🔍 What Is Hazing — And Why It’s Illegal in Texas

Hazing isn’t “tradition.” It isn’t “brotherhood.” It’s abuse — and it’s against the law.

Under Texas Education Code § 37.151, hazing includes any activity that:

• Endangers mental or physical health
• Involves physical brutality (beatings, paddling, waterboarding)
• Forces excessive exercise or sleep deprivation
• Requires forced consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs
• Subjects students to unreasonable risk of harm

And Texas law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter. Hazing is illegal — period.

💔 Real Hazing. Real Injuries. Real Consequences.

Our Current Case: The $10 Million Fight for a Hazing Victim

In November 2025, we filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a student was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting — then made to keep running
• Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure

This didn’t happen in some distant state. It happened in Texas. The same fraternities operate at universities near Nueces County. The same risks exist here.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Nueces County?

When hazing happens, everyone involved can be held accountable — including:

In our current case, we’re suing:

• Pi Kappa Phi National
• The local UH chapter
• The university
• The housing corporation
• Individual members (including the president and pledgemaster)

Nueces County families can pursue the same accountability.

💰 What Can Nueces County Hazing Victims Recover?

Hazing victims in Nueces County may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages

• Medical bills (ER, hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
• Lost wages (time missed from work or internships)
• Educational costs (tuition, fees, scholarships lost)
• Future medical expenses (dialysis, transplant, long-term care)

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• PTSD, anxiety, depression (therapy and mental health treatment)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on college experience)
• Humiliation and shame (from degrading hazing rituals)

Punitive Damages

• To punish egregious conduct (like waterboarding, forced drinking, extreme physical abuse)

• $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (Phi Delta Theta, LSU)
• $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Beta Theta Pi, Penn State)

Our $10 million demand is in line with these verdicts — and Nueces County families can pursue the same justice.

• Consent is NOT a defense — even if your child “agreed” to participate
• Universities must report hazing — failure to report is a misdemeanor

🚫 Why Universities and Fraternities Try to Hide Hazing

When hazing is exposed, institutions panic. They’ll try to:

• Minimize the incident (“It was just a prank”)
• Blame the victim (“They consented”)
• Destroy evidence (delete texts, erase security footage)
• Offer quick settlements (to make the problem go away)

Don’t let them silence you.

Universities and fraternities have teams of lawyers working to protect themselves — not your child. You need your own legal team to fight back.
