⚠️ The Hazing Crisis in Warren County — What Local Families Need to Know
Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines — It Happens in Warren County Too
Hazing isn’t just a problem in big cities or distant states. It happens at colleges and universities near Warren County, Missouri. The same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries operate chapters at institutions within driving distance of Warren County.
Warren County families should know:
- Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national fraternities with documented hazing histories have chapters at universities near Warren County
- Hazing occurs in fraternities, sororities, sports teams, marching bands, ROTC, and other student organizations in the region
- Universities near Warren County have the same duty to protect students — and the same liability when they fail
- Warren County students are at risk — just like our client in Houston who was hospitalized after being waterboarded and forced to do extreme physical punishment
What Warren County Parents Are Saying
“We sent our son to college expecting him to be safe. Instead, he was waterboarded and ended up in the hospital with kidney failure. The fraternity called it ‘tradition.’ We call it torture. Attorney 911 is helping us fight back — and we want Warren County families to know they don’t have to stay silent.” — Parent of a hazing victim
“I was afraid to speak up because I didn’t want to lose my spot in the fraternity. But after seeing what happened to that student in Houston, I realized this could have been me. Warren County students need to know they have rights.” — Former pledge at a Missouri university
📚 What Is Hazing? — Warren County Legal Definition
Under Missouri law, hazing is defined as any activity that recklessly endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, admission, or continued membership in an organization.
Examples of hazing that Warren County students may experience:
- Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion (like 500 squats or 100 pushups)
- Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, or non-food substances until vomiting
- Waterboarding or simulated drowning: As seen in our Houston case
- Sleep deprivation: Forced late nights, early mornings, or all-night activities
- Psychological torture: Humiliation, degradation, threats of expulsion
- Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
- Exposure to elements: Forced to stay outside in cold or heat without proper clothing
- Servitude: Forced to clean, drive members, or perform personal tasks
Missouri law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if a Warren County student “agreed” to participate, the organization and individuals can still be held liable.
🏛️ Who Can Be Sued for Hazing in Warren County?
When hazing occurs, everyone who participated or allowed it can be held accountable — including:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable | Warren County Application |
|---|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing | Warren County fraternity/sorority chapters |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise despite knowing about hazing culture | Pi Kappa Phi, SAE, Pike, etc. — all operate near Warren County |
| University/College | Failed to protect students despite having power to do so | Universities near Warren County with Greek life |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing | Chapter presidents, pledgemasters at Warren County institutions |

| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes | Former members in Warren County area |

In our Houston case, we’re suing all of these entities — and we’ll do the same for Warren County families.

- Do not post about the incident on social media
4. Report the Incident

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hazing in Warren County
Q: My child agreed to participate. Can we still sue?
A: Yes. Missouri law states that consent is NOT a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization and individuals can still be held liable.
Q: The fraternity says it was just “tradition.” Is that a defense?
A: No. “Tradition” does not excuse illegal or dangerous behavior. Waterboarding, forced exercise to collapse, and striking with wooden paddles are not “tradition” — they’re abuse.
Q: We’re in Warren County. Can a Texas law firm help us?
A: Absolutely. While we’re based in Texas, our federal court authority and nationwide experience allow us to represent clients anywhere — including Warren County, Missouri. We offer free video consultations and travel to Warren County for meetings, depositions, and trials.
Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so we only get paid if you do.
Q: What if the hazing happened at a university outside of Missouri?
A: We can still help. Hazing is a national problem, and we represent victims across the country. Whether the incident occurred in Missouri, Illinois, or anywhere else, we have the experience to pursue your case.
Q: My child is afraid of retaliation. What can we do?
A: We understand. Many hazing victims fear speaking out. We take confidentiality seriously and work to protect our clients from retaliation. In our Houston case, our client was “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution” — we’re fighting to make sure no one else has to live in fear.
Q: How long does a hazing lawsuit take?
A: Every case is different. Some settle within months; others may take years if they go to trial. We work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while maximizing your recovery. The most important thing is to act quickly — evidence disappears and deadlines expire.
Q: What if my child was hazed but not physically injured?
A: Psychological trauma is still a serious injury. PTSD, anxiety, depression, and emotional distress are all compensable. Many hazing victims suffer long-term psychological harm even without physical injuries.
Q: Can we sue the university?
A: Yes, if the university failed to protect your child. Universities have a duty to provide a safe environment. If they knew or should have known about hazing risks and failed to act, they can be held liable. In our Houston case, we’re suing the University of Houston because they owned the fraternity house where the hazing occurred.
Q: What if my child was hazed at a high school in Warren County?
A: We handle hazing cases at all levels — high school, college, and beyond. High school hazing is just as serious and just as illegal. Contact us to discuss your options.
🔥 Our $10 Million Fight Against Pi Kappa Phi — What It Means for Warren County
The Case That’s Putting Fraternities on Notice Nationwide

- Waterboarding 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
- Forced to lie in vomit-soaked grass
- Another pledge hog-tied with an object in his mouth for over an hour
This happened in Houston. But it could happen in Warren County.

Warren County families: This is what hazing looks like. This is what we fight against. And this is what we’ll fight for you.
