🚨 Hazing Victims in Grenada County, Mississippi — You Are Not Alone
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or student organization in Grenada County — we can help.
Hazing isn’t “tradition.” It isn’t “team building.” It isn’t “brotherhood.” It’s abuse. It’s assault. It’s illegal. And it happens right here in Grenada County.
We are Attorney 911 — a team of former insurance defense lawyers who now fight for victims like you. We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities operate at universities near Grenada County. The same negligence exists here. And we will fight for Grenada County families with the same aggression.
🏥 What Hazing Looks Like in Grenada County
Hazing in Grenada County isn’t just “rough initiation.” It’s:
✅ Physical abuse — beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption — alcohol, food, or substances until vomiting
✅ Waterboarding — simulated drowning, a form of torture
✅ Sleep deprivation — forced late nights, early mornings
✅ Psychological torture — humiliation, threats, isolation
✅ Sexual abuse — forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
This isn’t “boys being boys.” This is a crime.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Grenada County
Mississippi Hazing Law — You Are Protected
Mississippi has strong anti-hazing laws. Under Mississippi Code § 97-3-105, hazing is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine. If hazing causes serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a felony.
Important: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter.
Who Is Liable for Hazing in Grenada County?
If your child was hazed in or near Grenada County, we can sue:
🔹 The local fraternity/sorority chapter — for organizing and conducting hazing
🔹 The national organization — for failing to supervise and prevent hazing
🔹 The university or college — for failing to protect students
🔹 Individual members — for participating in or allowing hazing
🔹 House corporations/alumni — for providing locations where hazing occurred
Even if the hazing happened off-campus, these entities can still be held responsible.
💰 What Your Grenada County Hazing Case Is Worth
Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. What your case is worth depends on:
| Factor | How It Affects Your Case |
|---|---|
| Severity of injuries | Hospitalization, surgery, or permanent damage increases value |
| Psychological trauma | PTSD, anxiety, depression increase value |
| Wrongful death | Highest value cases — represents lifetime lost |
| Institutional knowledge | If university/fraternity knew about prior hazing, value increases |
| Egregious conduct | Waterboarding, sexual abuse, extreme physical abuse increase value |
| Academic impact | Dropped out, failed courses, lost scholarships increase value |
| Career impact | Lost internships, damaged reputation increase value |
Precedent Settlements for Hazing Victims:
| Case | Amount | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz (Ohio) | $10.1 million | Settlement |
| Maxwell Gruver (Louisiana) | $6.1 million | Jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza (Penn State) | $110+ million | Settlement (estimated) |

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Grenada County
Step 1: Get Medical Attention
- Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
- Document everything — medical records are critical evidence
- If your child is showing signs of rhabdomyolysis (muscle pain, brown urine, difficulty walking), seek emergency care immediately
Step 2: Preserve All Evidence
📱 Save all communications:
- Text messages
- GroupMe, WhatsApp, Snapchat messages
- Emails
- Social media posts
📸 Take photos/videos:
- Injuries at all stages of healing
- Locations where hazing occurred
- Items used in hazing (paddles, alcohol containers, etc.)
📝 Document everything:
- Write down what happened, when, and who was involved
- Get names and contact information of witnesses
Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization
- Do NOT confront fraternity/sorority leadership
- Do NOT give statements to university administrators
- Do NOT sign anything from the organization
- Do NOT post on social media about the incident
Anything you say can be used against you. Let your attorney handle all communication.
