Georgetown County Families: Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines – We Will Fight for Your Child

Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities—it happens right here in Georgetown County, South Carolina, and at colleges across the country. If your child has been a victim of fraternity hazing, sorority abuse, or any form of dangerous initiation rituals, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that institutions will be held accountable for the harm they allow.

We serve Georgetown County families nationwide, ensuring that no matter where the hazing occurred, justice will be served.
