The Hazing Crisis in America – And Why Navassa Island Families Are at Risk
🔥 What Hazing Really Looks Like – Lessons from Our Current Case
In our ongoing $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston, we represent a young man who was:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
- Forced to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
- Struck with wooden paddles
- Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to continue exercising
- Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
This isn’t “tradition.” This isn’t “brotherhood.” This is torture.
And here’s the most disturbing part: This same fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi, had a member die from hazing in 2017. They had eight years to fix their culture – and they did nothing. Now another student has been hospitalized.
🎓 Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines – It Happens Near Navassa Island Too
The same national fraternities that operate at the University of Houston have chapters at universities near Navassa Island. The same culture of abuse exists. The same “traditions” are passed down.
If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Navassa Island, they face the same risks as our client in Houston.
What Qualifies as Hazing? Navassa Island Families Need to Know
Hazing includes any activity that:
✅ Causes physical harm (beating, paddling, forced exercise)
✅ Creates psychological trauma (humiliation, degradation, sleep deprivation)
✅ Forces consumption of alcohol or food to the point of illness
✅ Involves sexual abuse or harassment
✅ Endangers mental or physical health
Important for Navassa Island families: In most states, consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held legally responsible.
Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing Near Navassa Island?
1. The Local Chapter
The fraternity or sorority chapter that directly organized and conducted the hazing activities.
2. The National Organization
The national fraternity or sorority that failed to supervise the local chapter and allowed a culture of hazing to continue.
3. The University
The college or university that:
- Failed to supervise Greek life
- Ignored prior hazing incidents
- Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred
- Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies
4. Individual Members
The chapter officers and members who participated in or facilitated the hazing.
5. Alumni and Housing Corporations
Former members and organizations that provided locations for hazing activities.
In our current case, we’re suing all of these parties – and we’ll pursue every liable entity for Navassa Island families too.
What Damages Can Navassa Island Families Recover?
💰 Economic Damages
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Therapy and counseling costs
- Lost wages
- Educational expenses (tuition, books, etc.)
- Future earning capacity
😢 Non-Economic Damages
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- PTSD, anxiety, depression
- Loss of enjoyment of life

⚖️ Punitive Damages
When conduct is particularly egregious, courts may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoers and deter future misconduct. Waterboarding, forced exercise to collapse, and other extreme hazing activities qualify as egregious conduct.

Frequently Asked Questions for Navassa Island Families
Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to “ruin anyone’s life.” Should we still pursue legal action?
A: Hazing is already ruining lives – including your child’s. Legal action isn’t about revenge; it’s about:
- Getting compensation for medical bills and trauma
- Holding institutions accountable so this doesn’t happen to others
- Sending a message that hazing won’t be tolerated
Many victims feel guilty, but remember: the people who hazed your child made their own choices.
Q: The fraternity says this was “just a prank” and not real hazing. Is it still worth pursuing?
A: Absolutely. Many organizations try to downplay hazing as “just a prank” or “tradition.” But if the activity caused physical or psychological harm, it likely qualifies as hazing under the law.
In our current case, the fraternity waterboarded a student with a garden hose. That’s not a prank – that’s torture.
Q: We’re in Navassa Island. Can you really help us when you’re based in Texas?
A: Yes. We serve hazing victims nationwide, including Navassa Island and other U.S. Outlying Islands. We offer:
- Video consultations
- Phone and email communication
- Travel to Navassa Island for depositions and meetings when needed
- Federal court representation
Distance is not a barrier to justice.
Q: How much will this cost us?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, so we’re motivated to get you the maximum compensation possible.
Q: What if the fraternity or university retaliates against my child?
A: Retaliation is illegal. If anyone tries to intimidate your child or take adverse action against them for reporting hazing, that’s another legal claim we can pursue.
In our current case, our client is “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution.” We take these concerns seriously and will protect your child.
Q: How long will this take?
A: Every case is different. Some settle within months; others may take years if they go to trial. We’ll work as efficiently as possible while ensuring we get you the compensation you deserve.
Q: Can we sue even if criminal charges aren’t filed?
A: Yes. Criminal and civil cases are separate. Even if no criminal charges are filed, you can still pursue a civil lawsuit for damages.
