🚨 Hazing in Rusk County: A Silent Crisis

Rusk County families trust local universities and Greek organizations to protect their children. But behind the scenes, a dangerous culture of abuse persists—one that has sent students to hospitals, left permanent scars, and even claimed lives.

At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this crisis head-on. We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his kidneys failed, and hospitalized for four days. This isn’t just happening in Houston—it’s happening near Rusk County too.

If your child has been hazed at a Rusk County university, fraternity, or sorority, you have rights. We will fight for justice, accountability, and compensation—no matter where in Texas the abuse occurred.

🔥 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Texas)

Hazing isn’t just “harmless tradition.” Under Texas law (Education Code § 37.151), hazing includes any activity that:

✅ Endangers physical or mental health (e.g., forced exercise to exhaustion, sleep deprivation)
✅ Involves physical brutality (e.g., beatings, paddling, waterboarding)
✅ Forces consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs (e.g., binge drinking, forced eating until vomiting)
✅ Creates extreme humiliation or psychological abuse (e.g., carrying sexual objects, being hog-tied)
✅ Threatens expulsion or social ostracism for non-compliance

Texas law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law still holds abusers accountable.

🏥 The Medical Consequences of Hazing

Hazing isn’t just embarrassing—it can be life-threatening. Common injuries include:

🩸 Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) – Our current client suffered this after forced exercise
🍺 Alcohol poisoning (can be fatal)
🧠 Traumatic brain injury (from beatings or falls)
🥵 Heatstroke or hypothermia (from extreme exposure)
💔 Cardiac arrest (from excessive physical exertion)
😔 PTSD, anxiety, and depression (long-term psychological trauma)

If your child was hospitalized, forced to drop out, or suffered long-term harm, you may be entitled to compensation.

💰 Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Rusk County?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties can be held legally and financially responsible:

We sue EVERYONE responsible—so your child gets full justice.

⚖️ Texas Hazing Laws: What Rusk County Families Need to Know

1. Hazing Is a Crime in Texas

• Class B Misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail, $2,000 fine)
• Class A Misdemeanor if it causes serious bodily injury (up to 1 year in jail, $4,000 fine)
• State Jail Felony if it causes death (180 days–2 years in jail, $10,000 fine)

UH’s own spokesperson acknowledged that criminal charges are possible in our case.

2. Consent Is NOT a Defense

Texas law (§ 37.154) explicitly states:

“It is not a defense to prosecution that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”

No matter what the fraternity says, your child’s “consent” does not excuse abuse.

3. Organizations Can Be Penalized

• Fines up to $10,000
• Loss of university recognition
• Forfeiture of property

Pi Kappa Phi’s UH chapter was permanently closed—but they’re already planning to return. We won’t let them.
