🚨 Hazing Lawyers for Montgomery County, Indiana Families

When “Tradition” Becomes Torture — We Fight Back

Montgomery County parents send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their kids. They assume Greek organizations will follow the law.

But hazing shatters that trust.

What starts as “pledging” or “initiation” too often becomes abuse, torture, and life-threatening injury — all in the name of “brotherhood” or “sisterhood.”

At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this crisis right now. We’re currently representing a hazing victim in a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases. We know how to win. And we will bring that same aggressive representation to Montgomery County families whose children have been hazed.

If your child has been hazed at Wabash College, Ivy Tech Community College, or any other institution in Montgomery County, you have legal rights. We can help.

🏢 Montgomery County’s Hazing Crisis: What Families Need to Know

The Reality of Hazing in Montgomery County

Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities. It happens right here in Montgomery County — at colleges, high schools, sports teams, and student organizations.

Montgomery County families should know:

• Hazing occurs at Wabash College, Ivy Tech Community College, and other local institutions
• The same national fraternities and sororities with hazing histories operate in Montgomery County
• Hazing isn’t limited to Greek life — it happens in sports teams, marching bands, ROTC, and clubs
• Many victims don’t report due to shame, fear of retaliation, or loyalty to the group
• Hazing can cause serious physical injuries, psychological trauma, and even death

Hazing in Indiana: The Legal Landscape

Indiana has strong anti-hazing laws, but enforcement is inconsistent. Many families don’t realize they can sue for damages even if no criminal charges are filed.

Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2: Hazing

• Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor in Indiana
• If hazing results in serious bodily injury, it becomes a Level 6 felony
• Consent is not a defense — victims cannot legally “agree” to hazing

Despite these laws, hazing continues because:

• Universities often minimize or cover up incidents to protect their reputations
• National Greek organizations prioritize their brand over student safety
• Victims fear retaliation if they speak out
• Many families don’t know their legal rights

The Physical and Psychological Toll of Hazing

Hazing isn’t “harmless fun.” It’s dangerous and often criminal.

Common hazing activities in Montgomery County and nationwide:

• Forced alcohol consumption — leading to alcohol poisoning
• Extreme physical exertion — causing rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure
• Physical abuse — paddling, beating, branding
• Psychological torture — humiliation, degradation, sleep deprivation
• Waterboarding and simulated drowning — yes, this happens in Indiana too
• Forced eating — consuming food or non-food items until vomiting
• Sexual humiliation and assault — more common than many realize

Medical consequences Montgomery County families should understand:

• Rhabdomyolysis — muscle tissue breakdown that can lead to kidney failure (this is what hospitalized our current client)
• Acute kidney injury — life-threatening condition requiring hospitalization
• Alcohol poisoning — can be fatal; many hazing deaths involve forced drinking
• Traumatic brain injury — from beatings or falls
• Hypothermia or heat stroke — from exposure to extreme temperatures
• PTSD, anxiety, and depression — long-term psychological damage
• Suicidal ideation — hazing can push vulnerable students over the edge

⚖️ The Hazing Case That Shows Montgomery County Families What’s Possible

Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi — $10 Million Lawsuit (2025)

This case is happening RIGHT NOW. And it could happen to a Montgomery County student next.

What happened:
Leonel Bermudez, a prospective member of Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston, was subjected to weeks of systematic hazing that hospitalized him with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure. He spent four days in the hospital fighting for his life.

The hazing included:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
• Forced eating of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting
• Being struck with wooden paddles
• Sleep deprivation — forced to drive members at all hours
• Psychological torture — carrying objects of a sexual nature, humiliation

The aftermath:

• Bermudez was hospitalized for four days with kidney failure
• Pi Kappa Phi closed the chapter immediately when the lawsuit was filed
• The University of Houston admitted the events were “deeply disturbing”
• Attorney 911 filed a $10 million lawsuit on Bermudez’s behalf

Why this matters to Montgomery County families:

• The same Pi Kappa Phi fraternity has chapters across America — including near Montgomery County
• The same hazing “traditions” that hospitalized Bermudez happen at Montgomery County institutions
• The same negligence by universities and national organizations exists in Montgomery County
• The same legal strategies we’re using in Houston apply to Montgomery County cases

What This Case Proves for Montgomery County Victims

1. Hazing cases can win millions — $10 million is a realistic demand
2. Universities are liable — they own the property where hazing occurs
3. National organizations are liable — they know about hazing and fail to stop it
4. Individual perpetrators can be sued — chapter officers and members face personal liability
5. Criminal charges may follow — hazing is a crime in Indiana
6. The law is on your side — consent is not a defense in Indiana

