🚨 Hazing in White County: Protecting Students and Holding Fraternities Accountable

White County families: Your child’s safety at college shouldn’t be a gamble. Yet every year, students across Indiana and the nation face dangerous hazing rituals that can lead to serious injury or even death. At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this crisis head-on—right now in Texas, and ready to protect students in White County and throughout Indiana.

The Hazing Crisis Hits Close to Home

While our current case involves a student at the University of Houston, the same dangerous fraternities operate at universities near White County, Indiana. Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national organizations have chapters at Indiana schools where hazing continues to threaten student safety.

White County parents need to know: The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client with kidney failure exist at Indiana universities. The same negligence that allowed this to happen in Texas exists in our own backyard.

What White County Families Need to Know About Hazing

The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Be Deadly

Our client was hospitalized for four days with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure after being forced to perform extreme physical exercises. But the dangers go far beyond physical exhaustion:

• Alcohol poisoning from forced drinking (the leading cause of hazing deaths)
• Traumatic brain injuries from beatings or falls
• Heat stroke or hypothermia from exposure to extreme temperatures
• Cardiac arrest from excessive physical exertion
• Psychological trauma including PTSD, anxiety, and depression

These aren’t pranks or harmless traditions. They’re medical emergencies waiting to happen.

The Legal Reality: Hazing Is Illegal in Indiana

Indiana has strong anti-hazing laws that apply to all educational institutions, including those near White County:

• Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2 makes hazing a Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail and $1,000 fine)
• If hazing results in serious bodily injury, it becomes a Level 6 felony (up to 2.5 years in prison)
• Consent is not a defense—even if a student “agrees” to participate, the organization can still be held liable
• Organizations can be held criminally responsible for hazing that occurs under their watch

White County families: Indiana law is on your side. You have the right to hold these organizations accountable.

The Institutional Reality: Universities Are Complicit

In our current case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where the hazing occurred. They collected rent while students were being tortured. They had the power to inspect and regulate—but chose not to.

The same is true at Indiana universities:

• Many universities own or control fraternity houses
• They have Greek life offices responsible for oversight
• They receive complaints about hazing but often fail to act
• They prioritize reputation over safety—until it’s too late

White County parents: Your child’s university has a legal duty to protect them. When they fail, they must be held accountable.

What Makes Our Approach Different for White County Families

1. We’re Fighting This Battle Right Now

While other firms talk about hazing, we’re actively litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases because we’re doing it right now.

White County families: You’re not getting a firm that’s learning on your case. You’re getting attorneys with current, hands-on experience fighting hazing in court.

2. We Know How to Win Against Powerful Defendants

Our attorneys have taken on some of the largest institutions in America:

• Ralph Manginello was involved in the BP Texas City explosion litigation, taking on one of the world’s largest oil companies
• Lupe Peña worked at a national insurance defense firm, learning how big organizations try to avoid responsibility
• Together, we’ve recovered millions for victims against powerful defendants

White County families: We know how these organizations operate. We know their playbook. And we know how to beat them.

3. We’ll Travel to White County for Your Case

While we’re based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including White County, Indiana. We offer:

• Free video consultations for White County families
• Willingness to travel to White County for depositions, meetings, and trials
• Remote case management so you don’t have to leave home
• Local Indiana co-counsel when needed to ensure compliance with state laws

Distance is not a barrier to justice. We’ll come to you.

4. We Work on Contingency—No Upfront Costs

We understand that White County families may be concerned about legal fees, especially when facing powerful fraternities and universities. That’s why we work on a contingency fee basis:

• $0 upfront costs—you pay nothing to hire us
• We only get paid if we win your case
• No hourly fees—our fee is a percentage of your recovery
• No risk to you—if we don’t win, you owe us nothing

White County families: You can afford to fight back. We make it possible.

What White County Families Should Do If Hazing Occurs

If your child has been hazed at an Indiana university, time is critical. Here’s what to do:

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

• Go to the emergency room if your child shows signs of:
  • Severe muscle pain or weakness
  • Dark or brown urine (sign of rhabdomyolysis)
  • Confusion or disorientation
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Loss of consciousness
• Document everything—take photos of injuries, save medical records
• Follow up with specialists as needed

White County parents: Your child’s health comes first. Don’t wait to see if symptoms improve.

