Hazing Lawyers for Bethel Census Area Families – Justice for Victims of Fraternity & Sorority Abuse

When your child is hazed at a Bethel Census Area college or university, it’s not “tradition.” It’s abuse. And it’s illegal.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a young man was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme hazing—including waterboarding, forced eating until vomiting, and being struck with wooden paddles. This isn’t just happening in Houston. It’s happening at universities near Bethel Census Area, too.

If your child has been hazed in Bethel Census Area—whether in a fraternity, sorority, sports team, marching band, or other student organization—you have legal rights. We can help.

📞 Call now for a free, confidential consultation: 1-888-ATTY-911

Why Bethel Census Area Families Choose Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

1. We’re Fighting This Battle Right Now – And Winning

We are actively litigating a $10 million hazing case against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client, Leonel Bermudez, was subjected to weeks of torture disguised as “pledging”, including:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to lie in his own vomit
• Hog-tying another pledge with an object in his mouth for over an hour

Result: He was hospitalized for four days with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure. The chapter was shut down immediately—but we’re holding the national organization, the university, and every individual responsible accountable in court.

The same fraternities and sororities operate near Bethel Census Area. The same negligence exists at Bethel Census Area institutions. We will fight for Bethel Census Area victims with the same aggression.

2. We Know How to Sue the “Deep Pockets”

Hazing cases aren’t just about suing broke college students. We go after the institutions with real money:
✅ National fraternity/sorority organizations (Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others have millions in assets and insurance)
✅ Universities and colleges near Bethel Census Area (they have endowments, insurance, and legal teams—they can pay)
✅ Individual chapter officers and members (we hold them personally liable, just like we’re doing in the $10M UH case)

We don’t just sue the chapter. We sue everyone who let this happen.

3. We’re Former Insurance Defense Lawyers – We Know Their Playbook

Both of our attorneys—Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña—used to work for insurance companies and national defense firms. We know exactly how they try to:

• Minimize your child’s injuries
• Blame the victim (“They consented to it”)
• Delay and deny until you give up

We’ve seen their tactics from the inside. Now we use that knowledge to destroy their defenses.

4. We Travel to Bethel Census Area for Your Case

While we’re based in Texas (Houston, Austin, Beaumont), we serve hazing victims nationwide, including Bethel Census Area. We offer:

• Free video consultations for Bethel Census Area families
• Willingness to travel to Bethel Census Area for depositions, trials, and client meetings
• Federal court authority – we can pursue Bethel Census Area cases in federal jurisdiction
• Dual-state bar licenses (Texas and New York) – strategic advantage for national fraternity cases

Distance is not a barrier to justice. We will come to you.

5. No Upfront Costs – You Pay Nothing Unless We Win

We work on a contingency fee basis—meaning:

• $0 upfront to hire us
• We don’t get paid unless you get paid
• We take the risk, not you

Bethel Census Area families shouldn’t have to choose between justice and financial ruin. We make it possible to fight back.

What Counts as Hazing in Bethel Census Area?

Hazing isn’t just “roughhousing.” Under Alaska and federal law, hazing includes any activity that endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership.

Common Hazing Activities in Bethel Census Area (That Are Illegal)

If your child was subjected to any of these in Bethel Census Area, they were hazed. And you can sue.

Who Can Be Sued for Hazing in Bethel Census Area?

When hazing happens, multiple parties are legally responsible. We pursue everyone:

We don’t just sue the chapter. We sue the entire system that enabled the abuse.

What Compensation Can Bethel Census Area Families Recover?

Hazing victims and their families can recover millions in damages, including:

Economic Damages (Actual Financial Losses)

• Medical bills (hospital stays, ER visits, therapy, future treatment)
• Lost wages (if your child missed work or internships)
• Educational costs (tuition, fees, lost scholarships if they dropped out)
• Future medical expenses (dialysis, kidney transplant, therapy for PTSD)

Non-Economic Damages (Pain & Suffering)

• Physical pain from injuries (broken bones, burns, rhabdomyolysis)
• Emotional trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression, fear of retaliation)
• Humiliation and shame (from degrading hazing activities)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (inability to participate in normal activities)

Punitive Damages (To Punish the Wrongdoers)

• Awarded when conduct is intentional, reckless, or outrageous
• Meant to send a message so this never happens again
• Our UH case involves waterboarding—a form of torture—and 500 squats until kidney failure. Punitive damages are absolutely appropriate.

Precedent Cases Show Hazing Victims Win Millions:

• $10.1 million – Stone Foltz (Pi Kappa Alpha, Bowling Green State)
• $6.1 million – Maxwell Gruver (Phi Delta Theta, LSU)
• $110+ million – Timothy Piazza (Beta Theta Pi, Penn State)
• $4+ million – Adam Oakes (Delta Chi, VCU)

Bethel Census Area families deserve the same justice.