💰 What Montgomery County Hazing Victims Can Recover

If your child has been hazed, they may be entitled to significant compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Medical bills — hospital stays, doctor visits, medications, therapy
• Future medical expenses — ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, potential dialysis or transplant
• Lost wages — time missed from work during recovery
• Lost earning capacity — if injuries impact future career prospects
• Educational expenses — tuition, fees, lost scholarships

Non-Economic Damages

• Physical pain and suffering — the agony of rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, or other injuries
• Mental anguish — PTSD, anxiety, depression from the hazing experience
• Emotional distress — humiliation, shame, loss of trust
• Loss of enjoyment of life — inability to participate in normal activities
• Disfigurement — scars from burns, branding, or injuries

Punitive Damages

• Additional compensation to punish defendants for egregious conduct
• Applicable when hazing involves extreme physical abuse, waterboarding, or forced alcohol consumption
• Meant to send a message that this behavior will not be tolerated

Recent hazing verdicts and settlements:

• $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State University, Pi Kappa Alpha)
• $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta)
• $110 million+ — Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi)

Montgomery County families: These results are possible for your child too.

🎯 Who Can Be Held Liable in Montgomery County Hazing Cases

1. The Local Chapter

• Direct responsibility for organizing and conducting hazing
• Chapter officers — president, pledgemaster, risk manager
• Individual members who participated in hazing

2. The National Organization

• Failure to supervise local chapters
• Failure to enforce anti-hazing policies
• Pattern of negligence — knowing about prior hazing incidents and doing nothing
• Deep pockets — substantial assets and insurance coverage

3. The University or College

• Premises liability — if hazing occurred on university-owned property
• Negligent supervision — failure to monitor Greek life or student organizations
• Failure to act — ignoring prior hazing incidents or complaints
• Institutional negligence — systemic failure to protect students

4. Individual Perpetrators

• Personal liability for assault, battery, or other criminal acts
• Homeowner’s insurance may provide coverage
• Future earnings may be garnished

5. Alumni and Advisors

• Premises liability — if hazing occurred at an alum’s home
• Negligent supervision — failure to prevent hazing at events they hosted

Montgomery County families: We will identify every liable party and pursue them aggressively.

📋 What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Montgomery County

If you suspect or know your child has been hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears quickly, and Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.

Immediate Steps for Montgomery County Families:

1. Seek medical attention immediately

   • Even if injuries seem minor, get a full medical evaluation
   • Document all symptoms and treatments
   • Keep copies of all medical records and bills

2. Preserve all evidence

   • Photos/videos — injuries, hazing locations, items used in hazing
   • Text messages — GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, Snapchat, Instagram DMs
   • Social media posts — screenshots of any hazing-related content
   • Witness information — names and contact info of other victims or bystanders
   • Physical evidence — clothing, objects used in hazing

3. Do NOT confront the organization

   • They will destroy evidence, coordinate their story, and intimidate witnesses
   • Let your attorney handle all communication

4. Do NOT post on social media

   • Anything you post can be used against your child
   • Avoid discussing the incident online

5. Contact an attorney immediately

   • Call Attorney 911 at 1-888-ATTY-911
   • We offer free consultations for Montgomery County families
   • We work on contingency — no upfront cost

6. Consider reporting to authorities

   • File a police report — hazing is a crime in Indiana
   • Report to the university’s Title IX office
   • Report to the national organization (if Greek life)

What NOT to Do:

❌ Do NOT sign anything from the organization or its insurance company
❌ Do NOT give a recorded statement without your attorney present
❌ Do NOT accept a quick settlement — initial offers are always too low
❌ Do NOT assume you don’t have a case — many hazing victims have strong claims
❌ Do NOT wait — evidence disappears and deadlines expire

🎓 Hazing at Montgomery County Institutions: What Families Should Watch For

Wabash College

Wabash College is a small, all-male liberal arts college in Crawfordsville with a strong Greek life presence. While Wabash prides itself on its traditions and close-knit community, these same factors can create environments where hazing flourishes.

