🔥 This Happened in Houston. It Could Happen in Madison County.

On November 21, 2025, our law firm filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles during hazing. He ended up in the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure — a life-threatening condition caused by extreme physical abuse.

The same fraternities operate at universities near Madison County, Georgia.
The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client happen in Georgia.
The same negligence that failed to protect our client exists at Georgia institutions.

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys.” It’s abuse. It’s assault. It’s illegal.

• Forced consumption of alcohol, food, or non-food substances
• Waterboarding or simulated drowning
• Sleep deprivation

Psychological Abuse

• Humiliation and degradation
• Forced nudity
