Texas Hazing & Campus Abuse Guide: A Village of Buffalo Springs Resource for Texas Families

If Your Child Was Hazed, You’re Not Alone

A phone screen lights up in a dorm room near campus. For a parent in Village of Buffalo Springs, it’s the call every family dreads. Your child, a promising student, sounds distant and weary. Their explanation about “fraternity bonding” doesn’t match the bruises you notice during a weekend visit. The spark in their eyes has dimmed, replaced by anxiety and evasiveness. When you gently probe, they shut down—”It’s nothing, just tradition.” But the hospital bill that arrives weeks later tells a different story: rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, a four-day hospitalization followed by months of recovery. The university responds with carefully worded statements, while the national fraternity’s lawyers begin their defense.

This is not hypothetical. Right now in Texas, we’re representing Leonel Bermudez in a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters, and 13 fraternity leaders. His story—forced through extreme workouts, humiliation with a “pledge fanny pack,” and hazing that caused kidney failure—is happening to Texas students. For families in Village of Buffalo Springs and throughout Lubbock County, this guide explains what hazing looks like in 2025, your legal rights under Texas law, and how to protect your child when institutions fail them.

Immediate Crisis Response: First 48-Hour Checklist

If your child is in immediate danger:

Families in Village of Buffalo Springs and across West Texas face unique challenges when hazing occurs at distant campuses. Whether your student attends Texas Tech University in Lubbock or travels to UT Austin, Texas A&M, or other institutions, Texas law provides protections—and our firm stands ready to help you navigate this complex landscape.

What Hazing Really Looks Like in 2025: Beyond the Stereotypes

The Modern Definition: Coercion Disguised as Tradition

Hazing is no longer just about “pranks” or “initiation.” Under Texas Education Code Chapter 37, hazing means any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers mental or physical health for purposes of affiliation with any student organization. This includes activities that occur both on and off campus. For Village of Buffalo Springs parents, understanding this broad definition is crucial—what might seem like “team bonding” or “tradition” could meet Texas’ legal definition of hazing.

The Four Categories of Modern Hazing

1. Alcohol and Substance Hazing
The most common—and most deadly—form involves forced consumption. Unlike casual drinking, hazing involves coercion: “Big/Little” nights where pledges must finish entire bottles, “lineup” challenges where incorrect answers mean drinking, or “family tree” games with escalating penalties. In the University of Houston Pi Kappa Phi case, Leonel Bermudez was forced to consume milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting, then immediately required to sprint.

2. Physical Hazing
This extends beyond paddling to include:

“Smokings” or extreme calisthenics (100+ push-ups, 500 squats in the UH case)
Sleep deprivation through all-night “study sessions” or 3 AM wake-up calls
Exposure to extreme temperatures (forced outdoor activity in underwear during cold weather)
Forced consumption of unpalatable substances leading to vomiting

3. Psychological and Digital Hazing
The 24/7 nature of modern connectivity enables new forms of abuse:

Group chat monitoring with immediate response requirements
Social media humiliation through forced TikToks or Instagram stories
Geo-tracking demands via Find My Friends or Life360
“Silent treatment” or social isolation from non-members

4. Sexualized and Demeaning Hazing
This includes forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, racial or gender-based humiliation, and degrading costumes or positions. At Texas A&M, a Corps of Cadets lawsuit alleged a student was bound in a “roasted pig” position with an apple in his mouth.

Where Hazing Happens in Texas

While fraternities and sororities dominate headlines, hazing occurs across campus:
“>

Corps of Cadets and ROTC programs at Texas A&M and other institutions
Athletic teams from football to swimming (Northwestern University’s 2023 football scandal shows this isn’t just Greek life)
Spirit and tradition organizations like Texas Cowboys or similar groups
Marching bands and performance ensembles
Academic and honors societies

For Village of Buffalo Springs families, this means your child could face hazing risks even if they’re not participating in traditional Greek life.

Texas Hazing Law: What Village of Buffalo Springs Families Need to Know

The Texas Education Code: Your Legal Foundation

Texas has some of the nation’s clearest anti-hazing statutes under Education Code Chapter 37, Subchapter F. Here’s what matters for Lubbock County families:

§ 37.151 Definition: Hazing means any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers mental or physical health for purposes of affiliation. Location doesn’t matter—it applies on and off campus.

§ 37.152 Penalties:

Class B Misdemeanor: Basic hazing (up to 180 days jail, $2,000 fine)
Class A Misdemeanor: Hazing causing injury requiring medical treatment
State Jail Felony: Hazing causing serious bodily injury or death

§ 37.155 Critical Protection: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed,” it’s still hazing under Texas law.

§ 37.154 Reporter Immunity: Good-faith reporting provides protection from liability—crucial for witnesses afraid of retaliation.

