Hazing Victim Legal Support in Garvin County, Oklahoma

You Are Not Alone — We Fight for Justice

Garvin County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities and Greek organizations to provide a positive experience — not a nightmare of abuse. But hazing happens in Garvin County too.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. A student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, struck with wooden paddles, and hospitalized with kidney failure — all as part of fraternity “tradition.”

This same abuse happens at universities near Garvin County.

The same national fraternities operate in Oklahoma. The same negligence exists at Oklahoma institutions. And we will fight for Garvin County hazing victims with the same aggression.

🚨 What Is Hazing? It’s Not “Tradition” — It’s Abuse

Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them — regardless of their willingness to participate.

In Garvin County and across Oklahoma, hazing includes:

  • Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
  • Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, or substances until vomiting or passing out
  • Psychological torture: Sleep deprivation, humiliation, threats
  • Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
  • Waterboarding/simulated drowning — yes, this happens in Oklahoma too
  • Extreme weather exposure: Forced to strip in cold, stand in heat for hours

These aren’t “pranks.” They’re crimes.

And when universities and fraternities know about it and do nothing — they’re complicit.

💔 The Garvin County Hazing Crisis: It’s Closer Than You Think

Garvin County is home to strong communities, hardworking families, and students with bright futures. But when those students go to college — whether at University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, or smaller regional schools — they face the same hazing risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

Universities Near Garvin County With Active Greek Life:

  • University of Oklahoma (Norman) – Major Greek system with documented hazing incidents
  • Oklahoma State University (Stillwater) – Large fraternity and sorority presence
  • University of Central Oklahoma (Edmond) – Greek life with hazing risks
  • Southeastern Oklahoma State University (Durant) – Smaller but active Greek organizations
  • East Central University (Ada) – Greek presence with oversight challenges

The same national fraternities with deadly hazing histories operate in Oklahoma:

  • Pi Kappa Phi – Currently being sued for waterboarding and kidney failure
  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – Multiple hazing deaths nationwide
  • Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) – $10 million settlement in Ohio hazing death
  • Phi Delta Theta – $6.1 million jury verdict in Louisiana hazing death
  • Beta Theta Pi – $110 million settlement in Penn State hazing death

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in Oklahoma, they face the same risks.

⚖️ Garvin County Families Have Legal Rights

Oklahoma has strong anti-hazing laws, and victims can sue for:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
  • Lost wages and future earning capacity
  • Punitive damages (to punish the organization)

Oklahoma Hazing Law (21 O.S. § 1190)

Hazing is a misdemeanor in Oklahoma, punishable by:

  • Up to 1 year in county jail
  • Fines up to $1,000

But civil lawsuits go further — they hold institutions financially accountable.

Who Can Be Sued in Garvin County Hazing Cases?

  • The fraternity/sorority chapter (local and national)
  • The university (if they knew or should have known)
  • Individual members (those who participated or allowed it)
  • House corporations (if hazing occurred on their property)

Garvin County families: You don’t have to accept “it’s just tradition” as an excuse. Hazing is illegal, dangerous, and preventable.

🏥 Medical Dangers of Hazing: What Garvin County Parents Need to Know

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars — it can kill.

Common Hazing Injuries in Oklahoma:

Injury Cause Risk
Rhabdomyolysis Extreme exercise (500 squats, bear crawls) Kidney failure, death
Acute alcohol poisoning Forced drinking Coma, death
Traumatic brain injury Beatings, falls Permanent disability
Hypothermia/hyperthermia Exposure to extreme weather Organ failure

Our client was hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats. This could happen to your child in Oklahoma.

📞 What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Garvin County

Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately

  • Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
  • Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms right away
  • Medical records are critical evidence

Step 2: Preserve Evidence

  • Save all texts, GroupMe/Snapchat messages, emails about hazing
  • Take photos of injuries (even minor bruises)
  • Document everything — dates, times, locations, witnesses
  • Do NOT delete anything — even if it seems embarrassing

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone

  • They will try to control the narrative
  • They may destroy evidence
  • They may pressure your child to stay quiet
  • Anything your child says can be used against them

  • $10.1 million – Pi Kappa Alpha (Ohio)
  • $6.1 million – Phi Delta Theta (Louisiana)
  • $110 million – Beta Theta Pi (Penn State)

Garvin County families can recover compensation for:
Medical bills (ER, hospitalization, therapy)
Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
Lost wages (if hazing affected work or school)
Future medical care (if injuries require long-term treatment)
Punitive damages (to punish the organization)