What Should Bethel Census Area Families Do If Their Child Was Hazed?

✅ Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms right away.
• Document everything. Keep all medical records, bills, and photos of injuries.

✅ Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING. Save:

• Text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, Instagram DMs (screenshots + originals)
• Photos/videos of injuries, hazing activities, or the location where it happened
• Names and contact info of witnesses (other pledges, bystanders)
• Fraternity/sorority documents (pledge manuals, schedules, rules)
• Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes, therapy records)

❌ Step 3: Do NOT Do These Things

• Do NOT talk to the fraternity/sorority or university without a lawyer
• Do NOT sign anything from the organization or insurance company
• Do NOT post on social media about the hazing (defense will use it against you)
• Do NOT confront the chapter or members alone

✅ Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately

• Statute of limitations: You typically have 2 years to file a lawsuit in Alaska.
• Evidence disappears fast. Texts get deleted, witnesses forget, organizations destroy records.
• The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hazing Lawsuits in Bethel Census Area

1. “My child agreed to participate. Can we still sue?”

YES. Under Alaska and federal law, consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says they cannot consent to illegal abuse.

From our UH case:

“It is not a defense to prosecution that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”
— Texas Education Code § 37.154 (similar laws exist in Alaska)

2. “The fraternity already suspended the chapter. Isn’t that enough?”

No. Suspending or closing a chapter is damage control, not justice. It doesn’t:

• Pay for your child’s medical bills
• Compensate for pain and suffering
• Hold the national organization accountable
• Prevent the fraternity from reopening under a new name

In our UH case, Pi Kappa Phi closed the chapter 7 days before we filed the lawsuit. They knew we were coming. They were trying to limit their liability.

3. “We’re in Bethel Census Area. Can you still help us?”

Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including Bethel Census Area. We offer:

• Free video consultations for Bethel Census Area families
• Willingness to travel to Bethel Census Area for depositions and trials
• Federal court authority (we can pursue Bethel Census Area cases in federal jurisdiction)
• Experience with national fraternities (they operate the same way everywhere)

Distance is not a barrier. We will fight for Bethel Census Area families just like we’re fighting in Houston.

4. “What if my child was hazed at a small Bethel Census Area college?”

It doesn’t matter if it’s a big university or a small college. If hazing occurred, the same laws apply. We’ve seen hazing at:

• Large state universities (UH, Texas A&M, UCLA)
• Small private colleges (St. Edward’s, Trinity University)
• Community colleges
• Military academies

If your child was hazed in Bethel Census Area, we can help.

5. “The fraternity says this was ‘just a prank.’ How do we prove it was hazing?”

Hazing is not a prank. It’s a pattern of abuse designed to humiliate, degrade, or endanger. We prove it with:

• Medical records (showing injuries like rhabdomyolysis, broken bones, alcohol poisoning)
• Witness testimony (other pledges, bystanders)
• Text messages and social media (group chats, threats, bragging about hazing)
• Fraternity documents (pledge manuals, schedules, “traditions”)
• Prior incidents (has this chapter been disciplined before?)

In our UH case, we have:
✅ Medical records showing kidney failure from extreme exercise
✅ Testimony about waterboarding and forced eating
✅ Photos/videos (if preserved)
✅ Prior incidents (Andrew Coffey died at Pi Kappa Phi in 2017)

We know how to build a case that proves hazing.

6. “What if my child is afraid of retaliation?”

We understand. Fear of retaliation is real. In our UH case, our client is:

“fearful of doing an interview due to retribution.”
— ABC13 Houston

We protect our clients by:

• Keeping their identity confidential (if needed)
• Filing restraining orders against harassers
• Pursuing claims against individuals (so they face personal consequences)
• Working with law enforcement if threats occur

You don’t have to face this alone.

7. “How much is my Bethel Census Area hazing case worth?”

Every case is different, but hazing cases often settle for millions. Factors that increase value:
✔ Severity of injuries (hospitalization, surgery, permanent damage)
✔ Egregious conduct (waterboarding, forced drinking, paddling)
✔ Pattern of abuse (multiple incidents, prior hazing reports)
✔ University involvement (did they own the property? Did they know?)
✔ National organization negligence (did they fail to supervise?)
✔ Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)

Recent hazing settlements/verdicts:

Bethel Census Area families deserve the same compensation.

8. “What if my child was hazed but didn’t get physically injured?”

You can still sue. Hazing causes serious psychological trauma, including:

• PTSD (from waterboarding, threats, humiliation)
• Anxiety and depression (from ongoing fear and shame)
• Academic decline (dropping out, failing classes)
• Trust issues and social withdrawal (difficulty making friends)

These are real injuries, and they deserve compensation.

9. “The university says they didn’t know. Can we still sue them?”

Yes. Universities have a legal duty to protect students. If they:

• Own the fraternity/sorority house (like UH did)
• Have prior hazing incidents (like UH’s 2017 case)
• Fail to inspect or regulate Greek life
• Ignore complaints or warning signs

They are liable for negligence.

