🛡️ Hazing Victims in Millard County, Utah: Your Legal Rights and Path to Justice

If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization in Millard County, you are not alone. Attorney 911 is fighting this battle right now—and we will fight for Millard County families too.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Millard County: What Families Need to Know

Hazing isn’t just “tradition” or “harmless fun”—it’s abuse, assault, and sometimes torture. In November 2025, our firm filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme hazing. The fraternity waterboarded him with a garden hose, forced him to do 500 squats until he collapsed, and beat him with wooden paddles.

This same hazing happens at institutions near Millard County.
The same national fraternities operate in Utah. The same universities fail to protect students. And the same culture of silence allows abuse to continue.

If your child has been hazed in Millard County, we can help.

⚠️ What Counts as Hazing in Utah?

Utah has strong anti-hazing laws (Utah Code § 76-5-107.5), and hazing includes:

Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion (like 500 squats)
Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or non-food items (eating until vomiting)
Psychological torture – Waterboarding, humiliation, threats of expulsion
Sleep deprivation – Late-night activities, forced driving for members
Sexual humiliation – Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects
Dangerous stunts – Blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure

You do NOT have to prove your child “consented.” Utah law says consent is NOT a defense—even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable.

🏥 Medical Consequences of Hazing: What Millard County Parents Should Watch For

Hazing can cause life-threatening injuries, including:

🔴 Rhabdomyolysis – Muscle breakdown from extreme exercise (our client spent 4 days in the hospital with kidney failure)
🔴 Alcohol poisoning – Forced drinking can be fatal
🔴 Traumatic brain injury – From beatings or falls
🔴 Hypothermia/hyperthermia – From exposure to extreme temperatures
🔴 PTSD, anxiety, depression – Long-term psychological damage

If your child shows these symptoms after hazing, seek medical attention IMMEDIATELY:

  • Severe muscle pain or weakness
  • Dark/brown urine (sign of muscle breakdown)
  • Difficulty walking or moving
  • Vomiting, confusion, or loss of consciousness
  • Extreme fatigue or inability to stay awake

⚖️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Millard County?

We sue everyone responsible—not just the individuals who did it, but the institutions that allowed it:

Defendant Why They’re Liable
Local chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing
National organization Failed to supervise despite knowing about prior hazing deaths
University/college Owns or controls property where hazing occurred; failed to protect students
Individual members Participated in or facilitated hazing
Alumni/hosts Allowed hazing at their homes
Insurance companies Provide coverage for institutional liability

In our current case, we’re suing:

  • Pi Kappa Phi National
  • The local chapter
  • The University of Houston (which owned the fraternity house)
  • Individual members, including the chapter president and pledgemaster

Millard County families get the same aggressive representation.

💰 What Compensation Can Millard County Families Recover?

Hazing cases can result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. In recent cases:

Case Fraternity Injury Outcome
Stone Foltz (2021) Pi Kappa Alpha Death from forced drinking $10.1 million settlement
Maxwell Gruver (2017) Phi Delta Theta Death from alcohol poisoning $6.1 million jury verdict
Timothy Piazza (2017) Beta Theta Pi Traumatic brain injury $110+ million settlement
Our current case Pi Kappa Phi Kidney failure from forced exercise $10 million lawsuit pending

Compensation may include:

  • Medical bills (past and future)
  • Lost wages (if your child missed work or school)
  • Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
  • Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)

📋 What Should Millard County Families Do RIGHT NOW?

1. Get Medical Help

  • If your child was hazed, take them to a doctor immediately—even if they seem “fine.”
  • Symptoms like muscle pain, dark urine, or difficulty walking can indicate rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), which can be life-threatening.

2. Preserve Evidence

  • Take photos of injuries, hazing locations, and any items used (paddles, alcohol bottles, etc.).
  • Save all communications (texts, GroupMe messages, social media posts).
  • Get witness names (other pledges, bystanders).
  • Do NOT delete anything—even if it’s embarrassing.

3. Do NOT Talk to the Organization

  • The fraternity/sorority will try to control the narrative.
  • They may ask your child to sign documents or give a statement.
  • Do NOT let them intimidate you.
  • Do NOT post about the incident on social media.