Montgomery County families with children at Wabash should be aware of:

• Greek life culture — fraternities play a significant role in student life
• Alcohol use — common in Greek organizations
• “Traditions” that may cross the line — some activities may be presented as harmless but can be dangerous
• Pressure to conform — small campus size can increase peer pressure

Warning signs of hazing at Wabash:

• Sudden changes in behavior or mood
• Unexplained injuries or bruises
• Avoidance of certain people or places
• Sudden withdrawal from social activities
• Excessive fatigue or sleep deprivation
• Secretive behavior about group activities
• Sudden decline in academic performance
• Unexplained financial expenses (paying for “group activities”)

Ivy Tech Community College

While Ivy Tech is primarily a commuter campus with less traditional Greek life, hazing can still occur in:

• Student clubs and organizations
• Honor societies
• Sports teams
• Study groups or informal social groups

Montgomery County families with children at Ivy Tech should watch for:

• Group initiation rituals that seem excessive or dangerous
• Pressure to participate in activities that make your child uncomfortable
• Sudden secrecy about group membership or activities
• Physical or emotional distress after group events

Other Montgomery County Schools and Organizations

Hazing isn’t limited to colleges. Montgomery County families should also be vigilant about:

• High school sports teams — football, basketball, wrestling, etc.
• Marching bands — both high school and college
• ROTC programs — at Wabash or other institutions
• Honor societies — academic or professional groups
• Student government — leadership organizations
• Religious groups — campus ministries or church youth groups
• Club sports — intramural or recreational teams

Any group that requires “initiation” or “pledging” can be at risk for hazing.

📢 Warning to Montgomery County Fraternities and Sororities

To the fraternities and sororities operating in Montgomery County:

We are watching. The same legal strategies that are securing $10 million verdicts nationwide apply to your chapters.

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Delta Chi, and every other national organization with chapters in Montgomery County:

If your chapter harms students, we will:

• Sue your chapter
• Sue your national organization
• Sue your university
• Sue your chapter officers personally
• Pursue every available legal remedy

The Beta Nu chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at University of Houston?

• Shut down after our lawsuit
• Charter surrendered by national organization
• Criminal referrals initiated

That’s what happens when you haze in Indiana.

We track your house corporations, your alumni chapters, your national insurance structures, and your documented history of hazing deaths. We know your playbook. And we will use every piece of this intelligence to hold you accountable.

The message to Montgomery County chapters: Clean up your act before we clean you out in court.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Montgomery County Families

Q: My child was hazed, but they “consented” to participate. Do we still have a case?

A: Yes. Indiana law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, they cannot legally consent to being hazed. The law recognizes that peer pressure, fear of social exclusion, and other factors can coerce participation.

Q: The university says they didn’t know about the hazing. Can we still sue them?

A: Yes. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they own the property where hazing occurred, failed to properly supervise Greek life, or had prior knowledge of hazing risks, they can be held liable. In our current case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred — that’s premises liability.

Q: My child was hazed at a Montgomery County high school. Can you help?

A: Yes. Hazing isn’t just a college problem. We represent victims of hazing at high schools, middle schools, and youth organizations in Montgomery County and across Indiana. Hazing at any age is illegal and can cause serious harm.

Q: We’re worried about retaliation if we speak out. How do you protect your clients?

A: We take client protection very seriously. We:

• Handle all communication with the organization and its lawyers
• Protect your identity to the extent possible
• Advise you on social media to prevent retaliation
• Pursue legal remedies if retaliation occurs
• Work with law enforcement to ensure your safety

In our current case, our client is fearful of retribution — we understand this fear and will protect Montgomery County families who come forward.

Q: How much does it cost to hire you for a Montgomery County hazing case?

A: Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

• No hourly fees
• No retainer
• No payment unless we win your case
• We take a percentage of your recovery — typically 33-40%

If we don’t win, you owe us nothing.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit in Montgomery County?

A: 2 years from the date of injury — this is Indiana’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases. However, you should not wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and organizations destroy records. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.

Q: My child was hazed at Wabash College. Can you represent us even though you’re based in Texas?

A: Absolutely. While we’re based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including Montgomery County. We have:

• Federal court authority — we can pursue your case in federal jurisdiction
• Dual-state bar licenses — Texas and New York
• Video consultation capability — meet with us remotely
• Willingness to travel — we come to Montgomery County for depositions and trials

Distance is not a barrier to justice.

Q: What if the hazing didn’t cause serious physical injury? Do we still have a case?

A: Yes. Even if there’s no hospitalization, hazing can cause:

• Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Emotional distress (humiliation, shame)
• Academic disruption (missed classes, declining grades)
• Financial losses (therapy costs, lost scholarships)

We pursue compensation for all damages, not just physical injuries.

Q: Can we sue the national fraternity organization, or just the local chapter?

