Hazing Lawyers for Sherman County Families: Justice for Victims of Fraternity and Sorority Abuse
When Tradition Becomes Torture: Sherman County Students Deserve Protection
Sherman County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They expect universities to protect students from harm. They expect fraternities and sororities to build character, not break bodies. But too often, those expectations are shattered by the brutal reality of hazing.
At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this crisis right now. Our attorneys are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme hazing. This isn’t just happening in Houston—it’s happening at universities near Sherman County. The same fraternities. The same negligence. The same broken promises to families.
If your child has been hazed in Sherman County or at any university nearby, we can help. We will fight for Sherman County families with the same aggression we’re bringing to our current case.
The Hazing Crisis in Sherman County: What Families Need to Know
What Is Hazing?
Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in an organization. In Nebraska, this includes:
- Physical brutality (beatings, paddling, forced exercise)
- Sleep deprivation and exposure to extreme weather
- Forced consumption of food, alcohol, or other substances
- Psychological abuse and humiliation
- Any activity that creates unreasonable risk of harm
Important: In Nebraska, consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held legally responsible.
Hazing Happens Near Sherman County
While our current case is in Texas, the same national fraternities and sororities operate at universities near Sherman County. Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other organizations with documented hazing histories have chapters at institutions that Sherman County students attend.
Universities near Sherman County face the same Greek life oversight challenges that allowed hazing at UH. If there’s a university near Sherman County, there’s likely a fraternity chapter with the same hazing culture we’re fighting.
The Medical Consequences of Hazing
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “girls going through initiation.” It has serious medical consequences:
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown that can lead to kidney failure)
- Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
- Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings or falls)
- Heat stroke or hypothermia (from forced exposure)
- Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
- Death
Our current client spent four days in the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, and other extreme exercises. He was waterboarded. He was struck with wooden paddles. This is not tradition—it’s torture.
Who Is Liable When Hazing Happens to Sherman County Students?
When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held legally responsible:
1. The Local Chapter
The Sherman County chapter that organized and conducted the hazing activities can be sued for:
- Negligence in allowing dangerous activities
- Assault and battery (physical abuse)
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Premises liability (if hazing occurred at their facility)
2. National Fraternity/Sorority Organizations
National organizations can be held liable for:
- Failing to supervise Sherman County chapters
- Failing to enforce anti-hazing policies
- Having knowledge of prior hazing incidents and not acting
- Creating a culture that enables hazing
Our current case: Pi Kappa Phi National is named as a defendant for failing to prevent hazing despite knowing about a “hazing crisis” within their organization.
3. Universities Near Sherman County
Universities can be held liable for:
- Failing to monitor Greek organizations
- Failing to enforce anti-hazing policies
- Premises liability (if they own or control fraternity/sorority properties)
- Negligent supervision of student organizations
Our current case: University of Houston is named as a defendant because they own the fraternity house where the hazing occurred and failed to prevent it despite having a prior hazing incident in 2017.
4. Individual Members and Officers
Individuals who participated in or organized hazing can be sued personally for:
- Assault and battery
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- Negligent supervision (if they were in leadership positions)
Precedent: In the Stone Foltz case, the chapter president was ordered to pay $6.5 million personally for his role in hazing that led to a student’s death.
5. Housing Corporations
If hazing occurred at a fraternity or sorority house, the housing corporation that owns the property can be held liable for premises liability.
6. Alumni and Former Members
Alumni who host or facilitate hazing activities can be held liable for:
- Premises liability (if hazing occurred at their home)
- Aiding and abetting hazing
- Negligent supervision
Our current case: A former member and his spouse are named as defendants because some hazing sessions occurred at their residence.
Sherman County Families: You Have Legal Rights
If your child has been hazed in Sherman County or at any university nearby, you have legal rights under Nebraska law and federal civil rights statutes:

- Lost wages (if your child missed work or internships)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
- Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)

2. Criminal Charges
Hazing is a crime in Nebraska. Depending on the severity, individuals can face:

- Felony charges (for hazing that causes serious bodily injury or death)
3. Title IX Claims
If your child was hazed in a way that created a hostile educational environment, you may have a claim under Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in education.

What to Do If Your Child Has Been Hazed in Sherman County
If your child has been hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, memories fade, and legal deadlines approach. Here’s what Sherman County families should do:
1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately
Even if injuries seem minor, get a medical evaluation. Some consequences of hazing (like rhabdomyolysis) may not appear immediately. Medical records create crucial documentation for your case.
2. Preserve All Evidence
- Photos/videos: Document injuries, hazing locations, any items used in hazing
- Communications: Save all texts, emails, social media messages, GroupMe chats
- Documents: Pledge manuals, event schedules, any written rules
- Witness information: Names and contact info of other victims or witnesses
Important: Do NOT delete anything. Even if it seems embarrassing or incriminating, it may be crucial evidence.
3. Do NOT Confront the Organization
- Do NOT talk to fraternity/sorority leadership
- Do NOT talk to university administrators without legal counsel
- Do NOT sign anything from the organization
- Do NOT post about the incident on social media
Anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all communications.
4. Contact an Attorney Immediately
The statute of limitations in Nebraska is typically 2 years from the date of injury. However:
- Evidence disappears quickly
- Witnesses forget details
- Organizations destroy records
- Insurance companies pressure victims to settle
Call Attorney 911 as soon as possible at 1-888-ATTY-911.
5. Report to Authorities (Optional)
You can report hazing to:
- Local law enforcement
- University administration
- Nebraska Department of Education
However, consult with an attorney first. Reporting can trigger investigations that may help your case, but it’s important to do it strategically.

Punitive Damages
In cases of extreme misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoers and deter future hazing. These are appropriate when:
- Conduct was intentional or reckless
- Defendants showed deliberate indifference to safety
- There was a pattern of similar misconduct
Precedent: In the Maxwell Gruver case, a jury awarded $6.1 million in damages, including punitive damages, for hazing that led to a student’s death.
Sherman County Families: Common Defenses and How We Counter Them
When hazing cases go to court, defendants often make these arguments. Here’s how we counter them:
Defense 1: “He Consented to Participate”
Our Response:
- Nebraska law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing
- Hazing involves coercion, peer pressure, and fear of social exclusion
- Victims often don’t know what they’re consenting to until it’s too late
- The law recognizes that true consent is impossible in these situations
Defense 2: “It Was Just Tradition”
Our Response:
- Tradition doesn’t justify illegal activity
- If a tradition involves assault, battery, or endangering health, it’s not protected
- Organizations have a duty to change dangerous traditions
- Courts have repeatedly rejected this defense
Defense 3: “We Didn’t Know It Was Happening”
Our Response:
- Universities and national organizations have a duty to monitor their chapters
- Prior incidents (like our UH case) show they should have known
- Failure to implement oversight is negligence
- “Don’t ask, don’t tell” is not a defense
Defense 4: “It Wasn’t That Bad”
Our Response:
- Hazing doesn’t have to result in death to be serious
- Psychological trauma can be just as damaging as physical injuries
- Medical evidence (like our client’s kidney failure) proves severity
- Juries understand the long-term impact of hazing
Defense 5: “He Could Have Left at Any Time”
Our Response:
- Fear of retaliation and social ostracism prevents victims from leaving
- Power dynamics in Greek organizations make true “choice” impossible
- Victims often believe they won’t be accepted if they don’t comply
- The law recognizes duress as negating consent

To Fraternities and Sororities:
We know who you are. We know your corporate structures. We know your national organizations have paid millions in hazing settlements. If your chapter operates near Sherman County, know that Attorney 911 represents victims across America.
