🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Dare County: What Parents Need to Know

Hazing is not just a “rite of passage.” It is abuse, assault, and sometimes torture—and it happens right here in Dare County.

Dare County Hazing Risks Are Real

While our current case is in Texas, the same national fraternities and sororities operate at universities near Dare County, including:

• Elizabeth City State University (Elizabeth City, NC)
• East Carolina University (Greenville, NC)
• Coastal Carolina University (Conway, SC – near the NC border)
• UNC Wilmington (Wilmington, NC)

These institutions have active Greek life chapters—including Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others with documented hazing histories.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in Dare County or nearby, they face the same risks we’re fighting in court right now.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Dare County Hazing Victim

1. Hazing Is Illegal in North Carolina

North Carolina has strict anti-hazing laws (N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-35). Hazing that causes serious injury or death is a felony.

2. Consent Is NOT a Defense

Even if your child “agreed” to participate, North Carolina law says consent does not matter. The fraternity, sorority, and university can still be held liable.

3. Who Can Be Sued?

We pursue every responsible party, including:

• The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly responsible)
• The national organization (failed to supervise, knew of hazing risks)
• The university (failed to protect students, may own the fraternity house)
• Individual members (those who participated or allowed the abuse)
• Alumni/hosts (if hazing occurred at their homes)

4. Compensation You May Be Entitled To

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Lost wages (if hazing affected school/work)
• Punitive damages (to punish the organization for extreme misconduct)
