π₯ What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Big Horn County
The Same Hazing. The Same Fraternities. The Same Negligence.
This fall, Leonel Bermudez β a young man excited to join a fraternity at the University of Houston β was subjected to weeks of systematic abuse that hospitalized him with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure.
What they did to him:
- Waterboarded him with a garden hose β simulated drowning
- Forced him to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
- Struck him with wooden paddles
- Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him run through his own vomit
- Another pledge lost consciousness during hazing β they kept going
The result: Leonel spent 3 nights and 4 days in the hospital fighting for his life.
The outrage: This wasn’t the first time. Andrew Coffey died at a Pi Kappa Phi event in 2017 β same fraternity. A student was hospitalized at UH in 2017 β same university. Eight years later, nothing changed.
Big Horn County families: The same fraternities that operate at universities near Big Horn County have the same hazing cultures. The same negligence exists at Big Horn County institutions. Your child could be next.
