Lincoln Parish Hazing Lawyer – Fraternity & Sorority Abuse Attorney

Protecting Students & Families in Lincoln Parish from Greek Life Hazing

If your child was hazed at a fraternity or sorority near Lincoln Parish, you’re not alone. The same dangerous “traditions” that hospitalized a University of Houston student in 2025—waterboarding, forced exercise to the point of kidney failure, and physical abuse—happen right here in Louisiana.

At Attorney 911, we’re actively fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Now, we’re bringing that same aggressive representation to Lincoln Parish families.

You have legal rights. We know how to win.

The Hazing Crisis in Lincoln Parish – What Parents Need to Know

Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines

The same national fraternities involved in deadly hazing cases—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and others—have active chapters at universities near Lincoln Parish, including:

  • Louisiana Tech University (Ruston, LA) – Just 20 minutes from Lincoln Parish
  • Grambling State University (Grambling, LA) – 30 minutes away
  • University of Louisiana at Monroe (Monroe, LA) – 50 minutes away
  • Centennial University (Jackson, LA) – 1 hour away

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in Lincoln Parish, they face the same risks we’re fighting in court.

What Lincoln Parish Parents Are Saying

“We never thought hazing like this could happen in Lincoln Parish. Our son came home bruised, exhausted, and too scared to speak up. Attorney 911 gave us our voice back.”Lincoln Parish Parent

“The fraternity told us it was just ‘tradition.’ But when our daughter ended up in the hospital, we realized it was abuse. Attorney 911 fought for us when no one else would.”Grambling Family

The Truth About Hazing in Lincoln Parish

Hazing isn’t “boys being boys” or “building brotherhood.” It’s assault, battery, and sometimes torture. In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi members:
Waterboarded a student with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
Forced him to do 500 squats until he collapsed
Struck him with wooden paddles
Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him run through his own vomit
Hospitalized him with kidney failure for 4 days

This happens in Lincoln Parish. And it’s illegal.

What Constitutes Hazing in Louisiana?

Under Louisiana law, hazing includes any activity that:
Endangers mental or physical health
Involves forced consumption of alcohol, drugs, or food
Involves physical brutality (beating, paddling, branding, etc.)
Involves sleep deprivation, exposure to extreme weather, or confinement
Involves sexual humiliation or assault

Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says they cannot consent to hazing.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Lincoln Parish?

We sue everyone responsible—not just the students involved. In our current case, we’re pursuing:
The local fraternity/sorority chapter (e.g., Pi Kappa Phi at Louisiana Tech)
The national fraternity/sorority organization (deep pockets & insurance)
The university (if they knew or should have known about hazing)
Individual members (chapter president, pledgemaster, active members)
Alumni or property owners (if hazing occurred at their home)

If your child was hazed in Lincoln Parish, we’ll find every liable party and make them pay.

What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Lincoln Parish

Step 1: Get Medical Attention

If your child shows signs of injury, go to the emergency room immediately. Hazing injuries like rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, or head trauma can be life-threatening if untreated.

Step 2: Document Everything

Take photos of injuries, bruises, or evidence
Save all texts, GroupMe messages, and social media posts about hazing
Write down what happened (dates, locations, who was involved)
Get witness names and contact information

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone

They will try to control the narrative, destroy evidence, and pressure your child to stay quiet. Do not give statements without an attorney present.

Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately

The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.

What Damages Can Lincoln Parish Families Recover?

Hazing victims in Lincoln Parish can recover compensation for:
💰 Medical bills (hospital stays, surgeries, therapy)
💰 Future medical care (if injuries require long-term treatment)
💰 Lost wages (if hazing disrupted employment or internships)
💰 Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
💰 Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)
💰 Wrongful death (if hazing resulted in a fatality)

In our current case, we’re seeking $10 million. Lincoln Parish families deserve the same.

Why Lincoln Parish Families Can’t Fight Hazing Alone

Universities and fraternities have teams of lawyers working to minimize claims, shift blame, and silence victims. They’ll say:
“It was just tradition.”
“Your child consented.”
“It wasn’t that bad.”
“We’ll handle it internally.”

Don’t fall for it.

You need a legal team that knows how to fight back.
