuries. Write down a timeline.
- Seek Medical Care: Even if injuries seem minor, get a professional evaluation and mention “hazing.”
- Consult a Lawyer Before Reporting: We can advise on how to report in a way that protects your child’s rights and preserves evidence. Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911.
For Students: Is This Hazing? How to Get Out Safely.
If you must ask “Is this hazing?” it probably is. Trust your gut. If you feel coerced, endangered, or humiliated, it’s hazing. You have the right to leave any group at any time. Your safety is more important than any membership.
To Exit Safely:
- Tell a trusted person outside the group (parent, RA, friend) first.
- Send a simple, written resignation to the chapter president: “I resign my membership/pledgeship effective immediately.”
- Do not attend a “final meeting.” That is a setup for pressure or intimidation.
- If you fear retaliation, report it immediately to campus police and the Dean of Students.
Critical Mistakes That Can Damage a Hazing Case
- Deleting Evidence: Do NOT let your child delete texts, group chats, or photos. This looks like a cover-up and destroys your case.
- Confronting the Organization Directly: This triggers their defense lawyers, who will immediately start coaching witnesses and securing evidence.
- Signing University “Resolution” Forms: Schools may offer a quick, confidential resolution that asks you to waive your right to sue. Do not sign anything without an attorney’s review.
- Posting on Social Media: Defense investigators monitor everything. Inconsistent statements can be used against you.
- Waiting to See What the University Does: Internal university processes are not designed for victim compensation or full accountability. They are designed for institutional risk management. Evidence disappears while you wait.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can we sue a university in Texas for hazing?
A: Yes, under specific circumstances. Public universities have some sovereign immunity, but exceptions exist for gross negligence, Title IX violations, and when suing individuals. Private universities like SMU and Baylor have fewer immunity protections. The specific facts of your case determine the viable claims.
Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit?
A: In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury, including hazing, is generally two years from the date of injury. However, complexities like the “discovery rule” or ongoing cover-ups can affect this. Do not wait. Evidence and memories fade quickly.
Q: What if it happened off-campus at a private house?
A: Location does not eliminate liability. Universities can still be liable based on their recognition of the group and knowledge of its activities. National fraternities are liable for the conduct of their chapters regardless of location. We investigate all connected properties and owners.
Q: Will this be public? Will my child’s name be in the news?
A: We prioritize your family’s privacy. Most cases settle confidentially before trial. We can request sealed court records and always strive to control the public narrative to protect your child.
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 or hourly costs. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. If we do not win, you owe us no attorney’s fees.
