Hazing Lawyer in Belknap County, NH | Attorney 911

Belknap County Families: Your Child Was Hazed. We Will Fight for Justice.

Hazing is not tradition. It is not bonding. It is abuse.

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or student organization in Belknap County, New Hampshire—whether at Plymouth State University, New England College, or another nearby school—they deserve justice. You deserve answers.

At Attorney 911, we are actively fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston, where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This same fraternity, and others like it, operate chapters across New England—including near Belknap County.

We know how to hold these organizations accountable. And we will fight just as hard for Belknap County families.

🚨 This Happens in Belknap County Too

The Same Fraternities. The Same Hazing. The Same Negligence.

Belknap County is home to Plymouth State University (PSU) and New England College (NEC), both with active Greek life communities. The same national fraternities involved in our $10 million lawsuit—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and others—have chapters at schools near Belknap County.

If your child was hazed in Belknap County, we can help.

What Hazing Looks Like in Belknap County

✔ Psychological torture – Sleep deprivation, humiliation, threats of expulsion
✔ Waterboarding & simulated drowning – As seen in our current case
✔ Sexual humiliation & assault – Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, worse
✔ Extreme calisthenics – 100+ pushups, 500+ squats, bear crawls, 100-yard crawls

⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Belknap County, NH

New Hampshire Hazing Law

New Hampshire has strict anti-hazing laws under RSA 631:7. Hazing is a misdemeanor, and organizations can be fined up to $5,000 for allowing it.

But criminal charges are not enough. You can also sue for money damages to cover:
✔ Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
✔ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
✔ Lost wages (if your child missed work or internships)
✔ Educational disruption (tuition refunds, scholarship loss)
✔ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)

New Hampshire law does NOT allow “consent” as a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, they cannot legally consent to hazing.

📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Belknap County

Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
• Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and alcohol poisoning can be life-threatening
• Medical records are critical evidence

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

✅ Text messages & social media (GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram, etc.)
✅ Photos & videos (injuries, hazing activities, fraternity house)
✅ Witness names & contact info (other pledges, bystanders)
✅ Fraternity documents (pledge manuals, schedules, rules)
✅ Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes)

Do NOT delete anything. Do NOT talk to the fraternity or university without a lawyer.

Step 3: Do NOT Sign Anything

Universities and fraternities will try to get you to sign documents that waive your rights. Do not sign anything without legal advice.

Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately

The statute of limitations in New Hampshire is 3 years for personal injury claims. But evidence disappears fast, and witnesses forget.

Call us now before it’s too late.
