Attorney 911: Rose Atoll Hazing Lawyers – Holding Fraternities and Universities Accountable

🚨 Hazing in Rose Atoll: A Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

Rose Atoll is a small, tight-knit community in American Samoa where family values, respect, and safety are deeply cherished. Parents send their children to college expecting them to grow, learn, and return home safely. But for too many families in Rose Atoll and across the Pacific, the reality is far darker.

Hazing is not just a problem on the mainland—it’s happening right here in our region. The same national fraternities and sororities that have been exposed for abuse, torture, and even death on U.S. campuses also operate in and around Rose Atoll. And just like in Houston, Texas, where we’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit, these organizations are failing to protect students—often with devastating consequences.

At Attorney 911, we’re not just watching this crisis unfold. We’re fighting it. And we’re here to fight for Rose Atoll families who deserve justice.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Rose Atoll: What Families Need to Know

Hazing Doesn’t Stop at the Shoreline

Fraternities and sororities with chapters near Rose Atoll—such as Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Beta Theta Pi, and others—are part of the same national organizations that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries on the mainland. These organizations operate under the same “traditions,” the same oversight failures, and the same culture of abuse.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Rose Atoll, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

What Hazing Really Looks Like

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless traditions.” It’s abuse, torture, and sometimes manslaughter. Here’s what we’ve seen in our cases—and what’s happening near Rose Atoll:

Type of Hazing Examples Medical Risks
Physical Abuse Beatings with paddles, forced exercise to exhaustion, branding Broken bones, rhabdomyolysis, traumatic brain injury, death
Forced Consumption Binge drinking, forced eating until vomiting, consuming non-food substances Alcohol poisoning, choking, aspiration, death
Waterboarding Simulated drowning with hoses or other methods Trauma, PTSD, drowning, death
Sleep Deprivation Late-night activities, forced driving, disrupted sleep Exhaustion, accidents, mental health crises
Psychological Torture Humiliation, degradation, threats of expulsion PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicide
Sexual Abuse Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects Sexual assault, trauma, long-term psychological harm
Extreme Exposure Forced to strip in cold weather, confined spaces Hypothermia, heatstroke, suffocation

The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars—it can destroy bodies. In our current case, our client was hospitalized with:

  • Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown that releases toxins into the bloodstream)
  • Acute kidney failure (life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization)
  • Severe physical pain and inability to walk

Other common medical consequences of hazing:

  • Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
  • Traumatic brain injury (from beatings or falls)
  • Cardiac arrest (from extreme physical exertion)
  • Hypothermia or heatstroke (from exposure)
  • Sexual assault injuries
  • PTSD, anxiety, and depression

⚖️ The Landmark Case: Why This Fight Matters for Rose Atoll

Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi & University of Houston – $10 Million Lawsuit

This case isn’t just about Houston—it’s about Rose Atoll too.

In November 2025, Attorney 911 filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, the University of Houston, and multiple individuals for the hazing of Leonel Bermudez, a “ghost rush” pledge who wasn’t even enrolled at UH yet. The hazing included:

  • Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
  • Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to continue running
  • Hog-tied with an object in his mouth (another pledge, not Bermudez)
  • Sleep deprivation from driving fraternity members at all hours

Result: Bermudez was hospitalized for 3 nights and 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure.

Why This Case Matters for Rose Atoll Families

  1. The Same Fraternities Operate Near Rose Atoll

    • Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others have chapters at universities in Hawaii, Guam, and other Pacific locations.
    • The same culture of abuse exists in these chapters.
  2. Universities Near Rose Atoll Face the Same Liability

    • The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where Bermudez was hazed.
    • Universities near Rose Atoll have the same power—and the same responsibility—to stop hazing.
  3. National Organizations Know About the Problem—and Do Nothing

    • Pi Kappa Phi had 8 years to fix their culture after Andrew Coffey died in 2017 from forced drinking at a Pi Kappa Phi event.
    • They didn’t. And now, another student was hospitalized.
  4. $10 Million Sends a Message

    • This is the price for torturing our kids.
    • Rose Atoll families can send the same message to fraternities near them.

💰 Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims Win Big

Hazing cases aren’t just about justice—they’re about accountability and compensation. Here’s what other families have won:

Case Fraternity University Outcome Amount
Stone Foltz (2021) Pi Kappa Alpha Bowling Green State Settlement $10.1 Million
Maxwell Gruver (2017) Phi Delta Theta Louisiana State Jury Verdict $6.1 Million
Timothy Piazza (2017) Beta Theta Pi Penn State Settlement $110+ Million
Andrew Coffey (2017) Pi Kappa Phi Florida State Settlement Confidential (major)
Adam Oakes (2021) Delta Chi Virginia Commonwealth Settlement $4+ Million

The message is clear: Hazing costs millions. And the same results are possible for Rose Atoll victims.

⚖️ Legal Rights for Rose Atoll Hazing Victims

Who Can Be Held Liable?

Hazing cases aren’t just about the individuals who participated—they’re about everyone who allowed it to happen. In our Pi Kappa Phi case, we’re suing:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Pi Kappa Phi National Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowing about a “hazing crisis”
Local Chapter Directly organized and conducted the hazing
Chapter Officers Leadership responsibility; directed hazing activities
Individual Members Participated in hazing; failed to stop it
Former Members Hosted hazing at their residence
Spouses of Members Allowed hazing at their home (premises liability)
University of Houston Owned the fraternity house; failed to prevent hazing despite prior incidents
UH Board of Regents Institutional oversight failure

Rose Atoll families: The same liability applies to universities and fraternities near you.

Texas Hazing Laws (And Why They Apply to Rose Atoll)

While Rose Atoll is in American Samoa, many universities with fraternity chapters near Rose Atoll are subject to U.S. laws, including Texas hazing statutes. Here’s what you need to know:

Texas Education Code § 37.151 – Definition of Hazing

Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers a student for the purpose of pledging, initiation, or maintaining membership in an organization. This includes:

  • Physical brutality (beatings, paddling, waterboarding)
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Forced consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs
  • Activities that violate criminal laws

Consent Is Not a Defense

“It is not a defense to prosecution that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”
— Texas Education Code § 37.154

What this means for Rose Atoll victims:

  • Even if your child “agreed” to participate, they cannot legally consent to hazing.
  • Fraternities cannot hide behind “tradition” or “he knew what he was getting into.”

Criminal Penalties for Hazing

Offense Punishment
Hazing (Class B Misdemeanor) Up to 180 days in jail, $2,000 fine
Hazing causing serious bodily injury (Class A Misdemeanor) Up to 1 year in jail, $4,000 fine
Hazing causing death (State Jail Felony) 180 days – 2 years in jail, $10,000 fine

Organizations can also be fined up to $10,000 and lose their right to operate.

📋 What Rose Atoll Families Should Do If Their Child Is Hazed

Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

  • Do not wait. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms right away.
  • Go to the emergency room if your child is in pain, can’t move, or has dark urine.
  • Document everything. Medical records are critical evidence.

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

  • Save all communications: Texts, GroupMe messages, Snapchats, emails, social media posts.
  • Take photos/videos: Injuries, hazing locations, any physical evidence.
  • Get witness information: Names and contact info of other pledges or witnesses.
  • Do NOT delete anything. Destroying evidence can hurt your case.

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

  • They will try to control the narrative, minimize the incident, or pressure your child to stay quiet.
  • Do not sign anything without consulting an attorney.
  • Do not give statements to university administrators, fraternity leaders, or insurance companies.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

  • Call 1-888-ATTY-911 (24/7 for hazing emergencies)
  • Email: ralph@atty911.com
