π‘οΈ Campbell County Hazing Victims: Your Legal Rights & How We Can Help
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization in Campbell County, Wyoming β we can fight for you.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently representing a student who was hospitalized with kidney failure after being waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles during a fraternity hazing ritual. This isn’t just “tradition” β it’s torture, and we’re holding the institutions accountable.
Campbell County families: The same fraternities and universities that allowed this in Texas operate right here in Wyoming. If your child was hazed at Gillette College, the University of Wyoming, or any other institution near Campbell County, we can help you seek justice β no matter where you are.
π¨ What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Wyoming)
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “girls bonding.” It’s abuse, and Wyoming law takes it seriously.
Under Wyoming law (W.S. Β§ 21-16-1301), hazing includes:
β Physical brutality β beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
β Forced consumption β alcohol, food, or other substances until vomiting
β Psychological abuse β humiliation, sleep deprivation, threats
β Dangerous activities β waterboarding, extreme weather exposure, confinement
Wyoming law is clear: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held liable.
π What Hazing Looks Like in Campbell County
Hazing doesnβt just happen in big states like Texas or Florida β it happens right here in Wyoming, including near Campbell County. Some real examples of hazing we’ve seen (and are fighting against):
| Type of Hazing | What It Looks Like | Why It’s Dangerous |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Abuse | Forced push-ups, squats, or “calisthenics” until collapse | Can cause rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure) |
| Waterboarding | Simulated drowning with water or hoses | Torture β can lead to panic attacks, PTSD, or death |
| Forced Drinking | “Drink this whole bottle” or “chug until you pass out” | Alcohol poisoning β can be fatal |
| Extreme Weather Exposure | Forced to stand outside in freezing temperatures with minimal clothing | Hypothermia or frostbite |
| Sleep Deprivation | Forced to stay up all night for “pledge activities” | Impairs judgment, increases risk of accidents |
| Forced Eating | Eating until vomiting, then forced to continue | Choking hazard, stomach ruptures, or food poisoning |
| Beatings | Struck with paddles, belts, or fists | Broken bones, internal bleeding, concussions |
| Psychological Torture | “Lineups” where pledges are screamed at or humiliated | PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts |
This isnβt “tradition.” Itβs abuse β and itβs illegal.
ποΈ Who Can Be Held Liable in Campbell County Hazing Cases?
When your child is hazed, multiple parties can be held accountable, including:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable | Campbell County Example |
|---|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and participated in hazing | Pi Kappa Alpha at University of Wyoming; Sigma Chi at Gillette College |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise chapters; knew about hazing culture | Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, etc. |
| University/College | Failed to protect students; owned/controlled property | University of Wyoming, Gillette College, WyoTech |
| Housing Corporation | Owned fraternity/sorority house where hazing occurred | Fraternity or sorority housing near Campbell County |
| Individual Members | Participated in or facilitated hazing | Chapter president, pledgemaster, active members |
| Alumni/Advisors | Allowed hazing at their homes or businesses | Former members hosting “pledge events” off-campus |
We sue ALL responsible parties β not just the individuals, but the institutions that enabled them.
