π¨ Hazing in Leflore County: Your Child Could Be Next β We Can Help
Leflore County parents, students, and families β
The same fraternities that waterboarded a student at the University of Houston have chapters at universities near Leflore County. The same hazing culture that hospitalized our client exists right here in Mississippi. And the same institutional failures that allowed it to happen at UH are happening at colleges across our region.
Your child could be next.
At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this battle right now. We’ve filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for the systematic hazing that left a young man with kidney failure. We know how to build these cases. We know how to win. And we can fight for Leflore County families with the same aggression.
π₯ What’s Happening in Leflore County?
Leflore County is home to hardworking families who send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But the reality is that hazing is happening at universities near Leflore County right now β and the institutions that should be protecting students are failing them.
The same national fraternities involved in the UH case have chapters at universities across Mississippi. Greek organizations like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and others maintain active chapters where the same “traditions” that led to waterboarding and hospitalization are being passed down.
If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Leflore County, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client.
π₯ The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill
Our client was hospitalized for four days with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure after being forced to perform extreme physical exercises as part of fraternity hazing. He was waterboarded. He was struck with wooden paddles. He was forced to eat until he vomited.
This isn’t just “boys being boys.” This is medical negligence that can be fatal.
Common hazing injuries we see in Leflore County cases:
- Rhabdomyolysis β Muscle breakdown that can cause kidney failure (like our client)
- Alcohol poisoning β Forced drinking that can be deadly
- Traumatic brain injury β From beatings or falls
- Hypothermia β From exposure to cold weather
- Heat stroke β From extreme physical exertion in heat
- Broken bones β From physical abuse
- PTSD, anxiety, depression β From psychological torture
These injuries can cause permanent damage β or death.
βοΈ Leflore County Families Have Legal Rights
Mississippi law protects students from hazing. Under Mississippi Code Β§ 97-3-105, hazing is a misdemeanor offense, and when it causes serious bodily injury, it can be a felony.
But criminal charges aren’t enough. Families deserve compensation for:
- Medical bills
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma
- Academic disruption
And institutions need to be held accountable β not just the individuals involved.
π° Precedent Cases Prove Leflore County Families Can Win
We’re not just talking about justice β we’re talking about real money that can help victims recover and send a message to institutions.
These are real verdicts and settlements from hazing cases:
- $10.1 million β Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State University, Pi Kappa Alpha)
- $6.1 million β Maxwell Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta)
- $110+ million β Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi)
The same results are possible for Leflore County families.

ποΈ Who Is Liable for Leflore County Hazing?
When hazing happens, multiple parties are responsible:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise; knew about “hazing crisis” |
| University | Failed to protect students; premises liability |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed activities |
| Individual Members | Participated in hazing; failed to stop it |
| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes; premises liability |
We sue ALL of them. This isn’t about suing broke college kids β it’s about holding institutions accountable.
π The Institutional Failure: Universities Near Leflore County Are Failing Students
Universities have a duty to protect students. When they own fraternity houses, control Greek life, and have the power to stop hazing β but don’t β they share liability.
At UH, the university OWNED the fraternity house where waterboarding occurred. They collected rent while students were being tortured. They had the power to inspect and shut it down β but didn’t.
The same thing is happening at universities near Leflore County.
π Warning Signs of Hazing in Leflore County
Parents and students should be aware of these red flags that hazing may be occurring:

| Missing class | Too exhausted or injured to attend |

π¬ Real Stories from Real Victims
Our client’s story (University of Houston):
“When he finally made it home, he crawled up the stairs and went to bed. The next day, he was really sore and couldn’t really move. The next day was worse, and the next day, his mom rushed him to the hospital, and he had some kidney failure.”
Stone Foltz’s father (Bowling Green State University):
“It was all about the alcohol. They gave him a bottle and said, ‘Drink this.’ And he did. And he died.”
