🔥 What Is Hazing? It’s Not Tradition—It’s Abuse.

Hazing is not harmless fun. It’s not “building brotherhood.” It’s not “just part of pledging.”

Hazing is:
✔ Torture – Waterboarding, forced exercise until collapse, beatings with wooden paddles
✔ Assault – Physical abuse, sexual humiliation, sleep deprivation
✔ Reckless Endangerment – Forced alcohol consumption, extreme workouts causing kidney failure
✔ Psychological Trauma – PTSD, anxiety, depression, fear of retaliation

In our current case, a Pi Kappa Phi pledge was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Made to eat until vomiting, then forced to keep running
• Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure

This isn’t just happening in Texas—it’s happening near Franklin County, AL.

⚖️ Alabama Hazing Laws: What Franklin County Families Need to Know

Alabama’s Anti-Hazing Law (Ala. Code § 16-1-23)

Hazing is a Class C misdemeanor in Alabama, punishable by:

• Up to 3 months in jail
• Fines up to $500

But civil lawsuits allow victims to recover much more—millions in some cases.

Key Legal Points for Franklin County:

1. Consent is NOT a defense – Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent doesn’t matter.
2. Universities can be sued – If the school knew about hazing and failed to stop it, they share liability.
3. National fraternities can be sued – They have deep pockets and insurance policies.
4. Individual members can be sued – Fraternity presidents, pledgemasters, and active members can be held personally liable.

Franklin County families have strong legal rights under Alabama law.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Franklin County

✅ Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get medical documentation (rhabdomyolysis, concussions, and psychological trauma can have delayed symptoms).
• Example: Our client was hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure after hazing.

✅ Step 2: Preserve Evidence

• Save all texts, GroupMe messages, Snapchats, and emails about hazing.
• Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any physical evidence.

✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone

• They will try to control the narrative.

• They will intimidate witnesses.
• Anything you say can be used against you.
