🛡️🚨 Hazing Victims in Denali Borough: You Are Not Alone

If your child was hazed at a university near Denali Borough, we can help. We are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston — and we will bring the same aggressive representation to Denali Borough families.

🏢 The Hazing Crisis in Denali Borough

Denali Borough is home to hardworking families who send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But the reality is shocking: hazing happens at universities across Alaska and the nation, including institutions near Denali Borough.

The same fraternities involved in deadly hazing incidents nationwide — Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta — operate chapters at universities near Denali Borough. These organizations have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries, yet the abuse continues.

If your child attends or plans to attend college near Denali Borough, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

🚨 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Denali Borough

In November 2025, our client Leonel Bermudez was hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure after being subjected to weeks of brutal hazing at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston.

What they did to him:

Waterboarded him with a garden hose (simulated drowning — a form of torture)
Forced him to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
Beat him with wooden paddles
Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him keep running
Another pledge lost consciousness during forced workouts
A pledge was hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour

Leonel wasn’t even a University of Houston student yet. He was a “ghost rush” — a prospective member expected to transfer for the upcoming semester. They hazed someone who wasn’t even enrolled.

The result:

3 nights, 4 days in the hospital with kidney failure
Brown urine — a classic sign of muscle breakdown from rhabdomyolysis
Unable to walk or stand for days
Lifelong health risks from kidney damage

This is not “tradition.” This is not “brotherhood.” This is torture.

💔 Why Denali Borough Families Should Be Concerned

1. The Same Fraternities Operate Near Denali Borough

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national fraternities have chapters at universities across Alaska. The same organizations that paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries are active near Denali Borough.

If it happened in Houston, it can happen in Denali Borough.

2. Universities Near Denali Borough Have the Same Liability

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where Leonel was hazed. They had the power to inspect, regulate, and shut down the chapter — but they failed to act.

Universities near Denali Borough have the same responsibility to protect students. When they fail, they can be held legally accountable.

3. Hazing Is a Nationwide Epidemic

55% of students in Greek organizations experience hazing
40% of student athletes report hazing
Since 2000, there has been at least one hazing death every year in the U.S.
95% of hazing victims do not report it — often due to fear of retaliation

Denali Borough families: Your child could be next.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Denali Borough

1. Hazing Is Illegal in Alaska

Alaska has strict anti-hazing laws that make it a crime to engage in hazing activities. Consent is not a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity and its members can still be held liable.

2. You Can Sue for Damages

If your child was hazed near Denali Borough, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
Lost wages (if your child missed work or internships)
Educational disruption (tuition, scholarships, academic setbacks)
Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)

We are currently seeking $10 million for our client in Houston. Denali Borough families deserve the same aggressive representation.

3. Multiple Defendants Can Be Held Liable

In our case, we are suing:

The local fraternity chapter (directly responsible for hazing)
The national fraternity organization (failed to supervise despite knowing about hazing)
The university (owned the property and failed to protect students)
Individual members (participated in or facilitated hazing)

Denali Borough families: We will pursue every liable party.

📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Denali Borough

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) can be life-threatening if untreated.
Alcohol poisoning from forced drinking can be fatal.
Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) requires professional treatment.

Even if your child seems “fine,” get them checked. Symptoms may be delayed.

2. Preserve All Evidence

Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any items used in hazing.
Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, emails, social media posts).
Document everything (dates, times, locations, what was said/done).
Get witness contact information (other pledges, bystanders).

Do not delete anything — even if it seems embarrassing or incriminating. It could be crucial evidence.

3. Do NOT Confront the Organization Alone

Do not talk to fraternity/sorority leadership without legal counsel.
Do not give statements to university administrators or insurance companies.
Do not sign anything from the organization or university.

They will try to control the narrative. We will protect your rights.

4. Contact an Attorney Immediately

Statute of limitations: You typically have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit.
Evidence disappears quickly — witnesses forget, messages are deleted, security footage is erased.
The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.

A: Most cases settle out of court. If your case does go to trial, we will prepare your child thoroughly and support them every step of the way.
