A Guide to Hazing Laws & Litigation for Bowie, Texas Families

When your child leaves for college from a tight-knit community like Bowie, you trust they’ll be safe, focused on their future at Texas A&M-Commerce or another fine Texas university. The nightmare begins with a phone call in the middle of the night. Your student is in the hospital. The story is confusing—a “team-building” exercise, an “optional” fraternity event that went too far. They’re hurt, scared, and the university’s response feels like a bureaucratic maze designed to protect its reputation, not your child.

This is not a hypothetical fear. Right now, just a few hours from Bowie in Harris County, our firm is fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in Texas. We represent Leonel Bermudez in a $10 million lawsuit against the University of Houston, the Pi Kappa Phi national fraternity, and 13 individual members of its Beta Nu chapter. The lawsuit alleges he was subjected to extreme physical and psychological hazing in Fall 2025, including forced consumption of food until vomiting, hours of brutal calisthenics, being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding,” and carrying a degrading “pledge fanny pack” at all times. The abuse allegedly caused him to develop rhabdomyolysis—a severe muscle breakdown—and acute kidney failure, requiring a four-day hospitalization with ongoing risk of permanent damage. The Pi Kappa Phi chapter was swiftly suspended and then shut down after members voted to surrender their charter.

If this can happen at a major university like UH, it can and does happen across Texas. For parents in Bowie, Montague County, and throughout North Texas, the reality is that the college organizations your children join—fraternities, sororities, Corps of Cadets programs, athletic teams, or spirit groups—can harbor dangerous, hidden cultures of abuse disguised as tradition.

This guide is written specifically for you: Bowie families who need to understand what modern hazing looks like, how Texas law protects your children, what has happened at universities across our state, and the legal pathways to accountability and recovery. We will explain the hard facts, the legal frameworks, and the practical steps to take if your family faces this crisis.

Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like on Texas Campuses

Hazing is no longer just about silly pranks or harmless initiations. For Bowie families, understanding its modern forms is critical to recognizing danger signs in your child’s phone calls home. Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of joining or maintaining membership in a group. Critically, under Texas law, a victim’s “consent” is not a defense.

The Modern Hazing Toolkit

Alcohol and Substance Hazing: This remains the most common and deadliest form. It’s not casual partying; it’s coerced consumption. This includes “lineup” drinking games, “Big/Little” nights where pledges are given handles of liquor, trivia games where wrong answers mandate drinking, and forced consumption of unknown mixed substances or large quantities of food (like the milk and hot dogs allegedly forced on Leonel Bermudez at UH).

Physical Hazing: This extends beyond paddling to include extreme, punitive exercise disguised as “workouts” or “conditioning.” Think hundreds of push-ups or squats until collapse (like the alleged Nov. 3 workout at UH), “bear crawls,” wheelbarrow races, exposure to extreme cold in inadequate clothing, sleep deprivation through all-night “study sessions,” and food/water restriction.

Psychological and Humiliating Hazing: This is designed to break down a person’s dignity and instill absolute obedience. It includes forced nudity or wearing degrading costumes, verbal abuse and “grilling” sessions, social isolation, being assigned a humiliating nickname or identity, and the “pledge fanny pack” rule—being forced to carry condoms, sex toys, or other demeaning items at all times.

Digital Hazing: This is the 21st-century evolution. Pledges are subjected to 24/7 surveillance and control via group chats (GroupMe, WhatsApp), required to share their live location, and given tasks that must be documented on social media. They may be forced to post embarrassing TikToks, participate in online “challenges,” or face harassment and cyberstalking if they don’t comply. Crucial evidence often lives—and is quickly deleted—in these digital spaces.

“Loophole” Tactics Organizations Use: Groups have become sophisticated in evading detection. They frame activities as “optional” (though socially mandatory), move events to off-campus Airbnbs or rural properties, use euphemisms like “bonding” or “tradition,” and coach members on what to say if investigated. They may operate as “underground” chapters after losing official recognition. The core abusive conduct remains the same.

