Attorney 911: Fighting Hazing in Cass County — Justice for Victims, Accountability for Institutions

🚨 Hazing in Cass County: The Crisis No One Is Talking About

Cass County families: Your child went to college expecting opportunity, friendship, and growth. Instead, they may have faced torture, humiliation, and life-threatening abuse—all in the name of “tradition.”

At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this crisis right now in Texas—and we’re bringing that fight to Cass County. If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization in Cass County, you are not powerless. You have rights. And we will help you enforce them.

🔥 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Not “Just Tradition”)

Hazing isn’t harmless fun. It’s abuse disguised as initiation—and it’s happening at schools across North Dakota, including near Cass County.

Hazing in Cass County Looks Like This:

✔ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or dangerous substances until vomiting (or worse)
✔ Extreme physical punishment – 100+ pushups, 500+ squats, bear crawls, or “suicide” sprints until collapse
✔ Psychological torture – Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, or being hog-tied for hours
✔ Sexual humiliation – Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, or degrading rituals
✔ Sleep deprivation – Forced to drive members at all hours, leading to exhaustion and accidents
✔ Assault with weapons – Being struck with paddles, belts, or other objects

This isn’t “brotherhood.” It’s a crime.

💔 The Devastating Consequences of Hazing in Cass County

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars—it destroys lives.

Medical Consequences:

• Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) – Just like our client in Houston
• Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
• Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings or falls)
• Hypothermia or heatstroke (from forced exposure)
• Permanent organ damage (liver, kidneys, heart)
• Death

Psychological Consequences:

• PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
• Severe anxiety & depression
• Suicidal ideation
• Trust issues & social withdrawal
• Academic decline (leading to lost scholarships or expulsion)

Financial Consequences:

• Medical bills (ER visits, hospital stays, therapy)
• Lost wages (from missed work or inability to work)
• Tuition & fees (if forced to drop out)
• Legal costs (if you don’t have an attorney fighting for you)

Cass County families: If your child has been hazed, you don’t have to pay for the harm caused by others. We fight to make the responsible parties cover every cost—medical, emotional, and financial.

🏛️ Who Is Responsible for Hazing in Cass County?

Hazing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Multiple parties are liable—and we hold them all accountable.

1. The Local Chapter (Fraternity/Sorority/Sports Team)

• Directly organized and carried out the hazing
• Chapter officers (President, Pledgemaster, etc.) – Gave orders, enforced rules
• Active members – Participated in or witnessed abuse
• Former members – Allowed hazing at their homes

2. The National Organization (If Applicable)

• Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies (despite knowing about prior incidents)
• Ignored warnings (like Pi Kappa Phi, which had a prior hazing death in 2017)
• Enabled a culture of abuse (by not removing dangerous chapters)

3. The University or College

• Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred (premises liability)
• Failed to supervise Greek life or student organizations
• Ignored prior hazing incidents (showing a pattern of negligence)
• Allowed dangerous organizations to operate on campus

4. Individual Perpetrators

• Each person who participated in hazing can be sued personally
• Chapter leaders face the highest liability
• Criminal charges may also apply (hazing is a crime in North Dakota)

Cass County families: We don’t just sue one person—we sue everyone who allowed this to happen. That’s how we maximize your compensation.

💰 How Much Is a Cass County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing cases result in multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts. Here’s what similar cases have won:

Cass County families: If your child was hazed, you could be entitled to compensation for:
✅ Medical bills (past, present, and future)
✅ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
✅ Lost wages & future earning capacity
✅ Punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoers)
✅ Legal fees (we work on contingency—you pay nothing upfront)

We don’t just fight for compensation—we fight to change the culture. Every lawsuit sends a message: Hazing will not be tolerated in Cass County.

⚖️ North Dakota Hazing Laws: What Cass County Families Need to Know

Hazing Is a Crime in North Dakota

Under North Dakota Century Code § 15.1-19-13, hazing is defined as:

“Any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them, regardless of the person’s willingness to participate.”

This means:

• “Consent” is not a defense – Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the hazing is still illegal.
• Criminal penalties apply – Hazing can be a misdemeanor or felony, depending on severity.
• Organizations can be held liable – Fraternities, sororities, and universities can be sued.

Who Can Be Charged?

• Individuals who participated in hazing
• Chapter leaders who allowed it
• Universities that failed to prevent it

Cass County families: If your child was hazed, criminal charges may be filed in addition to a civil lawsuit. We work with law enforcement to ensure justice is served.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Cass County

Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately

• Go to the ER – Even if injuries seem minor, some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) can be life-threatening.
• Document everything – Keep records of all medical visits, diagnoses, and treatments.

Step 2: Preserve Evidence

• Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any objects used (paddles, alcohol bottles, etc.).
• Save all communications – Texts, GroupMe messages, Snapchats, emails, social media posts.
• Write down what happened – Include dates, times, locations, and who was involved.
• Get witness names – Other pledges, bystanders, or friends who saw the abuse.

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization or Their Lawyers

• Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to silence you.
• Do not sign anything without consulting an attorney.
• Do not give a statement to their insurance company or lawyers.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

• Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 (1-888-288-9911)
• Email: ralph@atty911.com
• Free consultation – We’ll evaluate your case at no cost.

The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and statutes of limitations expire. Don’t wait.

📌 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Cass County Families

Q: My child was hazed, but they’re afraid of retaliation. Can we still sue?

A: Yes. We protect our clients’ identities and take steps to prevent retaliation. Many hazing victims are afraid to speak out—but silence only protects the abusers.

Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Does that matter?

A: No. Under North Dakota law, consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the hazing is still illegal.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

A: Nothing upfront. We work on contingency—you only pay if we win. No hourly fees, no hidden costs.

Q: Can we sue if the hazing happened off-campus?

A: Yes. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on or off campus. If it was part of a fraternity, sorority, or student organization activity, they can be held liable.

Q: What if the university says they didn’t know about the hazing?

A: They’re lying. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they failed to monitor Greek life or ignored prior incidents, they’re negligent—and we’ll prove it.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit in Cass County?

A: In North Dakota, the statute of limitations for personal injury is 6 years. However, evidence disappears quickly, so contact us immediately to preserve your case.

Q: Will this affect my child’s standing at the university?

A: No. Universities cannot retaliate against students for reporting hazing. If they try, we’ll sue them for that too.

Q: Can we sue even if no one was hospitalized?

A: Yes. Even if your child wasn’t hospitalized, hazing causes emotional trauma, PTSD, and other serious harm. You can still pursue compensation.
