Hazing Victims in Kusilvak Census Area: Your Rights and How to Fight Back

The Hazing Crisis Hits Home in Kusilvak Census Area

Kusilvak Census Area families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their students. They believe Greek organizations are about brotherhood and leadership. That trust is being betrayed.

Right now, in Houston, our attorneys are fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston. A young man named Leonel Bermudez was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, struck with wooden paddles, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This isn’t happening just in Texas. It’s happening at universities near Kusilvak Census Area too.

The same national fraternities that operate in Houston have chapters at universities throughout Alaska. The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist in Kusilvak Census Area. The same negligence that allowed hazing at UH exists at Kusilvak Census Area institutions. Your child could be next.

What Kusilvak Census Area Families Need to Know About Hazing

This Isn’t “Tradition” – It’s Abuse

Hazing isn’t about building character. It’s not about brotherhood. It’s not about “paying your dues.” Hazing is abuse. It’s assault. It’s torture. And it’s happening to students from Kusilvak Census Area right now.

Common hazing activities include:

  • Forced excessive alcohol consumption (binge drinking until vomiting or passing out)
  • Extreme physical punishment (500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until collapse)
  • Waterboarding and simulated drowning
  • Beating with wooden paddles or other objects
  • Sleep deprivation and exhaustion
  • Psychological torture and humiliation
  • Forced consumption of food or non-food substances until vomiting
  • Sexual humiliation and assault

These aren’t pranks. These are crimes. And they’re happening at universities near Kusilvak Census Area.

The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars. It causes real, life-threatening medical conditions:

Rhabdomyolysis – When Muscles Break Down

When students are forced to perform extreme physical activities like 500 squats or 100-yard crawls, their muscles can literally break down. This releases a protein called myoglobin into the bloodstream that can destroy the kidneys and cause acute kidney failure – just like what happened to our client in Houston.

Symptoms include:

  • Severe muscle pain and weakness
  • Dark brown or tea-colored urine (sign of muscle breakdown)
  • Difficulty moving or walking
  • Nausea, vomiting, confusion
  • In severe cases, death

Alcohol Poisoning – A Silent Killer

Forced binge drinking is one of the most common hazing activities. When students are pressured to drink large amounts of alcohol quickly, their blood alcohol content can reach deadly levels.

Symptoms include:

  • Confusion or stupor
  • Vomiting
  • Seizures
  • Slow or irregular breathing
  • Blue-tinged or pale skin
  • Low body temperature
  • Unconsciousness – which can lead to coma and death

Traumatic Brain Injury

Physical abuse during hazing can cause traumatic brain injuries from:

  • Being struck with objects (paddles, bottles, etc.)
  • Falling from exhaustion
  • Being thrown into walls or objects
  • Being hit or tackled

Symptoms include:

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness or loss of balance
  • Memory problems
  • Mood changes
  • Seizures
  • Permanent cognitive impairment

Psychological Trauma – The Invisible Injury

The psychological damage from hazing can last a lifetime. Victims often suffer from:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Severe anxiety and depression
  • Suicidal thoughts
  • Trust issues and difficulty forming relationships
  • Academic decline
  • Substance abuse as self-medication

Hazing doesn’t just hurt students physically – it destroys their mental health too.

The Legal Reality: Hazing Is Illegal in Alaska

Alaska has strong laws against hazing. Under Alaska Statute § 14.43.120:

“Hazing” means any action or situation that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of an institution of higher education.

This means:

  • Hazing is a crime in Alaska
  • Universities can be held legally responsible for hazing that occurs on their campuses
  • Greek organizations can be shut down for hazing violations
  • Individuals who haze can face criminal charges and civil lawsuits

Most importantly: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if a student “agrees” to participate in hazing activities, the law still considers it illegal.

Who Is Liable for Hazing in Kusilvak Census Area?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held legally responsible:

1. The Local Chapter

The fraternity or sorority chapter that directly organized and conducted the hazing activities is primarily responsible. This includes:

  • Chapter officers (president, vice president, pledgemaster, etc.)
  • Active members who participated in hazing
  • Members who witnessed and failed to stop hazing

2. The National Organization

National fraternities and sororities have legal responsibility for their chapters. They:

  • Set policies and rules
  • Provide training (or fail to provide proper training)
  • Conduct inspections (or fail to conduct proper inspections)
  • Can suspend or close chapters (or fail to do so when problems exist)

In our Houston case, Pi Kappa Phi National knew about a “hazing crisis” but failed to enforce anti-hazing rules.