In our UH case:

• The University of Houston owned the Pi Kappa Phi house
• They had a prior hazing hospitalization in 2017 (Pi Kappa Alpha)
• They did nothing to prevent this from happening again

The same negligence exists at Bethel Census Area universities.

10. “How long will a hazing lawsuit take?”

Most hazing cases settle within 1-3 years, but complex cases (like ours) can take longer. The timeline depends on:

• Severity of injuries (more severe = longer treatment = longer case)
• Number of defendants (more parties = more negotiation)
• Willingness to settle (some institutions fight harder than others)
• Criminal investigations (if parallel criminal case is ongoing)

We push for the fastest resolution possible, but we won’t settle for less than you deserve.

Bethel Census Area Universities & Colleges Where Hazing Occurs

Hazing isn’t limited to big schools. It happens at all types of institutions near Bethel Census Area, including:

Universities & Colleges Near Bethel Census Area

(Note: Bethel Census Area is a remote region in Alaska with limited higher education institutions. The nearest universities are in Anchorage and Fairbanks, which serve students from across Alaska, including Bethel Census Area.)

National Fraternities & Sororities with Alaska Chapters

These same organizations operate near Bethel Census Area and have documented hazing histories nationwide:

If your child was hazed by any of these organizations in Bethel Census Area or elsewhere in Alaska, we can help.

How We Win Hazing Cases for Bethel Census Area Families

1. We Prove the Hazing Activities Were Illegal

We gather evidence to show:
✅ Physical brutality (paddling, extreme exercise, waterboarding)
✅ Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
✅ Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, early morning driving)
✅ Psychological abuse (humiliation, threats, isolation)
✅ Pattern of abuse (not a one-time incident)

In our UH case, we’ve documented:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose
• 500 squats and 100 pushups until collapse
• Forced eating until vomiting
• Being struck with wooden paddles
• Another pledge hog-tied for over an hour

2. We Prove the Institutions Knew and Failed to Act

Universities and national organizations can’t claim ignorance. We show:
✅ Prior hazing incidents (like UH’s 2017 case)
✅ Internal reports of hazing risks
✅ Failed oversight (no inspections, no training, no enforcement)
✅ “Hazing crisis” knowledge (like Pi Kappa Phi’s admission)

In our UH case:

• Pi Kappa Phi National admitted they knew about “a hazing crisis” but failed to enforce anti-hazing rules
• University of Houston had a prior hazing hospitalization in 2017 and did nothing
• They both knew. They both failed.

3. We Sue Everyone Responsible

We don’t just sue the chapter. We go after:

• The local chapter (direct perpetrators)
• The national organization (failed to supervise)
• The university (failed to protect students)
• Chapter officers (leadership responsibility)
• Individual members (participated in hazing)
• Alumni/hosts (allowed hazing at their homes)
• Insurance companies (provide coverage for liability)

In our UH case, we’re suing:
✔ Pi Kappa Phi National
✔ Beta Nu Chapter
✔ Beta Nu Housing Corporation
✔ University of Houston
✔ UH Board of Regents
✔ Fraternity president
✔ Pledgemaster
✔ Current and former members
✔ A former member and his spouse

4. We Calculate Full Damages

We work with experts to prove:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and earning capacity
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional)
• Punitive damages (to punish the wrongdoers)

In our UH case, we’re seeking $10 million for:

• 4 days of hospitalization for kidney failure
• Future medical monitoring for chronic kidney disease
• Pain and suffering from waterboarding and physical abuse
• Punitive damages to send a message to all fraternities

5. We Take It to Trial If Necessary

Most hazing cases settle, but we’re prepared to go to trial if the defendants won’t offer fair compensation.

Recent jury verdicts show juries hate hazing:

• $6.1 million – Maxwell Gruver (LSU)
• $6.5 million – Stone Foltz (BGSU) against individual defendant

We’re not afraid to take Bethel Census Area cases to trial.

✅ If Your Child Was Hazed Recently:

1. Get medical attention immediately – Even if injuries seem minor.

3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity/sorority or university alone.
4. Do NOT sign anything.
5. Call Attorney 911 immediately: 1-888-ATTY-911

✅ If Your Child Was Hazed in the Past:

Final Message to Bethel Census Area Parents

Your child went to college to learn, to grow, to make friends—not to be tortured.

When a fraternity or sorority waterboards your child, forces them to do 500 squats until their kidneys fail, or hits them with wooden paddles, that’s not “tradition.” That’s assault. That’s battery. That’s illegal.

And when a university owns the building where it happens and does nothing to stop it, they’re just as responsible.

We are Attorney 911. We are fighting this battle right now in Houston. And we’re ready to fight for Bethel Census Area families.

Enough is enough. Call us. 1-888-ATTY-911