2. Preserve Evidence

Hazing cases are won or lost on the evidence. Preserve everything:

• Text messages and group chats (GroupMe, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc.)
• Social media posts (screenshots before they’re deleted)
• Photos and videos from hazing events
• Physical evidence (clothing, objects used in hazing)
• Witness contact information (other pledges, bystanders)
• Fraternity documents (pledge manuals, schedules, rules)

Warning: Do NOT delete anything. Even if it’s embarrassing or seems irrelevant, it could be crucial evidence.

3. Do NOT Confront the Organization Alone

• Do NOT talk to fraternity/sorority leadership without legal counsel
• Do NOT sign any documents from the organization
• Do NOT give statements to university administrators alone
• Do NOT post about the incident on social media

These organizations will try to control the narrative. Don’t let them.

4. Report the Incident

• File a police report—hazing is a crime in Indiana
• Report to the university—file a formal complaint with the Greek life office
• Report to the national organization (if applicable)
• Consider a Title IX report if gender-based violence was involved

White County families: Reporting creates a paper trail that strengthens your case.

5. Contact an Attorney Immediately

• Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases
• Evidence disappears quickly—witnesses forget, messages get deleted, memories fade
• The sooner we’re involved, the stronger your case will be

The Legal Process for White County Hazing Victims

When you hire Attorney 911, here’s what to expect:

Phase 1: Investigation (1-3 months)

• Gather all evidence (medical records, communications, photos, etc.)
• Identify all responsible parties (individuals, chapter, nationals, university)
• Consult with medical and hazing experts
• Send preservation letters to defendants

Phase 2: Medical Treatment (varies)

• Ensure your child receives proper medical care
• Document all injuries and treatment
• Reach Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI) before settlement negotiations

Phase 3: Demand and Negotiation (3-6 months)

• Send demand package to defendants
• Negotiate with insurance companies
• Push for fair settlement

Phase 4: Litigation (if needed)

• File lawsuit in appropriate Indiana court
• Conduct discovery (depositions, document requests)
• Prepare for trial

Phase 5: Resolution

• Settlement or trial verdict
• Receive compensation
• Hold defendants accountable

White County families: We guide you through every step. You’re never alone in this process.

What White County Families Can Recover

Hazing victims may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Medical expenses (hospital bills, rehabilitation, future treatment)
• Lost wages (time missed from work or internships)
• Educational costs (tuition, fees, lost scholarships)
• Future earning capacity (if injuries affect career prospects)

Non-Economic Damages

• Physical pain and suffering (the agony of injuries and recovery)
• Emotional distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression from the abuse)
• Humiliation and embarrassment (from degrading hazing rituals)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on college experience and social life)
• Disfigurement (permanent scars or injuries)

Punitive Damages

In cases of egregious misconduct, Indiana law allows for punitive damages to punish the wrongdoers and deter future hazing. This may apply when:

• The hazing involved torture (like waterboarding)
• The organization knew about prior incidents but did nothing
• The university failed to enforce its own policies
• The conduct was intentional or reckless

White County families: Our $10 million demand in the Texas case shows what’s possible. Indiana juries have awarded similar amounts for severe personal injuries.

Why Choose Attorney 911 for Your White County Hazing Case

1. We’re Hazing Litigation Experts

• Currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston
• Experience with rhabdomyolysis cases (like our current client)
• Knowledge of Greek life culture and organizational structures
• Understanding of university liability and premises liability

2. We Know How to Beat the “Consent” Defense

The #1 defense in hazing cases is: “The victim consented to participate.”

Indiana law says: CONSENT IS NOT A DEFENSE.

We know how to defeat this argument and prove that:

• Peer pressure and social coercion negate true consent
• Victims don’t know what they’re consenting to until it’s too late
• Fear of retaliation prevents victims from leaving
• “Tradition” doesn’t make illegal activity legal

3. We Have Insider Knowledge of Insurance Tactics

Both of our attorneys are former insurance defense lawyers. We know:

• How insurance companies value claims
• How they delay and deny payments
• How to negotiate from strength
• How to pursue policy limits

White County families: We’ve seen their playbook from the inside. Now we use that knowledge against them.