3. The University

Universities have a legal duty to protect students from foreseeable harm. They can be held liable for:

  • Failing to supervise Greek organizations
  • Failing to investigate hazing reports
  • Failing to enforce anti-hazing policies
  • Allowing hazing to occur on university property

In our Houston case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where the hazing occurred.

4. Individual Members

Every person who participated in, organized, or failed to stop hazing can be held personally liable. This includes:

  • The member who waterboarded a pledge
  • The member who forced a pledge to do 500 squats
  • The member who struck a pledge with a paddle
  • The member who witnessed abuse and did nothing

In the Stone Foltz case, the chapter president was ordered to pay $6.5 million personally.

5. Housing Corporations

Many fraternities and sororities have separate housing corporations that own their chapter houses. These entities can be held liable for:

  • Failing to maintain safe premises
  • Allowing hazing to occur in their buildings
  • Failing to report hazing incidents

Real Cases, Real Money: What Hazing Victims Can Recover

Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Here’s what other families have recovered:

Case University Fraternity Outcome Amount
Stone Foltz Bowling Green State Pi Kappa Alpha Settlement $10.1 million
Maxwell Gruver Louisiana State Phi Delta Theta Jury Verdict $6.1 million
Timothy Piazza Penn State Beta Theta Pi Settlement $110+ million
Andrew Coffey Florida State Pi Kappa Phi Settlement Confidential (multi-million)
Adam Oakes Virginia Commonwealth Delta Chi Settlement $4+ million

These aren’t isolated cases. These are the real financial consequences of hazing. Kusilvak Census Area families can recover the same compensation.

What Kusilvak Census Area Families Can Recover in a Hazing Lawsuit

1. Medical Expenses

  • Emergency room treatment
  • Hospital stays
  • Doctor visits
  • Physical therapy
  • Mental health counseling
  • Medications
  • Future medical care (dialysis, kidney transplant, etc.)

2. Lost Wages and Earning Capacity

  • Time missed from work during recovery
  • Lost internship opportunities
  • Reduced earning capacity if injuries affect career options
  • Future lost earnings if permanent disability

3. Pain and Suffering

  • Physical pain from injuries
  • Emotional distress from abuse
  • Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
  • Humiliation and shame
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

4. Punitive Damages

When hazing is particularly egregious (like waterboarding or forcing 500 squats), courts can award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoers and deter future misconduct.

5. Wrongful Death Damages

If hazing results in death, families can recover:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of companionship
  • Loss of future financial support
  • Pain and suffering before death

What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Kusilvak Census Area

Step 1: Ensure Safety and Get Medical Attention

If your child is in immediate danger, call 911.

Even if injuries seem minor, seek medical attention immediately. Some hazing injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms right away. Medical records create crucial evidence for your case.

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Document everything:

  • Photos and videos:

    • Injuries at all stages of healing
    • Locations where hazing occurred
    • Items used in hazing (paddles, hoses, alcohol bottles, etc.)
    • Clothing worn during hazing
  • Text messages and social media:

    • Screenshots of all communications about hazing
    • Group chats (GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.)
    • Threats or admissions of guilt
  • Physical evidence:

    • Clothing with blood, vomit, or other substances
    • Objects used in hazing
    • Any written materials about pledge activities
  • Witness information:

    • Names and contact information for other pledges
    • Names and contact information for bystanders
    • Names of anyone who tried to help

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization

Do not:

  • Confront fraternity/sorority leadership
  • Give statements to university administrators
  • Sign anything from the organization
  • Post about the incident on social media
  • Delete any messages or posts

The organization will try to control the narrative. They will try to minimize their liability. They will try to intimidate you. Don’t let them.

Step 4: Report the Incident

  • File a police report – Hazing is a crime
  • Report to the university – Title IX office, student affairs, Greek life office
  • Report to the national organization – If it’s a fraternity/sorority, report to their national headquarters

Step 5: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

Call 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free consultation.

