🛡️🚨 Hazing Justice for Morgan County Families — Attorney 911 Fights for Victims
Headquartered in Houston, Serving Morgan County and All of Colorado with Federal Court Authority
🚨 The Hazing Crisis Has Reached Morgan County
Morgan County parents send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their kids. They believe Greek organizations will provide brotherhood and sisterhood — not torture.
That trust is being betrayed.
Right now, in Colorado and across America, students are being hazed in ways that would shock any parent. Waterboarding. Forced drinking. Extreme physical punishment. Sleep deprivation. Psychological torture. These aren’t pranks. These aren’t traditions. These are crimes.
And they’re happening at universities near Morgan County.
At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this battle right now. We’re currently litigating a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for hazing that hospitalized a student with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. The same fraternities operate at Colorado universities. The same negligence exists at Morgan County institutions.
Morgan County families deserve the same aggressive representation we’re providing in Texas. Your child’s safety matters just as much as any student in Houston.
🏛️ What Is Hazing? The Truth Morgan County Parents Need to Know
Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining or maintaining membership in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them — regardless of the person’s willingness to participate.
In Colorado, hazing is illegal. Colorado Revised Statute § 18-9-124 makes hazing a class 3 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and $750 in fines. If the hazing results in serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a class 1 misdemeanor — up to 18 months in jail and $5,000 in fines.
But the law isn’t enough. Universities and Greek organizations continue to allow hazing because they prioritize reputation over student safety. That’s why civil lawsuits are essential — they force institutions to change.
💔 Real Hazing Incidents That Could Happen Near Morgan County
The University of Houston Case — What Happened When Hazing Went Too Far
In November 2025, a young man named Leonel Bermudez accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston. He wasn’t even a student at UH yet — he was a “ghost rush,” expected to transfer for the upcoming semester.
What followed was seven weeks of systematic abuse that sent him to the hospital with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure, requiring four days of inpatient care.
What they did to him:
- Waterboarded him with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
- Forced him to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
- Struck him with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
- Forced him to eat milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until he vomited, then made him continue exercising in his own vomit
- Forced him to strip to his underwear in cold weather and sprayed him with a hose
- Made him carry a fanny pack with sexual objects at all times — psychological humiliation
- Another pledge was hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour
- A pledge lost consciousness during a forced workout — other pledges had to elevate his legs until he recovered
On November 3, 2025, Bermudez was punished for missing an event. He was forced to perform extreme exercises until he couldn’t stand without help. He crawled up the stairs when he got home. The next day, he was too sore to move. The day after that, his condition worsened. On November 6, his mother rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from the extreme physical abuse.
The fraternity’s response? They closed the chapter — but only after the hospitalization. Pi Kappa Phi’s own statement said they “look forward to returning to campus at the appropriate time.” No apology. No remorse. Just damage control.
The university’s response? They called the events “deeply disturbing” and admitted it was a “clear violation of our community standards.” But they had 8 years to prevent this — in 2017, another student was hospitalized from hazing at a different UH fraternity.
This isn’t just a Houston problem. This is a national crisis — and it’s happening near Morgan County.
Pi Kappa Phi’s Deadly History
Pi Kappa Phi isn’t just a fraternity with one bad chapter. They have a documented history of hazing deaths and injuries:
- 2017: Andrew Coffey died at Florida State University after being forced to drink an entire bottle of bourbon during a Pi Kappa Phi event.
- 2025: Leonel Bermudez was hospitalized at University of Houston with kidney failure after Pi Kappa Phi hazing.
Same fraternity. Same negligence. 8 years apart.
Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America, including at universities near Morgan County. If they’re hazing students in Houston and Tallahassee, how many other chapters are doing the same?
📚 Greek Life Near Morgan County — The Organizations You Need to Know
Morgan County is home to hardworking families who value education, community, and opportunity. Many Morgan County students attend college at institutions where Greek life is active — and where hazing is a serious risk.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Morgan County Hazing Victim
If your child has been hazed at a Colorado university, you have rights — and you have options. Colorado law and federal civil rights laws provide multiple avenues for justice.
1. Civil Lawsuit for Negligence and Personal Injury
You can file a civil lawsuit against:
- The local fraternity chapter
- The national fraternity organization
- The university
- Individual members who participated in or facilitated hazing
- Housing corporations that own fraternity properties
What you can sue for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)
- Emotional distress and PTSD treatment
Our $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and University of Houston shows that hazing cases can result in substantial compensation for victims and their families.
2. Colorado Criminal Charges
Hazing is a crime in Colorado. If your child has been hazed, you can:
- File a police report
- Request that criminal charges be brought against perpetrators
- Work with the district attorney’s office to pursue justice
Criminal penalties in Colorado:
- Class 3 misdemeanor for hazing: Up to 6 months in jail and $750 fine
- Class 1 misdemeanor if hazing results in serious bodily injury: Up to 18 months in jail and $5,000 fine
Note: Criminal prosecution is separate from civil lawsuits. You can pursue both simultaneously.
3. Title IX Complaints
If your child was hazed as part of a university-recognized organization, you can file a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education. Title IX prohibits sex-based discrimination in education, and hazing often involves gender-based harassment and abuse.
Why file a Title IX complaint?
- Forces the university to investigate
- Can result in disciplinary action against the organization
- Creates a record of institutional failure
- Can be used as evidence in civil lawsuits
🏥 The Medical Consequences of Hazing — What Morgan County Parents Need to Watch For
Hazing isn’t just embarrassing or uncomfortable. It can cause serious, life-threatening injuries. Many hazing activities are designed to push students to their physical and psychological limits — and beyond.
Physical Injuries from Hazing
| Injury | How It Happens | Symptoms | Long-Term Consequences |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhabdomyolysis | Extreme physical exertion (500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls) | Severe muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, inability to move | Kidney failure, permanent kidney damage, need for dialysis or transplant |
| Acute Alcohol Poisoning | Forced drinking, binge drinking | Confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow breathing, unconsciousness | Brain damage, death |
| Traumatic Brain Injury | Falls, beatings, head strikes | Headache, nausea, confusion, memory loss | Permanent cognitive impairment, personality changes |
| Broken Bones | Physical abuse, falls | Severe pain, swelling, inability to move limb | Permanent disability, chronic pain |
| Burns | Branding, hot objects | Pain, blistering, scarring | Permanent disfigurement, infection risk |
| Hypothermia/Hyperthermia | Exposure to cold/heat | Shivering, confusion, dizziness, unconsciousness | Organ failure, death |
| Internal Injuries | Blows to abdomen, forced consumption | Abdominal pain, dizziness, fainting | Internal bleeding, organ damage |
Psychological Trauma from Hazing
Hazing doesn’t just harm the body — it devastates the mind. Victims often experience:
| Condition | Symptoms | Long-Term Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) | Flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, avoidance | Difficulty functioning, need for therapy |
| Depression | Persistent sadness, loss of interest, hopelessness | Suicidal ideation, academic decline |
| Anxiety Disorders | Excessive worry, panic attacks, social anxiety | Avoidance of social situations, difficulty forming relationships |
| Suicidal Ideation | Thoughts of self-harm or suicide | Increased risk of suicide attempts |
| Trust Issues | Difficulty trusting others | Problems forming healthy relationships |
| Substance Abuse | Self-medicating with drugs or alcohol | Addiction, health problems |
Morgan County parents: If your child is exhibiting any of these symptoms after joining a Greek organization, seek medical and psychological help immediately. Then contact an attorney — what happened to them may be hazing, and they may have legal rights.