4. We Offer Bilingual Services

Our staff includes Spanish-speaking attorneys and paralegals, ensuring that language barriers don’t prevent justice.

White County Hispanic families: You can communicate with us in Spanish every step of the way.

5. We’re Willing to Go to Trial

Many personal injury firms settle cases quickly to avoid the courtroom. We’re different:

• We have decades of trial experience
• We’re not afraid to take on powerful defendants
• We know how to persuade juries
• We’re prepared to fight for maximum compensation

White County families: We don’t back down. We don’t settle for less than you deserve.

The Fraternities Operating Near White County

White County is home to Purdue University, and several major universities are within driving distance where dangerous fraternities operate:

Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN)

Fraternities with chapters at Purdue that have national hazing histories:

White County parents: These are the same organizations that have killed and injured students across the country. They operate at Purdue and other Indiana universities.

Indiana University (Bloomington, IN)

• Kappa Sigma has a documented history of hazing incidents
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon has faced multiple hazing allegations
• Phi Delta Theta was involved in the Max Gruver case

Ball State University (Muncie, IN)

• Multiple fraternities have faced hazing allegations in recent years

University of Notre Dame (South Bend, IN)

• While known for strong oversight, hazing still occurs in some organizations

White County families: No university is immune. Hazing happens at large state schools and prestigious private institutions alike.

What White County Universities Are Doing Wrong

1. Reactive, Not Proactive

Universities near White County often wait for a tragedy before taking action. They:

• React to incidents instead of preventing them
• Suspend chapters after someone is hurt or killed
• Fail to implement real oversight between incidents

White County parents: Your child shouldn’t have to be the next headline for the university to care.

2. Prioritizing Reputation Over Safety

When hazing incidents occur, universities near White County often:

• Downplay the severity to protect their reputation
• Conduct internal investigations that minimize liability
• Settle quietly to avoid bad publicity
• Allow chapters to return after short suspensions

White County families: This isn’t about protecting the university. It’s about protecting your child.

3. Failing to Enforce Their Own Policies

Every university near White County has anti-hazing policies. But they often:

• Don’t inspect fraternity houses regularly
• Don’t monitor pledge activities
• Don’t follow up on complaints
• Don’t discipline organizations effectively

White County parents: If the university won’t enforce its own rules, we’ll hold them accountable in court.

What White County Universities Should Be Doing

1. Real Oversight of Greek Life

• Unannounced inspections of fraternity houses
• Mandatory reporting of all pledge activities
• Independent audits of hazing policies
• Third-party investigations of all complaints

2. Transparent Accountability

• Public reporting of all hazing incidents
• Permanent expulsion of chapters with repeat violations
• Personal accountability for chapter leaders

3. Education and Prevention

• Mandatory hazing prevention training for all Greek life members
• Bystander intervention programs to empower students to speak up
• Clear consequences for failure to report hazing

White County families: Until universities near White County implement these measures, students will continue to be at risk.

The Message to White County Fraternities

To the fraternities operating near White County: We are watching.

• Pi Kappa Phi: You waterboarded a student in Texas. You killed Andrew Coffey in Florida. How many other chapters are doing the same?
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon: You were involved in Max Gruver’s death. Your Indiana chapters are on notice.
• Pi Kappa Alpha: You were involved in Stone Foltz’s death. Your Purdue chapter should be concerned.
• All fraternities near White County: The legal landscape is changing. The days of settling quietly are over.

We are Attorney 911. We are Ralph Manginello and Lupe Pena. And we are coming for every organization that thinks it can torture our children and walk away.

The Message to White County Universities

To Purdue University and other Indiana institutions:

• You own the fraternity houses. You’re responsible for what happens in them.
• You receive complaints about hazing. You choose whether to act.
• You have the power to stop this. You choose whether to use it.

When you fail to protect students, you become part of the problem. And we will hold you accountable.

The Message to White County Parents

To the parents of White County:

Your child’s safety at college shouldn’t depend on luck. It shouldn’t depend on whether they’re strong enough to say no to hazing. It shouldn’t depend on whether the university decides to enforce its own rules.

You have the power to demand better.

