Hazing Justice for Alleghany County Families: How Attorney 911 Fights for Victims

🚨 Hazing Happens in Alleghany County — And We’re Fighting Back

Alleghany County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But across North Carolina and the nation, hazing continues to destroy lives—leaving students with permanent injuries, trauma, and even death. This isn’t just “tradition.” It’s abuse. And we’re holding those responsible accountable.

At Attorney 911, we’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—a case that has exposed waterboarding, forced exercise to the point of kidney failure, and systematic torture disguised as “brotherhood.” The same fraternities operate near Alleghany County. The same negligence exists at local institutions. And we’re ready to fight for Alleghany County families with the same aggression.

If your child has been hazed at a university near Alleghany County, you don’t have to stay silent. We will travel to Alleghany County, represent your family, and demand justice—no matter where the incident occurred.

🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Alleghany County and Beyond

What Is Hazing?

Hazing is any intentional, reckless, or negligent act that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in an organization. It is illegal in North Carolina and most states—and victims have the right to sue.

Hazing Happens in Alleghany County

While we’re based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including in Alleghany County and surrounding areas. The same fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and others—have chapters at universities near Alleghany County.

If your child attends or plans to attend college near Alleghany County, they face the same risks.

The Devastating Consequences of Hazing

Hazing isn’t harmless “fun.” It can lead to:
Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown causing kidney failure) – like our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case
Alcohol poisoning (forced drinking until vomiting or death)
Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings or falls)
Sexual assault (forced nudity, harassment, or worse)
PTSD, anxiety, and depression (long-term psychological trauma)
Wrongful death (hazing has killed students nationwide)

These aren’t “accidents.” They’re preventable tragedies—and the institutions that allow them must be held accountable.

💰 Proven Results: Multi-Million Dollar Hazing Cases

We don’t just talk about hazing—we’re actively fighting it in court. Our current $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston proves that hazing victims can and do win big settlements and verdicts.

📌 Landmark Hazing Cases & Settlements

Case Fraternity University Outcome Amount
Stone Foltz (2021) Pi Kappa Alpha Bowling Green State Settlement $10.1M+
Maxwell Gruver (2017) Phi Delta Theta Louisiana State Jury Verdict $6.1M
Timothy Piazza (2017) Beta Theta Pi Penn State Settlement $110M+
Andrew Coffey (2017) Pi Kappa Phi Florida State Settlement Confidential
Leonel Bermudez (2025) Pi Kappa Phi University of Houston $10M Lawsuit Pending $10M

These cases prove one thing: Hazing costs millions. And we know how to win.

⚖️ Legal Rights for Alleghany County Hazing Victims

Who Can Be Sued?

Hazing cases aren’t just about suing individual students. We go after the deep pockets—the institutions that enable abuse.

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter Directly organized and participated in hazing
National Fraternity/Sorority Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowing the risks
University/College Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred; failed to supervise Greek life
Individual Members Physically abused, humiliated, or endangered the victim
Housing Corporations Owned or managed the property where hazing happened
Insurance Companies Provide coverage for institutional liability

North Carolina Hazing Laws

North Carolina has strong anti-hazing laws (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-35). Hazing is a Class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by fines and jail time. Consent is NOT a defense—even if a student “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held liable.

Civil lawsuits allow victims to seek compensation for:
Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
Punitive damages (to punish the organization for outrageous conduct)

🏥 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Alleghany County

1️⃣ Seek Medical Attention Immediately

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

2️⃣ Preserve All Evidence

Photos/Videos – Injuries, hazing activities, locations
Texts/Messages – Group chats, threats, admissions of hazing
Social Media – Screenshots of posts about hazing
Witness Statements – Names and contact info of other victims or bystanders
Medical Records – Hospital reports, therapy notes, prescriptions

⚠️ DO NOT:

  • Delete any messages or posts
  • Talk to the fraternity/sorority or university alone
  • Sign anything from the organization
  • Post about the incident on social media

3️⃣ Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

Time is critical. North Carolina has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but evidence disappears fast. The sooner you act, the stronger your case.