A: You can sue both. National organizations often have deep pockets and substantial insurance coverage. They can be held liable for:

• Failure to supervise local chapters
• Failure to enforce anti-hazing policies
• Knowing about prior hazing incidents and doing nothing
• Creating a culture that allows hazing to flourish

In our current case, we’re suing both the local chapter and the national organization.

Q: What if my child was hazed at a private event off-campus? Can we still sue the university?

A: Possibly. Universities can be held liable for off-campus hazing if:

• They knew or should have known about the hazing
• They failed to take reasonable steps to prevent it
• The hazing was connected to a university-recognized organization
• The university benefited from the organization’s activities

In our current case, hazing occurred at both a university-owned fraternity house and a private residence.

Q: How long does a hazing lawsuit take?

A: Every case is different, but hazing cases typically take:

• 6-12 months for minor injuries with clear liability
• 12-24 months for moderate injuries with multiple defendants
• 2-4 years for severe injuries or wrongful death cases

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Q: What if my child was hazed years ago? Is it too late to sue?

A: It depends. Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. However, there are exceptions:

• If your child was a minor at the time, the clock may not start until they turn 18
• If the injuries weren’t discovered immediately, the clock may start when they were discovered
• If the organization concealed the hazing, the clock may be extended

Contact us immediately. We’ll evaluate whether your case is still within the statute of limitations.

Q: Can we sue for hazing that happened at a Montgomery County high school sports team?

A: Yes. Hazing in high school sports is illegal and actionable. We represent victims of hazing in:

• Football teams
• Basketball teams
• Wrestling teams
• Baseball/softball teams
• Swim teams
• Cheerleading squads
• Marching bands

High school hazing can be just as dangerous as college hazing, and the legal remedies are similar.

Q: What if my child was hazed but didn’t report it at the time?

A: Many hazing victims don’t report immediately due to:

• Fear of retaliation
• Shame or embarrassment
• Loyalty to the group
• Not realizing it was hazing
• Pressure from members to stay quiet

It’s not too late. We can still build a strong case using:

• Medical records showing injuries or psychological treatment
• Witness testimony from other victims
• Social media evidence (texts, posts, messages)
• Pattern evidence from prior hazing incidents

5. Contact an attorney if you suspect hazing — 1-888-ATTY-911

🏛️ Holding Montgomery County Institutions Accountable

The Role of Universities in Preventing Hazing

Universities have a legal and moral duty to protect students from hazing. This includes:

1. Proper Oversight of Greek Life

   • Regular inspections of fraternity and sorority houses
   • Mandatory anti-hazing training for all members
   • Clear reporting mechanisms for hazing incidents

2. Enforcement of Anti-Hazing Policies

   • Immediate investigation of hazing complaints
   • Meaningful disciplinary action for violations
   • Suspension or expulsion of repeat offenders

   • Clear communication of anti-hazing policies
   • Support for students who report hazing

   • Public reporting of hazing incidents
   • No cover-ups or minimization of incidents
   • Cooperation with law enforcement

When universities fail in these duties, they can be held legally liable for hazing injuries.

The Role of National Greek Organizations

National fraternities and sororities have substantial resources and significant control over local chapters. They have a duty to:

1. Enforce Anti-Hazing Policies

   • Regular audits of local chapters
   • Immediate suspension of chapters violating policies
   • Meaningful consequences for hazing

2. Provide Proper Training

   • Anti-hazing education for all members
   • Leadership training for chapter officers

   • Oversight of pledge activities
   • Intervention when problems arise

4. Take Responsibility for Prior Incidents

   • Hold chapters accountable

When national organizations fail in these duties, they can be held legally liable for hazing injuries.

🔥 Final Message to Montgomery County Families

To the parents of Montgomery County:

You sent your child to college to learn, to grow, to make friends. You trusted that they would be safe. You assumed that the adults in charge would protect them.

But hazing shatters that trust.

Your child was waterboarded. Forced to exercise until they collapsed. Struck with wooden paddles. Humiliated. Degraded. Hospitalized.

And the people who did this to them? They’ll say it was “tradition.” They’ll say your child “consented.” They’ll say it was “just a joke.”

It wasn’t a joke. It was abuse.

At Attorney 911, we don’t accept excuses. We don’t accept “tradition” as a defense for torture. We don’t accept that this is just “how things are done.”

We fight back. We hold every liable party accountable. And we make them pay.

If this has happened to your child in Montgomery County, we can help.

Call us. Before the evidence disappears. Before the witnesses forget. Before your rights expire.
