Attorney 911: Hazing Victim Representation in Sitka, Alaska

🚨 Hazing is Happening in Sitka — And It’s Time to Fight Back

Sitka families: Your child trusted their university, their fraternity or sorority, and their teammates. They trusted that these institutions would keep them safe. But that trust was betrayed.

Hazing isn’t just “tradition” or “team bonding.” It’s abuse. It’s torture. And in Sitka, Alaska — just like in Houston, Texas — it’s putting students in the hospital.

At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for a hazing victim who was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This isn’t just happening in Texas — it’s happening in Alaska too.

If your child has been hazed in Sitka — whether in a fraternity, sorority, sports team, marching band, or any student organization — you have legal rights. And we will fight for you.

📍 Hazing in Sitka: What You Need to Know

1. Hazing is Illegal in Alaska

Alaska has strict anti-hazing laws (Alaska Stat. § 14.40.130). Just like in Texas, consent is not a defense — meaning even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law still holds the perpetrators accountable.

2. Sitka’s Universities & Greek Life Are at Risk

While Sitka is home to Sitka Campus of the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS), nearby institutions like University of Alaska Anchorage (UAA) and University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) have active Greek life chapters. The same national fraternities and sororities that have been sued for hazing nationwide — Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and more — operate in Alaska.

If your child was hazed at a Sitka-area institution, we can help.

3. Hazing Isn’t Just Fraternities — It’s Everywhere

Hazing happens in:
Fraternities & sororities (forced drinking, physical abuse, humiliation)
Sports teams (excessive physical punishment, sleep deprivation)
Marching bands (forced performances, physical exhaustion)
ROTC & military programs (extreme physical training, psychological abuse)
Honor societies & clubs (initiation rituals gone wrong)

If your child was injured, hospitalized, or traumatized by hazing in Sitka, we can pursue justice.

💔 What Hazing Looks Like in Sitka

Hazing isn’t just “a few pushups.” It’s systematic abuse designed to break students down. In our current case, a UH student was:

  • Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
  • Forced to do 500 squats until he collapsed
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to run through his own vomit
  • Hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure

This isn’t just happening in Texas. It’s happening in Alaska.

If your child experienced any of the following in Sitka, they were hazed:
Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging)
Extreme physical punishment (excessive exercise, beatings)
Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, forced driving)
Psychological torture (humiliation, threats, isolation)
Sexual abuse or harassment (forced nudity, inappropriate touching)
Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure)

If your child was injured, traumatized, or hospitalized because of hazing, we can help.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Sitka Hazing Victim

1. You Can Sue for Damages

Hazing victims in Sitka can pursue compensation for:
💰 Medical bills (hospital stays, therapy, rehabilitation)
💰 Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
💰 Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
💰 Punitive damages (to punish the organization for gross negligence)

2. Multiple Defendants Can Be Held Liable

We don’t just sue the students who did the hazing. We pursue everyone responsible:
🔹 The fraternity/sorority chapter (local organizers)
🔹 The national organization (if they knew and failed to stop it)
🔹 The university (if they ignored warnings or failed to supervise)
🔹 Individual members (those who participated or enabled hazing)

3. Criminal Charges May Apply

Hazing can lead to felony charges in Alaska, including:
🚨 Assault (physical abuse)
🚨 Reckless endangerment (putting someone in danger)
🚨 Manslaughter (if hazing leads to death)

We work with law enforcement to ensure criminal accountability.

🏆 Why Sitka Families Choose Attorney 911

1. We’re Currently Fighting a $10M Hazing Case

We’re in the middle of a landmark hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases, and we know how to win.

2. We Have Insider Knowledge of Greek Life

Our attorneys Ralph Manginello and Lupe Pena are former insurance defense lawyers — meaning we know how fraternities, universities, and insurance companies try to avoid liability. We use that knowledge against them.

3. We Travel to Sitka for Your Case

While we’re based in Texas, we serve clients nationwide. We will fly to Sitka for depositions, meetings, and court appearances to ensure your case gets the attention it deserves.

4. We Work on Contingency — No Upfront Costs

You pay nothing unless we win your case. We don’t get paid unless you get paid.

5. We’ve Won Millions for Victims

We’ve secured multi-million-dollar settlements for personal injury victims, including those injured in refinery accidents, truck crashes, and workplace injuries. We bring that same aggressive approach to hazing cases.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Sitka

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Even if injuries seem minor, get a medical evaluation. Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, and psychological trauma can have long-term consequences.

2. Document Everything

Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any evidence
Save all communications (texts, social media, emails)
Get witness names (other victims, bystanders)
Keep medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes)

3. Do NOT Talk to the Organization or Their Lawyers

Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to cover this up. They may offer a settlement that’s far less than what you deserve. Do not sign anything without legal counsel.

4. Call Attorney 911 Immediately

Time is critical. Alaska has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.
