Hazing Lawyers for Bonner County, Idaho – Attorney 911
Fraternity & Sorority Hazing Victims in Bonner County Deserve Justice
If your child was hazed at a college or university near Bonner County, Idaho, Attorney 911 can help.
We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that fraternities and universities will be held accountable for the abuse they allow. The same national fraternities operate at colleges and universities across Idaho, including near Bonner County. If this happened in Houston, it can happen in Bonner County—and we will fight for Bonner County families just as aggressively.
🚨 What Is Hazing?
Hazing is any intentional, reckless, or dangerous activity that endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in a group. It is not tradition—it is abuse. In our current case, a student was:
- Waterboarded (simulated drowning)
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
- Struck with wooden paddles
- Forced to eat until vomiting
- Hospitalized for four days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
This is not “boys being boys.” This is not “building brotherhood.” This is torture—and it happens at colleges near Bonner County, Idaho.

While Bonner County itself may not have a major university, students from Bonner County often attend colleges and universities across Idaho and the Pacific Northwest where Greek life thrives.

💔 The Hazing Crisis in Idaho & Near Bonner County
Hazing is not just a problem in Texas or the South—it happens in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest too. While Bonner County may not have its own major university, students from Bonner County attend schools where hazing is a documented issue.

- University of Idaho (Moscow, ID) – Multiple hazing violations reported in recent years, including alcohol-related incidents.

⚖️ Legal Rights for Bonner County Hazing Victims
Idaho has strong anti-hazing laws, and victims have the right to pursue civil lawsuits against:
✅ The local fraternity/sorority chapter (individuals who participated)
✅ The national fraternity/sorority organization (for failing to supervise)
✅ The university (for failing to prevent hazing on campus)
✅ Individual members and officers (personal liability)
📜 Idaho Hazing Law (Idaho Code § 18-917)
Idaho law defines hazing as:
“Any action or situation which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating under the sanction of or recognized as an organization by an institution of higher education.”
Penalties for Hazing in Idaho:
- Misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail and/or $1,000 fine)
- Felony (if hazing results in serious bodily injury or death)
⚠️ Consent is NOT a defense. Even if a student “agreed” to participate, the law still holds the organization accountable.
