💀 What Hazing Really Looks Like — The Allen County Reality
Hazing isn’t “boys being boys.” It isn’t “building character.” It isn’t “tradition.”
It is:
- Waterboarding — simulated drowning with a hose
- Forced drinking — alcohol poisoning, blackouts, death
- Extreme exercise — 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until muscles break down
- Physical beatings — wooden paddles, fists, objects
- Forced eating — milk, hot dogs, peppercorns until vomiting
- Sleep deprivation — forced late-night activities, early-morning driving
- Psychological torture — humiliation, threats, isolation
- Sexual abuse — forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
This is happening to Allen County students right now.

📜 Allen County Families: You Have Legal Rights
Texas Hazing Law Protects Your Child — No Matter Where the Hazing Happened
Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157 makes hazing illegal. It doesn’t matter if your child “consented.” It doesn’t matter if it’s “tradition.” Consent is not a defense.
Hazing is a crime in Texas with penalties up to 2 years in jail.
But criminal charges aren’t enough. Your child deserves compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Punitive damages (to punish the organization)
And the organizations that allowed this must be held accountable.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Allen County Hazing?
When your child is hazed, multiple parties are responsible:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise, knew about hazing culture |
| University | Failed to protect students, owned property where hazing occurred |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing |
| Alumni | Hosted hazing at their homes |
| Insurance Companies | Covered the organizations’ liability |
We sue them all.
💰 What Is Your Allen County Hazing Case Worth?
Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts:
| Case | Fraternity | University | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Pi Kappa Alpha | Bowling Green State | $10.1 million |
| Max Gruver | Phi Delta Theta | LSU | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Beta Theta Pi | Penn State | $110+ million |
| Andrew Coffey | Pi Kappa Phi | Florida State | Confidential settlement |
| Leonel Bermudez | Pi Kappa Phi | University of Houston | $10 million lawsuit pending |
Allen County families deserve the same compensation.
