🛡️ Green County Hazing Victims: Your Legal Rights & How to Fight Back

Hazing doesn’t stop at state lines. Neither do we.

Attorney 911 — Fighting for Green County hazing victims from Houston, Austin & Beaumont

🚨 This is Happening in Green County Right Now

Green County parents, listen carefully: The same fraternities that waterboarded a student at University of Houston have chapters at universities near Green County. The same national organizations that ignored Andrew Coffey’s death in 2017 ignored Leonel Bermudez’s kidney failure in 2025. The same institutional failures that allowed hazing at UH exist at Green County institutions.

This isn’t just happening in Houston. This is happening near Green County. And we will fight for Green County victims with the same fury we’re bringing to the $10 million Pi Kappa Phi lawsuit.

🔥 The $10 Million Warning Shot

We are currently litigating a $10 MILLION hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Here’s what happened:

• A student was waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
• Hospitalized for 3 nights, 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
• Pi Kappa Phi closed the chapter immediately when they heard we were filing suit

This happened in Houston. But the same fraternities operate near Green County. The same “traditions” exist at Green County universities. The same negligence allows hazing to continue.

If your child was hazed at a Green County university or any school near Green County, we will fight for you. We know how to win these cases. We’re winning one right now.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Green County Hazing Victim

1. You Can Sue Even If You “Consented”

Texas law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense to hazing.

Texas Education Code § 37.154:

“It is not a defense to prosecution for an offense under this subchapter that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”

When fraternities say:

• “He agreed to participate”
• “He knew what he was signing up for”
• “He could have left at any time”

TEXAS LAW SAYS: CONSENT DOESN’T MATTER.

2. You Can Sue Multiple Defendants

In our Pi Kappa Phi case, we’re suing:

• The local chapter that conducted the hazing
• The national organization that failed to supervise
• The university that owned the property
• The individual members who participated
• The alumni who hosted hazing at their homes

Green County families: We will identify and sue every responsible party in your case.

3. You Can Recover Millions in Damages

Precedent cases prove hazing victims can win big:

Green County victims: These same results are possible for you.

4. You Have Time — But Not Much

Texas statute of limitations for personal injury: 2 years from the date of injury

Green County families: If your child was hazed, the clock is ticking. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Call us immediately.

🏥 Medical Consequences of Hazing — What Green County Parents Need to Know

Hazing isn’t “boys being boys.” It’s dangerous. It can kill.

Physical Injuries We See in Hazing Cases:

Our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case suffered rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from forced exercise. This is happening to students near Green County right now.

Psychological Trauma from Hazing:

• PTSD — from waterboarding, physical abuse, humiliation
• Anxiety — fear of retribution; ongoing stress
• Depression — shame, isolation, loss of trust
• Suicidal Ideation — feeling hopeless after abuse
• Trust Issues — difficulty forming relationships
• Substance Abuse — self-medicating to cope

Our client is “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution” — this fear is real, and it’s part of the psychological damage hazing causes.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Green County Hazing?

We sue everyone responsible.

1. The Local Chapter

• Organized and conducted the hazing
• Chapter officers directed the activities
• Members participated

2. The National Organization

• Failed to supervise local chapters
• Knew about hazing risks (Andrew Coffey died in 2017 at Pi Kappa Phi)
• Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies
• Deep pockets — millions in assets and insurance

3. The University

• Premises liability — if they own or control the property where hazing occurred
• Negligent supervision — failed to monitor Greek life
• Institutional knowledge — knew hazing happens and didn’t stop it
• Green County universities: Many own fraternity houses. They’re liable when hazing happens on their property.

4. Individual Members

• Participated in hazing
• Failed to stop it
• Personal assets — can be sued individually
• Insurance coverage — may have homeowner’s/renter’s insurance

5. Alumni & Hosts

• Allowed hazing at their homes
• Participated in hazing
• Premises liability — responsible for what happens on their property

📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Green County

STEP 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
• Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) have delayed symptoms
• Medical records are critical evidence for your case
• If your child is vomiting, can’t walk, or has dark urine — go to the ER immediately

STEP 2: Preserve All Evidence

DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING. SAVE EVERYTHING.

STEP 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization

• Do NOT talk to fraternity/sorority leadership
• Do NOT talk to university administrators alone
• Do NOT give statements to anyone without your attorney present
• Do NOT sign anything from the organization

They will try to control the narrative. They will try to intimidate witnesses. They will try to destroy evidence.

STEP 4: Do NOT Post on Social Media

• Do NOT post about the incident
• Do NOT post about being “fine” or “okay”
• Do NOT post party photos
• Do NOT engage with Greek life members online
• Do NOT delete old posts (that’s destruction of evidence)

Insurance companies and defense attorneys will use your posts against you.