Criminal vs. Civil Cases: Two Paths to Accountability

Criminal Cases:

Prosecuted by the state (Lubbock County District Attorney for local cases)
Focus on punishment: jail, fines, probation
Common charges: hazing, furnishing alcohol to minors, assault, manslaughter in fatal cases

Civil Cases:

Filed by victims or families for compensation
Focus on damages: medical bills, pain/suffering, future care costs
Types: negligence, wrongful death, negligent supervision

These can proceed simultaneously. A criminal conviction isn’t required for civil action—in fact, most hazing civil cases settle before criminal proceedings conclude.

Federal Law Overlay: Additional Protections

Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024):
Requires colleges receiving federal aid to publicly report hazing incidents and strengthen prevention programs by 2026.

Title IX: Applies when hazing involves sexual harassment or gender-based discrimination.

Clery Act: Requires reporting of certain crimes, including some hazing-related offenses.

Who Can Be Held Liable in Texas Hazing Cases?

Individual Students: Those who planned, executed, or concealed hazing
Chapter Leaders: Presidents, pledge educators, risk managers
Local Chapters: As legal entities with insurance coverage
National Organizations: For failure to supervise or enforce policies
Universities: For negligent supervision or deliberate indifference
Property Owners: Of houses or venues where hazing occurred
Alcohol Providers: Under Texas dram shop laws in some cases

The Leonel Bermudez lawsuit illustrates this comprehensive approach: we’re suing 13 individual members, the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters, the chapter’s housing corporation, the University of Houston, and the UH System Board of Regents.

National Hazing Case Patterns: Lessons for Texas Families

The Alcohol Poisoning Pattern: Repeated Tragedies

Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State University (2021): Pi Kappa Alpha pledge forced to consume a bottle of whiskey during “Big/Little” night; died from alcohol poisoning. Result: $10 million settlement ($7M from national Pike, $3M from BGSU).

Timothy Piazza – Penn State University (2017): Beta Theta Pi bid acceptance night with extreme drinking; fatal falls captured on security cameras; delayed medical care. Result: Dozens of criminal convictions and Pennsylvania’s Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law.

Max Gruver – LSU (2017): Phi Delta Theta “Bible study” drinking game; died with 0.495% BAC. Result: $6.1 million verdict and Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act making hazing a felony.

Andrew Coffey – Florida State University (2017): Pi Kappa Phi “Big Brother” night with handle of liquor; died from alcohol poisoning. Result: FSU suspended all Greek life temporarily.

Physical Hazing Patterns: Beyond Alcohol

Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College (2013): Pi Delta Psi pledge died from traumatic brain injury during blindfolded “glass ceiling” ritual at Pennsylvania retreat. Result: National fraternity convicted of manslaughter, banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years.

Danny Santulli – University of Missouri (2021): Phi Gamma Delta pledge suffered permanent brain damage from forced drinking during “pledge dad reveal.” Result: Settlements with 22 defendants, lifetime 24/7 care required.

Athletic Program Hazing: Not Just Greek Life

Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): Allegations of sexualized, racist hazing over years. Result: Multiple lawsuits, head coach fired, confidential settlements.

What These Cases Mean for Village of Buffalo Springs Families

These national precedents establish crucial legal principles:

Foreseeability: National organizations know these patterns exist
Institutional Liability: Universities can be held accountable
Substantial Damages: Juries award millions for catastrophic injuries
Legislative Response: Tragedy often drives legal reform

When these same national fraternities operate at Texas Tech, UT Austin, or Texas A&M, they bring these known risks to our state.

Texas Campus Focus: Where Village of Buffalo Springs Students Study

Texas Tech University: Lubbock’s Academic Anchor

For Village of Buffalo Springs Families: Located just minutes away in Lubbock, Texas Tech represents both opportunity and risk for local students. With 40,000+ students and active Greek life, hazing incidents here directly affect our community.

Recent History:

Multiple fraternity suspensions for alcohol and hazing violations
Corps of Cadets tradition culture requiring careful monitoring
Public disciplinary records showing ongoing compliance challenges

Jurisdiction Matters: Hazing cases involving Texas Tech students may be filed in Lubbock County courts, making local legal representation particularly valuable for Village of Buffalo Springs families.

