💔 What Happened in Houston Could Happen to a Greeley County Student

📰 Our Landmark Case: $10 Million Lawsuit Against Pi Kappa Phi & University of Houston

Victim: Leonel Bermudez (not even a UH student yet — he was a “ghost rush” expected to transfer)
Hazing Activities:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats, 100+ pushups, bear crawls, and 100-yard crawls until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting
• Another pledge lost consciousness and collapsed during hazing

• Filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi, the University of Houston, and individual members
• Media coverage in ABC13, KHOU 11, Houston Chronicle, and Houston Public Media

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Greeley County Hazing Victim

📜 Kansas Hazing Laws: What You Need to Know

Kansas has strict anti-hazing laws that apply to all colleges and universities in the state — including those near Greeley County.

Kansas Statutes § 21-5417 – Hazing:

“Hazing” means any intentional, knowing or reckless act committed by a student or group of students against another student for the purpose of initiation into, admission into, affiliation with or as a condition for continued membership in a student organization, and which endangers the mental or physical health or safety of that student.”

Criminal Penalties in Kansas:

🚨 Important: Consent is NOT a defense in Kansas.

Even if your child “agreed” to participate, Kansas law says consent does not excuse hazing.

💰 Civil Lawsuits: Holding Institutions Accountable

Criminal charges punish individuals, but civil lawsuits hold the institutions accountable — and provide compensation for victims.

Damages You Can Recover in a Hazing Lawsuit:

• Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
• Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions for Greeley County Families

❓ Can I sue if my child was hazed in another state?

Yes. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including Greeley County families whose children were hazed at out-of-state universities. Our federal court authority allows us to pursue cases across state lines.

❓ What if my child consented to hazing?

Consent is not a defense in Kansas. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, Kansas law explicitly states that consent does not excuse hazing. The fraternity and university are still liable.

❓ How much is my hazing case worth?

Every case is different, but hazing lawsuits often result in multi-million dollar settlements or verdicts, especially when:

• The victim was hospitalized
• The university or national organization knew about prior hazing
• The conduct was especially egregious (waterboarding, forced consumption, etc.)
• There was a pattern of abuse

Our current case seeks $10 million — and we believe Greeley County families deserve the same level of compensation.

❓ How long does a hazing lawsuit take?

Most cases settle within 12-24 months, but complex cases (especially against universities and national fraternities) can take longer. We work aggressively to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing compensation.

❓ Will my child’s name be made public?

We protect our clients’ privacy. Many hazing victims fear retaliation, and we take steps to ensure their safety. We can file cases under pseudonyms when necessary.

❓ What if the hazing didn’t cause serious physical injury?

Even if your child wasn’t hospitalized, they may still have a case for:

• Emotional distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Humiliation and psychological abuse
• Violation of their rights under university policy

❓ Can I sue the university if my child was hazed off-campus?

Yes. Universities have a duty to protect students from hazing, even if it occurs off-campus. Many fraternity houses are university-owned, and universities often have policies requiring them to address hazing regardless of location.

❓ What if the fraternity is already suspended?

Suspension doesn’t eliminate liability. In fact, it can be evidence that the fraternity or university knew about the hazing and failed to stop it earlier. We will pursue all responsible parties, including the national organization and university.
