Hazing Lawyers in Saline County, AR: Protecting Students & Holding Institutions Accountable
Saline County Families: Your Child Deserves Justice
Hazing isn’t just “tradition” or “harmless fun” — it’s abuse. And when fraternities, sororities, or universities near Saline County engage in dangerous initiation rituals, they must be held accountable.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from extreme physical abuse. This same fraternity — and others like it — operate at universities near Saline County. If your child has been hazed, we will fight for you with the same intensity.

Hazing in Arkansas: A Hidden Crisis
Saline County is home to hardworking families who send their children to college expecting safety. But Greek organizations at Arkansas universities — including those near Saline County — have a long history of dangerous hazing rituals:
- Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging)
- Extreme physical punishment (beatings, paddling, forced exercise)
- Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, early-morning tasks)
- Psychological abuse (humiliation, threats, isolation)
- Waterboarding and simulated drowning (yes, this happens in Arkansas too)
These aren’t “pranks” — they’re crimes. And when universities fail to stop them, they share the blame.
Why Saline County Families Choose Attorney 911
1. We’re Fighting Hazing RIGHT NOW
While other law firms talk about hazing, we’re actively litigating a $10 million case against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure — the same abuse that happens at Arkansas universities.
Saline County families get the same aggressive representation we’re bringing to this case.
2. We Know How to Win Against Powerful Defendants
Universities and national fraternities have teams of lawyers working to minimize your claim. We know their tactics because both of our attorneys are former insurance defense lawyers — we’ve seen their playbook from the inside.
We use that knowledge to dismantle their defenses and maximize your recovery.
3. We Come to Saline County
While we’re based in Texas (Houston, Austin, Beaumont), we serve hazing victims nationwide. If your child was hazed at a university near Saline County, we will:
- Travel to Saline County for depositions, trials, and client meetings
- Offer remote consultations via video call
- Handle all communications with the university and fraternity
Distance is not a barrier to justice.
4. No Upfront Costs — You Pay Nothing Unless We Win
We understand that legal fees can be a concern, especially when dealing with medical bills and emotional trauma. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case.
If we don’t recover compensation for you, you owe us nothing.
5. We Speak Spanish — Se Habla Español
Many hazing victims in Arkansas come from Hispanic families. We have bilingual staff who can assist in Spanish, ensuring nothing gets lost in translation.
No language barriers. No excuses.
What Counts as Hazing in Arkansas?
Under Arkansas law (A.C.A. § 6-5-201), hazing includes any act that:
✅ Endangers the physical or mental health of a student
✅ Involves forced consumption of alcohol, drugs, or food
✅ Involves physical brutality (beatings, paddling, branding)
✅ Involves sleep deprivation or extreme exhaustion
✅ Involves psychological abuse (humiliation, threats, isolation)
✅ Is done for the purpose of initiation into a student organization
Important: Arkansas law states that consent is NOT a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held liable.
Who Can Be Sued for Hazing in Saline County?
When hazing occurs, multiple parties share responsibility:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Fraternity/Sorority Organization | Failed to supervise chapters despite knowing about hazing |
| University | Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies; may own the fraternity house |
| Individual Members | Participated in or facilitated hazing |
| Chapter Officers (President, Pledgemaster) | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing activities |
| Alumni Members | Hosted hazing events at their homes |
| Insurance Companies | Provide liability coverage for organizations and individuals |
In our current case, we’re suing:
- Pi Kappa Phi National
- The local UH chapter
- The University of Houston (because they owned the fraternity house)
- Individual members and officers
Saline County families can pursue the same defendants.
What Damages Can Saline County Hazing Victims Recover?
Hazing can cause serious physical and psychological harm. Saline County victims may be entitled to compensation for:
💰 Economic Damages
- Medical bills (hospital stays, surgeries, therapy)
- Future medical costs (kidney monitoring, dialysis, transplants)
- Lost wages (time missed from work or internships)
- Educational disruption (tuition refunds, scholarship losses)
😢 Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
- Mental anguish (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
- Humiliation and embarrassment
- Loss of enjoyment of life
🔥 Punitive Damages
If the hazing was especially egregious (waterboarding, forced drinking to the point of hospitalization), courts may award punitive damages to punish the defendants and deter future misconduct.
Our current hazing case seeks $10 million — the same compensation is possible for Saline County victims.
What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Saline County
🚨 Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms right away.
📱 Step 2: Preserve All Evidence
- Take photos/videos of injuries
- Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs)
- Document witness names and contact info
- Keep medical records and bills
⚠️ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone
They will try to minimize the incident, destroy evidence, or pressure your child into silence. Let us handle all communications.
📞 Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately
Hazing cases have strict deadlines (usually 2 years in Arkansas). The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.