What Texas Tech Parents Should Know:

The Office of Student Conduct handles hazing reports
Texas Tech Police Department has jurisdiction on campus
Lubbock Police Department handles off-campus incidents
The university’s public hazing log provides transparency

University of Houston: Current Ground Zero for Texas Hazing Litigation

The Leonel Bermudez Case: Our active $10 million lawsuit demonstrates what severe hazing looks like:

Dates: Fall 2025 pledge period
Locations: Pi Kappa Phi house, Culmore Drive residence, Yellowstone Boulevard Park
Hazing Methods: “Pledge fanny pack” humiliation, forced consumption until vomiting, extreme workouts (100+ push-ups, 500 squats), hose spraying “similar to waterboarding”
Injuries: Rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney failure, brown urine, 4-day hospitalization
Response: Chapter suspended November 6, 2025; charter surrendered November 14, 2025

UH’s Greek Ecosystem: 50+ fraternities and sororities across multiple councils:

Interfraternity Council (17+ fraternities)
Houston Panhellenic Council (6 sororities)
National Pan-Hellenic Council (Divine Nine)
Multicultural Greek Council

For Village of Buffalo Springs Families: While UH is hours away, the legal principles established in this case apply statewide. The pattern evidence we’re developing—showing national Pi Kappa Phi knew or should have known about these risks—sets precedents that protect all Texas students.

Texas A&M University: Tradition and Risk in College Station

Corps of Cadets Culture: The military-style environment has faced repeated hazing allegations, including a 2023 lawsuit alleging a cadet was bound in a “roasted pig” position with an apple in his mouth.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Lawsuit (2021): Pledges allegedly suffered chemical burns requiring skin grafts after substances including industrial-strength cleaner were poured on them.

Greek Life Scope: 60+ fraternities and sororities serving 70,000+ students.

What Aggie Parents Should Watch For:

Corps “Fish” year traditions that cross into hazing
Off-campus ranch events where supervision disappears
Alcohol poisoning risks in both Greek and Corps contexts

University of Texas at Austin: Transparency and Persistent Problems

Public Hazing Log: UT maintains one of Texas’ most transparent systems at hazing.utexas.edu, showing:

Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members forced to consume milk and perform extreme calisthenics
Multiple spirit groups sanctioned for forced workouts and alcohol hazing
Recurring violations despite probation and education mandates

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Incident (2024): Australian exchange student allegedly assaulted, suffering dislocated leg, broken ligaments, fractured tibia, and broken nose.

For Village of Buffalo Springs Families: UT’s transparency provides valuable pattern evidence for lawsuits. When organizations appear repeatedly on the hazing log, it demonstrates institutional knowledge of problems.

Southern Methodist University and Baylor University

SMU’s Affluent Greek Culture: Kappa Alpha Order suspension (2017) for paddling, forced drinking, and sleep deprivation shows even prestigious private institutions face hazing challenges.

Baylor’s Athletic Hazing: Baseball team suspensions (2020) demonstrate hazing extends beyond Greek life at religious institutions.

Fraternities and Sororities: National Patterns in Texas Chapters

Why National Histories Matter for Texas Cases

When Sigma Alpha Epsilon faces hazing allegations at Texas A&M, their national organization’s history becomes relevant:

2014: SAE eliminated pledging nationwide after multiple alcohol deaths
2023: University of Alabama SAE lawsuit alleging traumatic brain injury
Pattern: Multiple chapters suspended for alcohol hazing and physical abuse

This pattern evidence helps prove foreseeability—the national organization knew these risks existed but failed to prevent them at Texas chapters.

This overlap shows how national organizations operate through multiple legal entities in Texas—all potentially liable in hazing cases.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Strategy, and Damages

Evidence That Wins Cases in 2025

Digital Evidence (Most Critical):

Group Chats: GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage screenshots with timestamps
Social Media: Instagram stories, TikTok videos, Snapchat memories
Deleted Messages: Forensic recovery through digital experts
Location Data: Geo-tags, Find My Friends history, Uber/Lyft receipts

Physical Evidence:

Medical records showing rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, or injuries
Photographs of bruises, burns, or marks with progression documentation
Clothing with stains or damage from hazing activities
Objects used in hazing (paddles, props, alcohol containers)

Institutional Records:

University conduct files showing prior violations
National fraternity incident reports
Insurance policies and coverage documents
Email correspondence between chapter and nationals

The Damages Recoverable in Texas Hazing Cases

Economic Damages (Quantifiable):

Medical bills (ER, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation)
Future medical care (lifetime treatment for permanent injuries)
Lost educational costs (withdrawn semesters, transferred schools)
Diminished earning capacity (for career-impacting injuries)

Non-Economic Damages:

Physical pain and suffering
Emotional distress, PTSD, depression, anxiety
Humiliation and loss of dignity
Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death Damages:

Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of companionship and support
Emotional suffering of family members

Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, courts may award additional damages to punish defendants and deter future conduct.

Strategic Considerations for Texas Cases

Insurance Coverage Battles: Fraternity and university insurers often argue hazing is excluded as “intentional conduct.” Our insider knowledge from Mr. Lupe Peña’s former defense experience helps navigate these disputes.

Sovereign Immunity Challenges: Public universities like Texas Tech and UT have some immunity protections, but exceptions exist for gross negligence and Title IX violations.

Statute of Limitations: Generally two years from injury in Texas, but exceptions apply for minors, delayed discovery of injuries, or fraudulent concealment.
