❓ What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Wyoming)
Hazing isn’t “tradition.” It isn’t “team building.” It isn’t “brotherhood.” It’s abuse.
In Wyoming, hazing is defined as any activity that:
- Endangers the mental or physical health of a student
- Is used for initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership
- Includes physical brutality, forced consumption, sleep deprivation, or humiliation
Wyoming Statute § 21-17-115 makes hazing a misdemeanor, punishable by fines and jail time. Consent is not a defense — even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable.
🏥 What Hazing Does to Platte County Students
Hazing doesn’t just cause bruises. It causes lifelong damage:
| Injury Type | Examples from Real Cases | What It Means for Platte County Victims |
|---|---|---|
| Physical | Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, broken bones, burns | Hospitalization, long-term health issues, permanent disability |
| Psychological | PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts | Years of therapy, inability to return to school, career disruption |
| Academic | Dropped classes, failed courses, lost scholarships | Financial burden, delayed graduation, limited career opportunities |
| Financial | Medical bills, lost wages, future earning potential | Thousands in unexpected expenses |
In our current case, a student was hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats. This could happen to your Platte County child.
🏛️ Who Is Responsible for Hazing in Platte County?

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Platte County Families
Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to report it. What should we do?
A: We understand the fear of retribution. In our current case, our client was “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution.” We can protect your child’s identity and build the case without immediate public disclosure. Call us to discuss your options.
Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Can they still be held liable?
A: Yes. Wyoming law specifically states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be held liable for the harm caused.
Q: We’re not in Texas. Can Attorney 911 still help our Platte County family?
A: Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including Platte County, Wyoming. Our federal court authority and dual-state bar licenses allow us to pursue cases anywhere in America.
Q: What if the hazing didn’t cause physical injuries?
A: Psychological trauma is just as real. PTSD, anxiety, depression, and academic disruption are all compensable. In our current case, we’re pursuing damages for both physical and psychological harm.
Q: How much will this cost our Platte County family?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, so there’s no financial risk to your family.
Q: What if the university says they didn’t know about the hazing?
A: Universities have a duty to protect students. If they failed to implement proper oversight, they can be held liable. In our current case, University of Houston owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred — they cannot claim ignorance.
Q: Can individual fraternity members be held personally liable?
A: Yes. In the Stone Foltz case, the chapter president was ordered to pay $6.5 million personally. We pursue both organizational and individual defendants.
Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?
A: Hazing is illegal whether it occurs on or off campus. In our current case, some hazing occurred at a former member’s private residence — we’re suing the property owners for premises liability.
Q: How long will this take for our Platte County family?
A: Every case is different. Some settle within months; others take years. We work to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while maximizing your recovery.