• Talk to your child about the dangers of hazing before they go to college
• Teach them to recognize hazing when they see it
• Encourage them to speak up if they witness hazing
• Know your rights if hazing occurs

And if the worst happens—if your child is hazed, injured, or worse—know that you don’t have to fight this battle alone. We’re here to help.

Frequently Asked Questions for White County Families

Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to report it. What should I do?

A: This is common. Many hazing victims fear retaliation or social consequences. Here’s what you can do:

1. Document everything—save texts, photos, and other evidence
2. Consult an attorney—we can advise you on your options without your child having to report immediately
3. Encourage your child to seek medical attention—even if they don’t want to report, their health comes first
4. Know that reporting can protect others—many hazing victims report to prevent the same thing from happening to someone else

White County families: We can help you explore your options confidentially.

Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to the hazing. Is that a valid defense?

A: No. Indiana law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate:

• Peer pressure and social coercion negate true consent
• Victims often don’t know what they’re consenting to until it’s too late
• Fear of retaliation prevents many from leaving
• “Tradition” doesn’t make illegal activity legal

White County families: We know how to defeat this argument in court.

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

A: Indiana has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. This means you generally have 2 years from the date of the hazing incident to file a lawsuit.

However, there are exceptions:

• If the victim is a minor, the clock may not start until they turn 18
• In some cases, the clock may start when the injury is discovered (for delayed-onset injuries)
• If the hazing was part of a pattern, each incident may have its own timeline

White County families: Don’t wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire. Contact us immediately for a case evaluation.

Q: My child was hazed at a university near White County, but we live in White County. Can you still help?

A: Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including White County, Indiana. We offer:

• Free video consultations so you don’t have to travel
• Willingness to come to White County for meetings and depositions
• Local Indiana co-counsel when needed to ensure compliance with state laws
• Remote case management throughout the process

Distance is not a barrier to justice. We’ll fight for your family no matter where you are.

Q: How much does it cost to hire an attorney for a hazing case?

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

• $0 to hire us—you pay no upfront fees
• We only get paid if we win your case
• Our fee is a percentage of your recovery—typically 33-40%
• If we don’t win, you owe us nothing

White County families: You can afford to fight back. We make it possible.

Q: What if my child was hazed at a private university near White County?

A: We can still help. While private universities may have different legal structures than public institutions:

• Hazing is still illegal under Indiana law
• Fraternities can still be held liable
• Individuals can still be held personally responsible
• Insurance policies may still provide coverage

White County families: Private universities are not above the law. We know how to pursue these cases.

Q: My child was hazed but wasn’t physically injured. Do we still have a case?

A: Yes. While physical injuries often lead to stronger cases, you can still pursue compensation for:

• Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Emotional distress (humiliation, embarrassment)
• Educational disruption (missed classes, lost scholarships)
• Financial losses (medical bills for therapy, lost wages)

White County families: The psychological impact of hazing can be just as devastating as physical injuries. You deserve compensation for that harm.

Q: The university says they’re conducting an “internal investigation.” Should we participate?

A: Be very cautious. University investigations are designed to protect the institution, not your child. Before participating:

1. Consult with an attorney—we can advise you on how to protect your rights
2. Understand that anything your child says can be used against them in future legal proceedings
3. Know that universities often minimize incidents to limit their liability

White County families: We can guide you through this process to ensure your child’s rights are protected.

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

A: You can sue both. National organizations can be held liable for:

• Failing to supervise local chapters
• Failing to enforce anti-hazing policies
• Knowing about prior incidents and not preventing future ones
• Creating a culture that enables hazing

White County families: National organizations have deep pockets and insurance policies that can provide significant compensation.

Q: What if my child was hazed at an off-campus location?

A: You can still pursue a case. Hazing that occurs off-campus can still lead to liability for:

• The local chapter (for organizing the event)
• Individual members (for participating)
• Property owners (for premises liability)
• The national organization (for failing to prevent)

White County families: Location doesn’t determine liability. If hazing occurred, we can hold the responsible parties accountable.

White County Case Studies: Hazing Incidents in Indiana

Case 1: Purdue University — Sigma Alpha Epsilon

Incident: In 2019, Purdue University suspended the Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) fraternity for allegations of hazing and alcohol violations. The suspension came after an investigation into reports that pledges were subjected to forced drinking and other dangerous activities.

