This Is Happening in Bastrop County Too

If your child was hazed at a Bastrop County-area university, we will fight for you with the same fury we’re bringing to Houston.
🚨 What Is Hazing? It’s Not “Tradition.” It’s Abuse.
Hazing is not harmless pranks or team-building exercises. It is systematic abuse disguised as initiation. In Bastrop County, hazing includes:
✅ Physical abuse – Forced exercise to exhaustion (500 squats, 100 pushups), beatings with paddles, branding
✅ Waterboarding & simulated drowning – Torture techniques used on pledges
✅ Forced consumption – Drinking until vomiting, eating until choking, alcohol poisoning
✅ Sleep deprivation – Late-night activities, early-morning servitude
✅ Psychological torture – Humiliation, threats of expulsion, isolation
✅ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects, assault
This is not “brotherhood” or “sisterhood.” This is criminal.
💔 Real Cases, Real Victims – The Same Thing Is Happening Near Bastrop County
🔴 Our Current Case: $10 Million Hazing Lawsuit Against Pi Kappa Phi & University of Houston

- Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
- Forced to do 500 squats until he collapsed
- Struck with wooden paddles

🏛️ Who Can Be Sued for Hazing in Bastrop County?
When your child is hazed, multiple parties are liable. We sue everyone responsible:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |

| National fraternity/sorority organization | Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture |

We don’t just sue broke college students—we go after the deep pockets: the universities, the national organizations, and their insurance companies.
