ENGLISH

🚨 Hazing Victims in Majuro Atoll: You Are Not Alone

If you or your child has been hazed at a university, fraternity, sorority, or student organization in Majuro Atoll, you have legal rights — and we can help.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. This isn’t theoretical — we’re in the courtroom right now, demanding justice for a young man who was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure.

The same fraternities operate at universities near Majuro Atoll. The same negligence exists at Majuro Atoll institutions. And we will fight for Majuro Atoll families with the same aggression.

🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Majuro Atoll

In November 2025, our client Leonel Bermudez — a “ghost rush” not even enrolled at the University of Houston yet — accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi. Over the next seven weeks, he was subjected to:

  • Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning — a war crime when done to enemy combatants)
  • Forced to eat milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting — then forced to continue running sprints
  • 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls, and 100-yard crawls — until he collapsed and couldn’t stand
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to carry objects of a sexual nature at all times
  • Another pledge was hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour
  • A pledge lost consciousness during a workout on October 15 — they kept going

After the final hazing session on November 3, 2025, Bermudez crawled up the stairs when he got home. The next day, he couldn’t move. His mother rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure. He spent three nights and four days in the hospital.

This happened in Houston. But the same hazing happens at universities near Majuro Atoll.

Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America — including near Majuro Atoll. The same national organization that failed to prevent this in Houston oversees chapters where YOUR child might be pledging.

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where this torture occurred. Universities near Majuro Atoll have the same power — and the same liability when they fail to protect students.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Majuro Atoll

Hazing is not “tradition.” It’s not “building brotherhood.” It’s not “boys being boys.”

It is:

  • Assault and battery — when they hit you, force you to exercise, or waterboard you
  • Torture — when they simulate drowning or force you to endure extreme physical punishment
  • Reckless endangerment — when they know the risks and ignore them
  • Institutional negligence — when universities and national organizations know about hazing and do nothing to stop it

Under the law, you have the right to:

  • Hold the fraternity or sorority accountable
  • Hold the national organization accountable
  • Hold the university accountable
  • Hold individual members accountable
  • Seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and emotional trauma

And in Majuro Atoll, you have the right to pursue justice even if the hazing happened elsewhere in the United States. We serve hazing victims nationwide, including in Majuro Atoll.

💰 What Your Case Could Be Worth

Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. Here’s what other families have received:

Case University Fraternity Outcome
Stone Foltz Bowling Green State Pi Kappa Alpha $10.1 million
Maxwell Gruver Louisiana State Phi Delta Theta $6.1 million jury verdict
Timothy Piazza Penn State Beta Theta Pi $110+ million (estimated)
Adam Oakes Virginia Commonwealth Delta Chi $4+ million settlement

Our current case seeks $10 million. This amount isn’t just about compensation — it’s about sending a message that hazing will not be tolerated.

Your case could include compensation for:

  • Medical expenses — hospital bills, therapy, future treatment
  • Pain and suffering — physical pain from injuries
  • Emotional distress — PTSD, anxiety, depression
  • Lost academic opportunities — if hazing disrupted your education
  • Punitive damages — to punish the organization and prevent future hazing

📋 What to Do If You or Your Child Was Hazed in Majuro Atoll

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms right away. Medical records are crucial evidence.

2. Preserve All Evidence

  • Photos/Videos: Take pictures of any injuries at all stages of healing. Document the location where hazing occurred.
  • Text Messages/Group Chats: Screenshot all communications about hazing. Do NOT delete anything.
  • Social Media: Save any posts, messages, or photos related to hazing. Do NOT post about the incident online.
  • Witness Information: Get names and contact information of anyone who witnessed the hazing.
  • Documents: Save any pledge manuals, schedules, or rules given to you.

3. Do NOT Talk to the Organization Without Legal Counsel

  • Do NOT speak to fraternity/sorority leadership
  • Do NOT give statements to university administrators
  • Do NOT sign anything from the organization
  • Do NOT talk to insurance companies or their lawyers

Anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all communication.

4. Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

🎯 Common Hazing Activities That Create Legal Liability

Hazing takes many forms, and all of these activities can support a legal claim if they caused harm:

Category Examples
Physical Abuse Beatings, paddling, branding, burning, forced exercise to exhaustion
Forced Consumption Alcohol (binge drinking, chugging), food (eating until vomiting), non-food substances
Waterboarding/Drowning Simulated drowning, water torture, held underwater
Sleep Deprivation Forced late nights, early mornings, disrupted sleep
Psychological Torture Humiliation, degradation, verbal abuse, threats, isolation
Sexual Abuse Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects, sexual assault
Exposure Cold weather exposure, heat exposure, confined spaces
Servitude Forced cleaning, driving members, running errands

If you experienced any of these activities and were injured — physically or emotionally — you may have a case.

🏛️ Who We Can Sue for Majuro Atoll Hazing Victims

We pursue every liable party to maximize your compensation:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local Chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing
National Organization Knew or should have known about hazing; failed to supervise
University/College Owned property where hazing occurred; failed to protect students
Housing Corporation Owned/controlled property where hazing occurred
Chapter Officers Leadership responsibility; directed hazing activities
Individual Members Participated in hazing; failed to stop it
Former Members Hosted hazing at their homes; premises liability
Alumni Enabled hazing culture; financial support
Insurance Companies Provide coverage for institutional liability

We don’t just sue broke college students. We go after the deep pockets — the national organizations and universities that enabled the hazing.

⏳ Statute of Limitations — Don’t Wait Too Long

In most states, you have 2 YEARS from the date of injury to file a lawsuit.

If you don’t file before the deadline, you lose your right to sue forever.

Hazing victims often delay reporting due to:

  • Shame and embarrassment
  • Fear of social retaliation
  • Loyalty to the organization
  • Not recognizing it as hazing
  • Pressure from members to stay quiet

Don’t let the statute of limitations expire. Contact us today.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Majuro Atoll Families

Q: Can I sue if I consented to the hazing activities?

A: YES. In most states, including Texas, consent is not a defense to hazing. The law specifically says you cannot consent to being hazed. Even if you agreed to participate, the organization is still liable.

Q: What if I’m afraid of retaliation?

A: We understand. Many hazing victims fear social or physical retaliation. We will protect your identity and take steps to prevent retaliation. Our client in the Houston case is also fearful of retribution — we know how to handle these situations.

Q: How much does it cost to hire you?

A: $0 upfront. We work on contingency, which means you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so we only get paid if you get paid.

Q: How long will my case take?

A: It depends. Some cases settle within months. Others take years, especially if they go to trial. We will work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.

Q: Can you help if the hazing happened outside Majuro Atoll?

A: YES. We serve hazing victims nationwide. If the hazing occurred at a university in the United States, we can evaluate your case regardless of where you live now.

Q: What if I was hazed but not physically injured?

A: You may still have a case. Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) can support a claim even without physical injury. Many hazing victims suffer long-term emotional harm.

Q: Can I sue the university even if they didn’t know about the hazing?

A: YES. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they failed to implement proper oversight of Greek organizations, they can be held liable for negligent supervision — even if they didn’t know about the specific hazing incident.

Q: What if the fraternity has already suspended or closed the chapter?

A: It doesn’t matter. The national organization and university are still liable. In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi closed the chapter before the lawsuit was filed — but we’re still pursuing them for millions.