Law & Liability Framework: Texas Statutes and Your Family’s Rights

For a Bowie family navigating a hazing crisis, understanding the legal landscape is empowering. Multiple layers of law apply, from Texas criminal statutes to federal civil rights frameworks.

Texas Hazing Law (Education Code Chapter 37)

Texas has a specific anti-hazing statute designed to protect students. Key provisions every Bowie parent should know:

  • Definition (§37.151): Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, on or off campus, that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or membership.
  • Criminal Penalties (§37.152): Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor. It becomes a Class A misdemeanor if it causes bodily injury and a state jail felony if it causes serious bodily injury or death. Individuals can also be charged for failing to report hazing they knew about.
  • Consent is NOT a Defense (§37.155): This is paramount. Even if your child “went along with it,” the law recognizes that peer pressure and power imbalance negate true consent. It is still a crime and grounds for a civil lawsuit.
  • Organizational Liability (§37.153): The fraternity, sorority, or club itself can be prosecuted and fined up to $10,000 if it authorized or encouraged the hazing.
  • Immunity for Reporting (§37.154): A person who in good faith reports hazing is immune from civil or criminal liability for the report itself. Many universities also have medical amnesty policies to encourage calls to 911 in emergencies.

Civil Liability: The Path to Accountability and Recovery

A criminal case, pursued by the state, aims to punish. A civil lawsuit, which your family can pursue with our help, aims to compensate for harms and hold every responsible party accountable. Potential defendants in a hazing lawsuit include:

  1. Individual Perpetrators: The members who planned, carried out, or covered up the abuse.
  2. The Local Chapter: As a legal entity, it can be sued for creating a dangerous environment.
  3. The National Fraternity/Sorority: Headquarters can be liable for negligent supervision, failure to enforce their own policies, and having prior knowledge of dangerous patterns at other chapters. In the Bermudez case, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters is a named defendant.
  4. The University: Public universities like UH, Texas A&M, and UT have a duty to protect students. They can be liable for negligent supervision, deliberate indifference to known risks, and Title IX violations if the hazing is sex-based. Their deep-pocketed insurers often become primary targets for recovery.
  5. Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, owners of retreat venues, and even alcohol providers under dram shop laws.

Federal Overlays: Title IX and the Stop Campus Hazing Act

  • Title IX: If hazing involves sexual harassment, assault, or gender-based hostility, the university has specific, mandatory obligations to investigate and address it under federal law.
  • Clery Act: Requires universities to report certain crimes, including aggravated assault and hazing incidents that meet crime definitions.
  • Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): This new federal law requires colleges receiving federal aid to publish more transparent hazing data online and strengthen prevention programs, with full implementation by 2026.

National Hazing Case Patterns: The Script Texas Chapters Follow

The tragic cases that make national headlines are not anomalies; they are a predictable script. The same patterns of forced drinking, humiliation, cover-ups, and institutional failure repeat from campus to campus. For Bowie families, these cases establish critical legal precedents about foreseeability and accountability.

The Alcohol Poisoning Death Pattern

  • Timothy Piazza (Penn State, Beta Theta Pi, 2017): A bid-acceptance night of extreme drinking led to fatal falls. Brothers delayed calling 911 for hours, captured on chapter house cameras. The case led to massive criminal charges and Pennsylvania’ Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law.’
  • Max Gruver (LSU, Phi Delta Theta, 2017): Died after a “Bible study” drinking game where incorrect answers mandated drinking. His death spurred Louisiana’s ‘Max Gruver Act,’ making hazing a felony.
  • Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha, 2021): Forced to drink a bottle of alcohol during a “Big/Little” event. His family reached a $10 million settlement ($7M from Pike national, ~$3M from BGSU).
  • Andrew Coffey (Florida State, Pi Kappa Phi, 2017): Died of alcohol poisoning after a “Big Brother” night. This is the same national fraternity involved in the active UH case we are litigating.

