⚠️ What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Morrill County
In November 2025, our client Leonel Bermudez accepted a bid to join the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston. What followed was seven weeks of systematic abuse:
- 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 milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting — then forced to keep running
- Another pledge lost consciousness during a workout — they kept going
- November 3, 2025 — Bermudez was punished with extreme exercise until he couldn’t stand without help
- November 6, 2025 — His mother rushed him to the hospital with brown urine — a sign of rhabdomyolysis, a life-threatening condition where muscle tissue breaks down and damages the kidneys
- He spent 3 nights and 4 days in the hospital with acute kidney failure
This didn’t happen in some distant state. This happened in Texas. This could happen — and likely is happening — at colleges and universities near Morrill County.
Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America, including in Nebraska. The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist at Morrill County-area fraternities. The same negligence exists at Morrill County institutions.
Morrill County families: If your child has been hazed, we need to act now.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Morrill County Hazing?
Hazing is not just the fault of individual students. Institutions are responsible too — and they have the money to pay.
In our Houston case, we are suing:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable | Morrill County Application |
|---|---|---|
| Pi Kappa Phi National | Knew about “hazing crisis”; failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite Andrew Coffey’s death in 2017 | Same national organizations operate near Morrill County |
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing | Every Morrill County fraternity chapter can be held liable |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing | Chapter presidents, pledge masters, and officers near Morrill County are personally liable |
| University | Owned the fraternity house; failed to prevent hazing despite prior incidents | Morrill County universities that own or control fraternity houses face the same liability |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing | Every Morrill County student involved can be sued personally |
| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes | Morrill County alumni who enable hazing are liable |
| Insurance Companies | Provide coverage for institutional liability | Deep pockets for Morrill County victims |
Morrill County families: We know how to pursue every liable party — and we know where the money is.
💰 Morrill County Hazing Victims Can Win Millions
Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Our $10 million demand is supported by precedent:
| Case | Fraternity | University | Outcome | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Pi Kappa Alpha | Bowling Green State | Settlement | $10.1 million |
| Maxwell Gruver | Phi Delta Theta | Louisiana State | Jury Verdict | $6.1 million |
| Timothy Piazza | Beta Theta Pi | Penn State | Settlement | $110+ million |
| Leonel Bermudez | Pi Kappa Phi | University of Houston | $10 million lawsuit pending | Our case |
