🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Fremont County

In November 2025, our client Leonel Bermudez was hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being hazed at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston.

The fraternity:
✅ Waterboarded him with a garden hose — simulating drowning
✅ Forced him to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
✅ Struck him with wooden paddles
✅ Forced him to eat until he vomited — then made him keep running
✅ Hog-tied another pledge face-down on a table with an object in his mouth

He wasn’t even a University of Houston student yet. He was a “ghost rush” — a prospective member expected to transfer. They hazed him anyway.

This didn’t just happen in Houston. It happens at colleges and universities near Fremont County, Colorado too.

🏛️ Fraternities Operating Near Fremont County

Fremont County is home to Colorado State University-Pueblo (CSU Pueblo), and nearby communities include Pueblo, Cañon City, and Salida, where students attend colleges with active Greek life.

Fraternities with chapters near Fremont County that have documented hazing histories include:

• Pi Kappa Phi (same fraternity that hospitalized our client)
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE)
• Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike)
• Phi Delta Theta
• Beta Theta Pi
• Sigma Chi
• Kappa Sigma

These are the same national organizations that have paid millions in hazing settlements nationwide.

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

💔 The Hazing Crisis in Colorado

Hazing isn’t just a problem in Texas. It happens in Colorado too.

• Colorado State University (CSU) in Fort Collins has had multiple hazing incidents, including forced alcohol consumption and physical abuse.
• University of Colorado Boulder has faced hazing allegations involving Greek organizations.
• CSU Pueblo and other regional colleges have active Greek life with documented hazing risks.

Fraternities near Fremont County operate under the same national organizations that have paid millions in hazing lawsuits. The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client in Houston exist at Colorado chapters.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Fremont County Hazing Victim

1. You Can Sue for Hazing in Colorado

Colorado has strong anti-hazing laws. Under Colorado Revised Statutes § 18-9-124, hazing is a Class 3 misdemeanor, but victims can also file civil lawsuits for damages.

2. Consent Is Not a Defense

Even if your child “agreed” to participate, Colorado law says consent is not a defense to hazing. Fraternities will try to argue that your child “knew the risks” — but the law protects victims regardless.

3. Multiple Defendants Can Be Held Liable

In our Houston case, we are suing:

• The local fraternity chapter
• The national fraternity organization
• The university (for failing to protect students)
• Individual members (for participating in hazing)

The same legal strategy applies to Fremont County cases.

4. You Can Recover Compensation for:

✔ Medical bills (past and future)
✔ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
✔ Lost wages (if the victim missed work or internships)
✔ Educational disruption (if hazing affected grades or enrollment)
✔ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)

In our Houston case, we are seeking $10 million. The same compensation is possible for Fremont County victims.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Fremont County

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Hazing injuries can be life-threatening. Rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and head trauma may not show symptoms right away. Go to the emergency room if your child:

• Has dark or brown urine (sign of muscle breakdown)
• Is extremely sore or unable to move
• Vomits repeatedly
• Passes out or seems disoriented
• Shows signs of alcohol poisoning (slow breathing, confusion, vomiting while unconscious)

2. Preserve All Evidence

Do NOT delete anything. Save:
✅ Text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, Instagram DMs (even if they seem embarrassing)
✅ Photos and videos of injuries, hazing activities, or fraternity events
✅ Medical records from hospital visits
✅ Names and contact info of other pledges or witnesses
✅ Any documents given to your child by the fraternity

3. Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

• Fraternities will try to get your child to sign documents that waive their rights.
• Universities will conduct “internal investigations” that protect the institution, not the victim.
• Insurance companies will offer lowball settlements before you know the full extent of injuries.

Before speaking to anyone, call us at 1-888-ATTY-911.

4. Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

Colorado has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to sue.

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions for Fremont County Families

Q: My child was hazed, but they don’t want to sue. Should we still call?

A: Yes. Even if your child is hesitant, you should speak to a lawyer to understand your rights. Hazing often causes long-term physical and psychological harm that may not be immediately apparent. A free consultation can help you decide the best course of action.

Q: The fraternity said this was just “tradition.” Is that a defense?

A: No. “Tradition” is not a legal defense. Hazing is illegal in Colorado, and fraternities cannot justify abuse by calling it “tradition.” In fact, Colorado law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing.

Q: We’re worried about retaliation. Will the fraternity come after my child?

A: We understand your concern. Our client in the Houston case is fearful of retribution, which is why we keep victim identities confidential when possible. We can also seek protective orders to prevent harassment.

Q: The university said they’re “investigating.” Should we wait for their report?

A: No. University investigations are designed to protect the institution, not the victim. They may downplay the severity of the hazing or shift blame. You need your own legal representation to protect your child’s rights.

Q: My child was hazed at a college outside Fremont County. Can you still help?

A: Yes. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including in Colorado. We can file lawsuits in the appropriate jurisdiction and pursue your case no matter where the hazing occurred.

Q: How much is my child’s hazing case worth?

A: Every case is different, but hazing lawsuits often result in multi-million dollar settlements, especially when:

• The victim was hospitalized
• The hazing involved torture (like waterboarding)
• The university or national organization knew about prior hazing incidents
• The fraternity tried to cover up the abuse

In our Houston case, we are seeking $10 million for our client’s injuries.

Q: What if my child was hazed but didn’t get physically injured?

A: Even if your child wasn’t hospitalized, they may still have a case for:

• Emotional distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Humiliation and degradation
• Educational disruption (impact on grades, scholarships)
• Loss of enjoyment of life

Psychological harm from hazing can be just as devastating as physical injuries.

Q: The fraternity offered a settlement. Should we accept it?

A: Never accept a settlement without speaking to a lawyer first. Fraternities and insurance companies routinely offer lowball settlements before victims know the full extent of their injuries. Once you accept, you lose the right to sue for more money — even if you later discover additional damages.