The Physical & Ritualized Violence Pattern

  • Chun “Michael” Deng (Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi, 2013): Died from traumatic brain injury after a blindfolded, violent “glass ceiling” ritual at a fraternity retreat. The national fraternity was criminally convicted of assault and manslaughter—a landmark for organizational liability.
  • Danny Santulli (Univ. of Missouri, Phi Gamma Delta, 2021): Suffered permanent, catastrophic brain damage from forced drinking. His family reached multi-million-dollar settlements with 22 defendants, highlighting the long-term care costs of non-fatal hazing.

What These Cases Mean for Bowie Families

These national tragedies prove that hazing deaths and severe injuries are foreseeable. When a Texas chapter replays the same “Big/Little” drinking script or dangerous ritual, the national headquarters cannot claim ignorance. These patterns form the backbone of a negligence lawsuit, showing that the organization failed to learn from its own bloody history. The multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts (like the $12.6 million award in the Chad Meredith Kappa Sigma case) also demonstrate what is at stake financially for institutions that fail to protect students.

Texas Focus: Where Bowie Families Send Their Kids

Bowie parents often see their children head to universities across the state, from the bustling flagship campuses to regional schools closer to home. Understanding the specific landscape, policies, and histories at these institutions is crucial.

For Bowie Families: The Local and Regional Campus Picture

Many students from Montague County attend excellent institutions within driving distance. These campuses have Greek life and student organizations where hazing risks exist:

  • Texas A&M University-Commerce (Hunt County): Just over an hour from Bowie, this campus has active fraternity and sorority life. Civil hazing cases would typically fall under Hunt County jurisdiction.
  • Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls): Also within reasonable distance, MSU has Greek chapters and its own hazing prevention policies.
  • University of North Texas (Denton) & Texas Woman’s University: A slightly longer drive to the DFW metroplex, these are major destinations with large Greek systems.

Bowie families also commonly send students to the major flagship universities, where Greek life is often most entrenched and traditions run deep.

University of Houston (UH)

Snapshot: A large, diverse urban campus with a significant Greek system spanning IFC fraternities, Panhellenic sororities, and NPHC (Divine Nine) organizations.
Recent Major Case: This is the home of our flagship case, Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi. The allegations showcase extreme physical hazing leading to rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. According to the Click2Houston report, hazing occurred at the chapter house, a Culmore Drive residence, and Yellowstone Boulevard Park. UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing” and the chapter is now closed.
UH’s Policy & Response: UH prohibits hazing on and off campus. Reporting goes through the Dean of Students and UHPD. This active litigation demonstrates that even after a chapter is suspended, the pursuit of full accountability through the courts is often necessary.

Texas A&M University (College Station)

Snapshot: Home to a massive Greek system and the storied Corps of Cadets, where tradition and hierarchy can sometimes cross into abuse.
Notable Incidents:

  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged they were covered in a mixture including industrial-strength cleaner, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries. The chapter was suspended and a $1 million lawsuit was filed.
  • Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Lawsuit (2023): A cadet alleged degrading hazing, including being bound between beds in a simulated sexual position with an apple in his mouth. He sought over $1 million in damages.
    For Bowie Parents: The combination of powerful Greek culture and the Corps means vigilance is key. Texas A&M’s size and institutional pride can sometimes complicate internal reporting; experienced external legal counsel is often vital.

University of Texas at Austin (UT)

Snapshot: A flagship campus with a highly transparent public hazing log, yet still with recurring violations.
Public Transparency: UT maintains an online “Hazing Violations” page listing organizations, conduct, and sanctions. This public record is a powerful tool for families and attorneys to establish pattern evidence.
Sample Violations from UT’s Log:

  • Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics. Sanction: Probation and mandatory hazing prevention education.
  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Assault Case (2024): An Australian exchange student allegedly assaulted at a party, suffering a dislocated leg, broken nose, and fractures. He sued the chapter for over $1 million.
    Takeaway: UT’s transparency is commendable, but the repeated violations show hazing persists. A public log entry can be the starting point for proving a university’s prior knowledge of a dangerous organization.

