Hazing Victims in Grant County, Oregon: Your Legal Rights and How to Get Justice
If you or your child has been hazed at a college, university, or Greek organization in Grant County, Oregon, you are not alone—and you have powerful legal rights.
Hazing is not just “tradition” or “harmless fun.” It is abuse, assault, and often a crime—and institutions that allow it must be held accountable. At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston, where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities, the same culture, and the same negligence exist at universities near Grant County.
If this happened to your child in Grant County, we will fight for you with the same aggression.
🚨 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Oregon)
Hazing is any activity that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in an organization. Under Oregon law (ORS 163.197), hazing is a crime—even if the victim “consented.”
Examples of Hazing That Can Lead to Lawsuits in Grant County:
✅ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption – Alcohol poisoning, forced eating until vomiting
✅ Psychological torture – Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation
✅ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
✅ Dangerous stunts – Blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure
✅ Servitude – Forced cleaning, driving members, running errands
If any of these happened to your child in Grant County, they may have a case—even if they “agreed” to participate.
🏛️ Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Grant County?
Hazing doesn’t just involve a few reckless students—institutions enable it. In our $10 million case, we are suing:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local fraternity/sorority chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National fraternity/sorority organization | Failed to supervise, ignored prior incidents |
| University/college | Owned the property, failed to prevent hazing |
| Individual members | Participated in or facilitated hazing |
| Alumni & housing corporations | Allowed hazing at their homes or properties |
In Grant County, the same entities can be sued if they allowed hazing to happen.
