🚨 What Floyd County Parents Need to Know About Hazing
Hazing Happens at Floyd County-Area Universities
Floyd County is home to West Texas A&M University in Canyon, TX, and is near major universities where Greek life thrives, including:
- Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX)
- Angelo State University (San Angelo, TX)
- Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, TX)
The same national fraternities involved in hazing deaths and lawsuits nationwide—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Beta Theta Pi—have active chapters at these schools.
Hazing is Illegal in Texas
Under Texas Education Code § 37.151, hazing includes:
✅ Physical brutality (paddling, beating, forced exercise)
✅ Sleep deprivation
✅ Forced consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs
✅ Exposure to extreme weather
✅ Psychological abuse
And Texas law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the fraternity and university are still liable.
Universities Are Liable When They Fail to Protect Students
If your child was hazed at a Floyd County-area university, the school may be legally responsible for:
- Failing to supervise Greek life
- Ignoring prior hazing complaints
- Allowing dangerous “traditions” to continue
- Failing to enforce anti-hazing policies
Our lawsuit against the University of Houston proves this—UH owned the fraternity house where the hazing occurred.
💔 What Hazing Does to Students
Physical Injuries
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown from forced exercise)
- Acute kidney failure (requires hospitalization)
- Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
- Broken bones, burns, internal injuries
- Death
Psychological Trauma
- PTSD, anxiety, depression
- Fear of retribution (many victims don’t report)
- Academic decline
- Social withdrawal
- Suicidal thoughts
Financial Consequences
- Medical bills (ER visits, hospital stays, therapy)
- Lost wages (time missed from work)
- Tuition costs (if forced to drop out)
- Future earning potential (if injuries cause permanent disability)
📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Floyd County
1️⃣ Seek Medical Attention 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
2️⃣ Preserve All Evidence
- Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any items used
- Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs)
- Get witness names and contact info
- Do NOT delete anything—even if it’s embarrassing
3️⃣ Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone
- They will try to control the narrative
- They will try to minimize the incident
- They will try to get you to sign away your rights
4️⃣ Call Attorney 911 Immediately
- Statute of limitations in Texas: 2 years (you lose your right to sue if you wait)
- Evidence disappears quickly (texts, photos, witness memories fade)
- The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case