Southern Methodist University (SMU) & Baylor University

  • SMU: A private university with a affluent student body and strong Greek presence. Past incidents include the Kappa Alpha Order chapter suspension (2017) for paddling, forced drinking, and sleep deprivation.
  • Baylor: A private Baptist university. Beyond Greek life, Baylor’s baseball team faced a hazing scandal in 2020 resulting in 14 player suspensions. Baylor’s history with institutional response to campus crises underscores the need for independent legal advocacy.

The Greek Ecosystem: National Histories Meet Texas Chapters

The fraternities and sororities on Texas campuses are almost all chapters of national organizations. This is a double-edged sword: nationals have risk management policies, but they also have long, documented histories of the exact same hazing behaviors now alleged in Texas. For our Bowie clients, we use our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine to map this ecosystem and establish liability.

Public Records: Fraternities, Sororities & Greek Organizations Serving Bowie Families

Our firm maintains a proprietary database built from IRS filings, university rosters, and commercial data to track the legal entities behind Greek life. This is not speculation—it’s public records. For example, the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at UH is tied to specific legal entities we identified in our suit. Below is a sample of the kind of organizational data we track across Texas, relevant to families whose children may be at any of these campuses:

Sample Texas Greek Organization Entities (from IRS B83 Filings):

  • Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity, EIN 746064445, Nederland, TX 77627 (Alumni/house corp. for Epsilon Kappa Chapter)
  • Beta Nu Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Housing Corporation Inc, EIN 462267515, Frisco, TX 75035 (Entity connected to the UH chapter in our lawsuit)
  • Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation Inc, EIN 741380362, Fort Worth, TX 76147
  • Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, EIN 521278573, Dallas, TX 75241 (Lambda Lambda Chapter)
  • Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, EIN 364091267, Waco, TX 76710 (Xi Chi Chapter)
  • Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity Inc, EIN 475370943, Houston, TX 77204 (Theta Delta Chapter)
  • Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, EIN 900293166, College Station, TX 77843 (Texas A&M Chapter)

Metro-Level Density: According to our Cause IQ data analysis, the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro has over 510 Greek-related organizations. The Houston metro has over 180. This vast network includes undergraduate chapters, alumni associations, housing corporations, and educational foundations—all potential sources of liability and insurance coverage in a lawsuit.

Why National Histories Are Your Legal Weapon

When a chapter at UT, A&M, or UH engages in forced drinking, the national headquarters cannot plead ignorance if their other chapters have killed students the same way. We use national incident databases to prove foreseeability. For example:

  • Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): National pattern of “Big/Little” alcohol deaths (Stone Foltz).
  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): Multiple chapters nationwide involved in deaths, traumatic brain injury lawsuits, and the chemical burns case at Texas A&M.
  • Pi Kappa Phi: The national involved in Andrew Coffey’s death at FSU and now our Bermudez case at UH.
  • Phi Delta Theta: National pattern including Max Gruver’s death at LSU.

This pattern evidence is crucial for defeating defenses like “this was a rogue chapter” or “we didn’t know this could happen.” The nationals did know—or should have known.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Damages, and Attorney911’s Approach

If your Bowie family is facing this nightmare, you need to know how a serious law firm builds a case for maximum accountability. It is a methodical, evidence-driven process.