The sooner you contact us, the sooner we can:

  • Preserve evidence before it disappears
  • Prevent the organization from intimidating witnesses
  • Protect your child from retaliation
  • Begin building your case

Time is critical. Evidence disappears quickly, and statutes of limitations apply.

Common Questions from Kusilvak Census Area Families

“Is this really worth pursuing?”

Yes. Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. The Stone Foltz family received $10.1 million. The Maxwell Gruver family received a $6.1 million jury verdict. The Timothy Piazza family received over $110 million.

But it’s not just about the money. It’s about:

  • Holding the people who hurt your child accountable
  • Preventing this from happening to another Kusilvak Census Area family
  • Sending a message that hazing won’t be tolerated

“Will this affect my child’s future?”

We understand the concern about retaliation or academic consequences. We protect our clients. Many hazing cases result in:

  • The chapter being shut down
  • Individual members being expelled
  • Universities implementing real oversight

The best way to protect your child’s future is to stop the cycle of abuse now.

“The fraternity says my child consented. Is that a defense?”

No. Alaska law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law still considers it illegal.

“We’re in Kusilvak Census Area. Can you really help us?”

Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide. Our federal court authority and willingness to travel mean distance is not a barrier. We’ve handled cases from Alaska to Florida.

“How much does this cost?”

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency – we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes from the settlement or verdict, so you never pay out of pocket.

The Kusilvak Census Area Hazing Warning Signs

Parents: Know what to look for.

Hazing often starts subtly and escalates. Watch for these warning signs:

Behavioral Changes

  • Sudden secrecy about activities
  • Avoiding questions about their organization
  • Unexplained bruises or injuries
  • Fatigue or exhaustion
  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Withdrawal from friends and family
  • Increased anxiety or depression
  • Sudden academic decline

Physical Signs

  • Bruises, cuts, or burns
  • Difficulty walking or moving
  • Signs of dehydration
  • Weight loss
  • Bloodshot eyes

Organizational Red Flags

  • They’re required to complete tasks or errands for members
  • They’re forced to wear specific clothing or carry specific items
  • They’re subjected to verbal abuse or humiliation
  • They talk about “traditions” that sound dangerous or degrading

If you notice these signs, ask questions. If your child is evasive, that’s a red flag.

What Kusilvak Census Area Universities Are Doing Wrong

Universities near Kusilvak Census Area are failing to protect students from hazing. Here’s what they’re doing wrong:

1. They Treat Hazing as a PR Problem, Not a Safety Problem

When hazing incidents occur, universities often:

  • Try to keep it quiet
  • Minimize the severity
  • Protect their reputation instead of students
  • Wait until someone is hospitalized or dies before acting

This is exactly what happened at University of Houston. They had a hazing incident in 2017 that hospitalized a student. They did nothing meaningful to prevent it from happening again. In 2025, another student was hospitalized.

2. They Outsource Oversight to National Organizations

Universities often claim they can’t control Greek organizations because they’re “private.” This is false.

  • Universities grant recognition to Greek organizations
  • Universities control access to campus facilities
  • Universities own fraternity houses in many cases
  • Universities receive tuition money from students in Greek organizations

They have the power to stop hazing. They choose not to use it.

3. They Implement Ineffective “Solutions”

After hazing incidents, universities often implement:

  • More training – That no one pays attention to
  • More reporting – That no one follows
  • More policies – That no one enforces

These aren’t solutions. They’re theater.

4. They Protect the Institution, Not the Students

When hazing occurs, universities:

  • Try to limit their liability
  • Avoid bad publicity
  • Protect their relationship with Greek organizations
  • Leave students and families to fend for themselves

This is unacceptable. Universities must prioritize student safety over institutional reputation.

How Kusilvak Census Area Families Can Make a Difference

1. Report Hazing Incidents

  • File police reports
  • Report to university administrators
  • Report to national organization headquarters

2. Demand Accountability

  • Ask universities what they’re doing to prevent hazing
  • Demand transparency about hazing incidents
  • Push for real oversight of Greek organizations

3. Support Anti-Hazing Legislation

  • Contact Alaska legislators about strengthening anti-hazing laws
  • Support federal legislation like the Stop Campus Hazing Act

4. Choose Attorney 911

If your child has been hazed, we can help you:

  • Hold the responsible parties accountable
  • Recover compensation for your child’s injuries