Outcome:

• Chapter placed on interim suspension
• University conducted internal investigation
• Chapter eventually reinstated after completing sanctions

Why This Matters for White County:

• Shows that hazing occurs at Purdue despite university policies
• Demonstrates university tendency to reinstate chapters after short suspensions
• Highlights SAE’s national hazing history (including Max Gruver’s death at LSU in 2017)

Case 2: Indiana University — Kappa Sigma

Incident: In 2018, Indiana University suspended the Kappa Sigma fraternity after an investigation found multiple hazing violations, including forced calisthenics, sleep deprivation, and alcohol-related activities.

Outcome:

• Chapter suspended for 3 years
• Required to complete educational programs before reinstatement
• Multiple members disciplined

Why This Matters for White County:

• Shows that hazing occurs at Indiana’s flagship university
• Demonstrates pattern of hazing in Kappa Sigma chapters nationwide
• Highlights university’s reliance on education rather than permanent consequences

Case 3: Ball State University — Multiple Fraternities

Incident: In recent years, Ball State University has suspended multiple fraternities for hazing, including:

• Pi Kappa Phi (2021) — allegations of forced drinking and physical abuse
• Sigma Chi (2020) — allegations of sleep deprivation and degrading activities
• Phi Delta Theta (2019) — allegations of alcohol-related hazing

Outcome:

• Chapters placed on interim suspension
• Required to complete educational programs
• Eventually reinstated

Why This Matters for White County:

• Shows hazing is widespread across Indiana universities
• Demonstrates university pattern of temporary suspensions rather than permanent removal
• Highlights recurring issues with the same fraternities

Case 4: University of Notre Dame — Sigma Chi

Incident: In 2022, the University of Notre Dame suspended the Sigma Chi fraternity for hazing allegations, including forced physical activities and alcohol-related violations. The suspension came after multiple reports from students.

Outcome:

• Chapter suspended for 2 years
• Required to implement new leadership training
• Reinstated after completing sanctions

Why This Matters for White County:

• Shows that even prestigious universities struggle with hazing
• Demonstrates Notre Dame’s reliance on education rather than permanent removal
• Highlights Sigma Chi’s ongoing hazing issues (including recent case at UT Austin)

White County families: These cases show that hazing is not isolated to a few “bad apples.” It’s a systemic problem across Indiana universities—and the institutions that should be protecting students are often part of the problem.

The Legal Landscape for White County Hazing Cases

Indiana Hazing Laws

Indiana has strong anti-hazing laws that provide both criminal and civil remedies for victims:

Criminal Law: Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2

Key Provisions:

• Consent is not a defense—even if the victim “agreed” to participate
• Organizations can be held criminally responsible for hazing that occurs under their watch
• Individuals can be charged for participating in or facilitating hazing

Civil Law: Indiana Personal Injury Claims

Indiana allows hazing victims to pursue civil lawsuits for:

• Negligence (failure to protect students)
• Assault and battery (intentional harmful contact)
• Intentional infliction of emotional distress (extreme and outrageous conduct)
• Premises liability (if hazing occurred on university-owned property)
• Negligent supervision (if the organization failed to monitor activities)

Potential Defendants:

• Local fraternity chapter (for organizing and conducting hazing)
• National fraternity organization (for failing to supervise and enforce policies)
• University (for failing to protect students, especially if they own the property)
• Individual members (for participating in or facilitating hazing)
• Property owners (for premises liability at off-campus locations)

Recent Legal Developments

1. Adam’s Law (Virginia, 2022)

Named after Adam Oakes, who died from alcohol poisoning during a Delta Chi hazing event at VCU, Adam’s Law:

• Made hazing a felony in Virginia
• Required universities to publicly report hazing incidents
• Mandated hazing prevention education for students

Impact on Indiana: While not yet law in Indiana, Adam’s Law shows the trend toward stricter hazing penalties and greater transparency.

2. Timothy J. Piazza Antihazing Law (Pennsylvania, 2018)

Named after Timothy Piazza, who died from traumatic brain injuries at a Beta Theta Pi event at Penn State, this law:

• Made hazing a felony in Pennsylvania
• Created immunity for reporting hazing
• Required hazing prevention education

Impact on Indiana: Pennsylvania’s law demonstrates that states are taking hazing more seriously, and Indiana may follow suit.