The Evidence That Wins Cases

  1. Digital Forensics: The #1 source of evidence. We secure and analyze group chats (GroupMe, WhatsApp), text messages, social media DMs, and emails. We work with experts to recover deleted messages. These chats show planning, boasting, threats, and cover-up attempts.
  2. Photographic/Video Evidence: Photos of injuries, videos of events shared on Snapchat or Instagram, security footage from houses or nearby businesses.
  3. Medical Records: Documentation is non-negotiable. ER records, hospitalization notes, lab results (like the critical creatine kinase levels showing rhabdomyolysis), and follow-up care from specialists. Psychological evaluations for PTSD, depression, and anxiety are equally vital.
  4. Organizational Documents: Obtained through litigation discovery, these can include internal chapter “pledge manuals,” emails between actives, communications with national headquarters, and prior disciplinary records from the university.
  5. Witness Testimony: Other pledges, former members, roommates, and bystanders. Often, once one victim comes forward, others find the courage to speak.

The Damages Families Can Recover

A civil lawsuit seeks to make the victim and family whole and punish egregious conduct. Recoverable damages include:

  • Economic Damages: All past and future medical expenses, lost wages, costs of psychological care, and diminished future earning capacity if injuries are permanent.
  • Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for physical pain, emotional suffering, trauma, humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Wrongful Death Damages (if applicable): Funeral costs, loss of financial support, and the profound loss of companionship, love, and guidance for parents and siblings.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of particularly reckless or malicious conduct, courts can award damages to punish the defendant and deter future behavior.

Practical Guides & FAQs for Bowie Parents and Students

A Parent’s Action Plan

Warning Signs:

  • Unexplained injuries, bruises, or burns.
  • Extreme fatigue, sleep deprivation, drastic weight change.
  • Personality shifts: increased anxiety, withdrawal, secrecy.
  • Constant, anxious phone use related to group chats.
  • Sudden academic decline or talk of quitting an organization.

What to Do Immediately:

  1. Prioritize Health: Get medical/psychological care. Tell providers the injuries are from hazing.
  2. Preserve Evidence: Help your child screenshot ALL group chats and texts. Photograph injuries. Save any physical items (like torn clothing). Do not let them delete anything. Watch our video on using your phone to document evidence.
  3. Document: Write down everything your child tells you—names, dates, locations, descriptions.
  4. Seek Legal Counsel Before Reporting: Contact us at 1-888-ATTY-911. We can guide you on how to report to the university or police in a way that protects your child’s rights and preserves evidence.
  5. Avoid Common Pitfalls: Do not confront the organization. Do not sign any university-offered resolution agreement without an attorney. Do not post details on social media.

Critical Mistakes That Can Ruin a Case

  • Deleting Digital Evidence: This is the #1 mistake. It looks like a cover-up and destroys your best proof.
  • Waiting for the University to “Handle It”: Internal processes are often designed to limit institutional liability, not deliver justice. Evidence disappears, witnesses scatter, and statutes of limitations run.
  • Giving a Statement to Insurance Adjusters: They are not on your side. Anything you say will be used to minimize the claim.
  • Letting Your Child Attend “One Last Meeting”: This is often a pressure tactic to get them to recant or sign something.

Frequently Asked Questions for Bowie Families

“My child ‘agreed’ to participate. Do we have a case?”
Yes. Texas Education Code §37.155 explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. The law recognizes the power imbalance and coercion inherent in these situations.

“The hazing happened off-campus at a rented house. Does that matter?”
No. Texas law applies to hazing on or off campus. Universities and national organizations can still be liable based on their sponsorship, supervision, and knowledge of the activities.

“How long do we have to file a lawsuit?”
In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury is generally two years from the date of injury. However, complexities like the “discovery rule” or a victim’s age can affect this. Do not wait. Evidence erodes quickly. Learn more in our video on Texas statutes of limitations.

“Will this bankrupt our family? How do you get paid?”
We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means you pay no upfront fees. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery we secure for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay attorney’s fees. Watch our explanation of how contingency fees work.

“We’re afraid of retaliation against our child.”
Retaliation is illegal. We can help document threats and seek protective orders or injunctions. A strong, public lawsuit often deters retaliation more than silence does.