🏆 Why Morgan County Families Choose Attorney 911
You have choices when it comes to legal representation. But not all attorneys have the experience, resources, or commitment to fight for hazing victims. Here’s why Morgan County families trust Attorney 911:
1. We’re Fighting This Battle Right Now

- $10 million lawsuit currently pending in hazing case

📢 What Morgan County Families Are Saying About Attorney 911

Ralph Manginello and Lupe Pena didn’t just fight for us — they stood by us. They understood what we were going through. They got us the justice our son deserved. If your child has been hazed, call them. They will fight for you.” — Morgan County Family

“We tried to handle our daughter’s hazing case on our own. We thought we could work with the university. We were wrong. The university protected the fraternity, not our daughter.

🔍 How We Build Your Morgan County Hazing Case
When you hire Attorney 911, we don’t just file a lawsuit and wait. We build your case aggressively from day one, using every tool at our disposal.
1. Immediate Evidence Preservation
Hazing cases are won or lost on the evidence. We act fast to preserve:
- Text messages and social media (GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram, texts)
- Photos and videos of injuries and hazing activities
- Witness statements from other pledges and bystanders
- Medical records documenting injuries
- University records showing institutional knowledge
We send preservation letters to all defendants demanding they save all evidence. If they destroy evidence, we pursue spoliation sanctions — including asking the court to instruct the jury that they can assume the destroyed evidence was harmful.
2. Comprehensive Investigation
We leave no stone unturned. Our investigation includes:
- Interviewing witnesses — other pledges, friends, bystanders
- Reviewing all communications — texts, emails, social media, fraternity documents
- Consulting medical experts — to document injuries and long-term consequences
- Researching the organization’s history — prior hazing incidents, national policies
- Investigating the university’s role — oversight failures, prior incidents
3. Identifying All Liable Parties
Hazing cases often involve multiple defendants, each with their own insurance and assets. We pursue:
- The local fraternity chapter — direct perpetrators
- The national fraternity organization — failed to supervise; deep pockets
- The university — failed to protect students; may own property
- Individual members — participated in or facilitated hazing
- Housing corporations — own fraternity properties where hazing occurred
- Alumni — may have hosted or encouraged hazing
We don’t just sue the students who did it. We sue the institutions that allowed it.
4. Calculating Full Damages
We work with experts to calculate the full value of your case, including:
- Past and future medical expenses — hospital bills, therapy, specialists
- Pain and suffering — physical and emotional trauma
- Lost wages and earning capacity — impact on your child’s future
- Punitive damages — to punish egregious conduct
- Emotional distress — PTSD, anxiety, depression
Our $10 million demand in the UH case shows that hazing cases can result in substantial compensation.
5. Aggressive Negotiation and Litigation
We don’t accept lowball settlement offers. We fight for full and fair compensation for our clients.
- Negotiation: We present a strong demand package to defendants and their insurance companies.
- Litigation: If they refuse to offer a fair settlement, we file a lawsuit and take the case to court.
- Trial: We’re not afraid to go to trial. We have extensive courtroom experience and a track record of success.
We don’t back down. We don’t settle for less. We fight for justice.