3. Federal Stop Campus Hazing Act (Pending)

This federal legislation would:

• Require colleges to publicly report hazing incidents
• Mandate hazing prevention education
• Provide federal funding for hazing prevention programs

Impact on Indiana: If passed, this law would increase transparency at Indiana universities and provide additional resources for prevention.

White County families: The legal landscape is changing. States and the federal government are recognizing that hazing is a serious problem that requires serious consequences.

What White County Families Can Do to Prevent Hazing

1. Talk to Your Child Before They Go to College

Have the conversation early and often:

• Define hazing: Make sure your child understands what hazing looks like (forced drinking, physical abuse, sleep deprivation, humiliation, etc.)
• Discuss the risks: Talk about the medical dangers (alcohol poisoning, rhabdomyolysis, traumatic brain injuries) and psychological impact
• Encourage them to trust their instincts: If something feels wrong, it probably is
• Teach them to recognize peer pressure: Help them practice saying “no” and leaving uncomfortable situations
• Provide alternatives: Suggest they join organizations with strong anti-hazing policies

White County parents: This conversation could save your child’s life.

2. Research Organizations Before Joining

Before your child joins a fraternity, sorority, or other organization:

• Check the organization’s national website for hazing policies and incident reports
• Search for news articles about hazing incidents at that organization
• Talk to current and former members about their experiences
• Ask about the university’s oversight of the organization
• Look for organizations with strong anti-hazing cultures

White County families: Knowledge is power. Help your child make informed decisions.

3. Know the Warning Signs of Hazing

Signs that your child may be experiencing hazing:

• Physical signs: Unexplained injuries, exhaustion, weight loss, changes in appearance
• Behavioral signs: Withdrawal from friends/family, mood swings, anxiety, depression
• Academic signs: Declining grades, missed classes, falling behind
• Social signs: New friends they’re reluctant to introduce, secretive behavior, avoiding certain topics
• Financial signs: Unexplained expenses, requests for money

White County parents: If you notice these signs, ask questions—and don’t accept vague answers.

4. Encourage Reporting

If your child witnesses hazing:

• Report it to the university (Greek life office, student conduct office)
• Report it to the national organization (if applicable)
• Report it to the police—hazing is a crime in Indiana
• Consider reporting anonymously if your child fears retaliation

White County families: Reporting hazing can prevent it from happening to someone else.

5. Support Anti-Hazing Organizations

Get involved with organizations working to prevent hazing:

• Indiana Coalition Against Hazing: www.indianahazingprevention.org
• Clery Center (Campus Safety): www.clerycenter.org
• StopHazing.org: www.stophazing.org
• HazingPrevention.org: www.hazingprevention.org

White County parents: Your voice can help change the culture.

The Future of Hazing in White County

White County families: The future of hazing depends on all of us.

What Needs to Change

1. Universities must prioritize safety over reputation

   • Permanent expulsion for chapters with repeat hazing violations
   • Real oversight of Greek life activities
   • Transparency in reporting hazing incidents

2. National organizations must take responsibility

   • Stronger enforcement of anti-hazing policies
   • Real consequences for chapters that haze
   • Culture change from the top down

3. Students must speak up

   • Report hazing when they see it
   • Support victims who come forward
   • Demand better from their organizations

4. Parents must demand accountability

   • Ask questions about hazing prevention
   • Hold universities accountable when they fail
   • Support legal action when necessary

5. Legislators must strengthen laws

   • Felony penalties for hazing that causes serious injury or death
   • Mandatory reporting of hazing incidents
   • Funding for prevention programs

How White County Families Can Make a Difference

1. Support hazing legislation—contact your state representatives and urge them to strengthen Indiana’s hazing laws
2. Demand transparency—ask Purdue and other Indiana universities to publicly report hazing incidents
3. Hold universities accountable—attend board meetings, write letters, demand change
4. Educate other parents—share information about hazing risks and prevention
5. Support victims—if your child or someone you know is hazed, encourage them to come forward

White County families: You have the power to change the culture. Use it.

You send your children to college expecting them to be safe. You trust that the universities and organizations they join will protect them. But too often, that trust is betrayed.
