🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Ellis County: What Parents Need to Know
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless tradition.” It’s abuse. It’s assault. And in Ellis County, it’s happening right now.
What Hazing Looks Like in Ellis County:
- Forced alcohol consumption — leading to alcohol poisoning, blackouts, and hospitalizations
- Extreme physical punishment — pushups until collapse, running drills until exhaustion, paddling with wooden weapons
- Psychological torture — waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation rituals
- Sexual abuse — forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, sexual assault
- Medical emergencies — rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, traumatic brain injury
This isn’t happening in some distant state. It’s happening at schools near Ellis County — and it could be happening to your child.
The Same Fraternities Operate Near Ellis County
Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, Phi Delta Theta, Sigma Chi — these are the same national organizations involved in multi-million dollar hazing lawsuits across America. They have chapters near Ellis County. They have the same hazing cultures. And they are putting your child at risk.
⚠️ The University of Houston Case: A Warning for Ellis County Families
This Is What Hazing Does — And This Is What We Do About It
Our client, Leonel Bermudez, was hazed at Pi Kappa Phi’s University of Houston chapter. What happened to him should be a warning to every parent in Ellis County:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he couldn’t stand
- Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault
- Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to lie in his own vomit
- Hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure — 4 days in the hospital
And here’s the worst part: This wasn’t the first time. Andrew Coffey died at a Pi Kappa Phi event in 2017. The fraternity had 8 years to fix their culture. They did nothing. Now they’re being sued for $10 million.
The same thing is happening near Ellis County. The same fraternities. The same negligence. The same danger.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Ellis County?
When hazing happens, everyone who allowed it is responsible. In our lawsuit, we’re suing:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing risks; failed to supervise; has deep pockets |
| University/College | Failed to protect students; may own fraternity houses |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed activities |
| Individual Members | Participated in hazing; failed to stop it |
| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes |
| Insurance Companies | Provide coverage for institutional liability |
Ellis County families: This same liability applies to your child’s case — no matter where the hazing occurred.

⚖️ Oklahoma Law: Your Legal Rights as an Ellis County Family
Oklahoma’s Anti-Hazing Statute (21 O.S. § 1190)
Oklahoma law defines hazing as:
“Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act directed against a student that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization.”
This includes:
- Physical brutality (beatings, paddling, branding)
- Forced consumption of alcohol, food, or drugs
- Sleep deprivation
- Exposure to extreme weather
- Psychological abuse
Penalties:
- Misdemeanor — up to 1 year in jail
- Felony — if death or serious injury occurs
Important: Consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter.
