Hazing Victims in Desha County Deserve Justice – We Can Help
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or student organization near Desha County, you have legal rights – and we can fight for you.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently representing a University of Houston student hospitalized with kidney failure after brutal hazing – including waterboarding, forced exercise, and physical abuse. This same fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, has chapters across America, including near Desha County. The same universities that failed to protect our client exist near Desha County. And the same culture of abuse that nearly killed him is happening right here in Arkansas.
Desha County families: You are not alone. We will fight for you just like we’re fighting for our Houston client.
This Happens in Desha County Too
Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities – it happens right here in Arkansas. Fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and others have active chapters at colleges near Desha County. These same organizations have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries nationwide.
If your child was hazed at:
- University of Arkansas at Monticello (just 30 minutes from Desha County)
- University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (less than an hour away)
- Arkansas State University (in Jonesboro)
- Any other college near Desha County
We can help. Distance is not a barrier. We serve hazing victims across Arkansas, including Desha County.
What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal)
Hazing isn’t just “pranks” or “tradition” – it’s abuse. Under Arkansas law, hazing includes:
✅ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or other substances until vomiting
✅ Psychological torture – Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation
✅ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
✅ Dangerous activities – Extreme weather exposure, confined spaces, servitude
Arkansas Code § 6-5-201 makes hazing a crime. If your child was injured, the fraternity, university, and individuals involved can be held legally and financially responsible.
Real Cases. Real Justice.
We don’t just talk about hazing – we’re fighting it right now. Our attorneys are representing a student in a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after he was hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from extreme hazing.
This isn’t the first time Pi Kappa Phi has harmed a student:
- 2017: Andrew Coffey died at Florida State Pi Kappa Phi from forced alcohol consumption
- 2025: Our client was hospitalized at University of Houston Pi Kappa Phi from waterboarding and forced exercise
They had 8 years to fix their culture. They didn’t. Now, they will pay.
Other Hazing Cases That Won Millions:
💰 $10.1 million – Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha)
💰 $6.1 million – Maxwell Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta)
💰 $110+ million – Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi)
These results are possible for Desha County victims too.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
If your child was hazed, multiple parties can be sued, including:
🔹 The fraternity/sorority chapter – The local group that organized the hazing
🔹 The national organization – They often have deep pockets and insurance
🔹 The university – If they knew about hazing and failed to stop it (many do)
🔹 Individual members – The president, pledgemaster, and active members who participated
🔹 Alumni/hosts – If hazing occurred at their homes
🔹 Insurance companies – Many fraternities and universities have liability coverage
We know how to find the money. We’ve done it before.
What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Desha County
If your child was hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, memories fade, and legal deadlines expire. Here’s what to do right now:
✅ Step 1: Seek Medical Attention
- Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and alcohol poisoning can be life-threatening

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions About Hazing in Desha County
Q: My child was hazed, but they don’t want to sue. Should we still call a lawyer?
A: Yes. Even if your child doesn’t want to sue, evidence must be preserved. Hazing is a crime, and universities/fraternities often destroy evidence once they know a lawsuit is coming. A lawyer can protect your child’s rights and ensure the truth comes out.
Q: Can we sue if the hazing happened off-campus?
A: Yes. Hazing is illegal on or off campus. If it happened at a fraternity house, an apartment, or anywhere else, you can still sue.
Q: What if the fraternity says it was “just tradition”?
A: “Tradition” is not a legal defense. Assault, battery, and reckless endangerment are crimes – no matter what they call it. If your child was injured, they are liable.
Q: How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on contingency, meaning we only get paid if we win your case. You pay $0 unless we recover compensation for you.
Q: What if my child was drinking during the hazing?
A: Forced drinking is still hazing. Even if your child consumed alcohol voluntarily, the fraternity can still be liable for injuries caused by their actions.
Q: Can we sue the university if they didn’t know about the hazing?
A: Possibly. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they failed to monitor Greek life or ignored prior hazing incidents, they can be held liable for negligent supervision.
Q: What if my child is afraid of retaliation?
A: We understand. Many hazing victims fear backlash. We protect our clients’ identities and take legal action to prevent retaliation. Your safety is our priority.
Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit?
A: Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Do not wait. Evidence disappears, and your legal rights expire.
