If you’re reading this in Brantley County, your family may be facing one of the most terrifying moments of your life. Your child was supposed to make friends at college, build a community, and grow into adulthood. Instead, they were tortured. They were abused. They were hazed. We’re here to help families in Brantley County fight back against the fraternities, sororities, and universities that allowed this nightmare to happen.

We understand what you’re going through. The confusion, the anger, the fear for your child’s future – these are powerful emotions that no parent should ever have to experience alone. At Attorney911, we don’t just talk about hazing; we confront it head-on, in court, fighting relentlessly for aggressive representation of hazing victims, data-driven litigation strategy, and accountability for every entity responsible for these horrific injuries. We are currently actively fighting right now in Harris County Civil District Court, taking on a major national fraternity and a large university for a $10 million lawsuit. The same legal firepower we bring to that fight is available to you, right here in Brantley County.

The Haunting Echoes of Hazing: What Happened in Houston Can Happen in Brantley County

Just weeks ago, a nightmare unfolded in Houston, deeply shaking parents and students across our state. Leonel Bermudez, a young man who wasn’t even an enrolled student at the University of Houston yet – a “ghost rush” planning to transfer – accepted a bid to join the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. What followed was a weeks-long campaign of systematic abuse, psychological torture, and extreme physical torment that landed him in the hospital for four days, battling severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure.

Leonel was waterboarded with a garden hose, hog-tied, and forced to eat until he vomited, then made to continue physical exertion in his own vomit-soaked grass. He endured psychological torture, sleep deprivation, and forced physical exertion until his muscles broke down, leading to his kidneys failing. This happened in Texas, at a university many of your children might attend. This is what modern hazing looks like, and it could happen at any institution associated with Brantley County.

Within weeks of this hazing being reported, the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at the University of Houston was suspended. The members voted to surrender their charter, and the chapter was permanently closed. Criminal referrals were initiated. Our firm, Attorney911, filed a $10 million lawsuit, naming not only the University of Houston and the national fraternity, but also the housing corporation and 13 individual fraternity members.

This case, Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, Inc., et al., filed in November 2025, is not just another lawsuit. It is the centerpiece of everything we stand for. It proves that Attorney911 is not theoretical; we are actively fighting right now in Harris County Civil District Court to bring justice to victims like Leonel. This is the firm that fights back, aggressively, thoroughly, and relentlessly. If this level of depravity can occur in a major Texas city like Houston, it can absolutely occur at institutions where students from Brantley County attend college, whether they are in larger Georgia cities, neighboring states, or across the country. We want parents in Brantley County to understand that this nightmare is real, and we are here to help.

What Hazing Really Looks Like: Beyond the “Harmless Pranks”

When parents in Brantley County hear about hazing, they might envision silly freshmen stunts or difficult initiation rituals. But the reality of modern hazing, as tragically demonstrated in the Leonel Bermudez case and countless others across the country, is far more sinister. It is not “boys being boys.” It is not “tradition.” It is not “building brotherhood.”

IT IS:

• Assault and Battery: Direct acts of physical violence, like the wooden paddles used on Leonel or the repeated physical attacks documented in other cases.
• Torture: Methods designed to inflict extreme physical or mental suffering. Waterboarding, as highlighted in the Bermudez case, is explicitly recognized globally as a form of torture.
• Reckless Endangerment: Placing individuals in situations where their physical or mental health is at severe risk, such as forced extreme exercise, binge drinking, or exposure to harsh elements.
• Psychological Warfare: Humiliation, degradation, sleep deprivation, and isolation designed to break down a person’s resolve and self-worth.
• Criminal Behavior: Many hazing acts cross the line into criminal offenses, ranging from misdemeanor assault to felony manslaughter or murder.

The Hazing Activities Exposed in Our Lawsuit Against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston Paint a Chilling Picture:

• Waterboarding / Simulated Drowning: Leonel was sprayed repeatedly in the face with a garden hose while performing calisthenics, simulating a drowning sensation. This is a tactic used in interrogation that is globally condemned as torture.
• Forced Eating Until Vomiting: Pledges were forced to consume massive quantities of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until they vomited, and then made to continue exercising, sometimes lying in their own vomit-soaked grass.
• Extreme Physical Punishment: This included forced exercises like 100+ pushups, 500 squats, high-volume “suicides” (running drills), bear crawls, wheelbarrows, and repeated 100-yard crawls. These activities continued until Leonel was so exhausted he couldn’t stand without help. Another pledge even lost consciousness during a forced workout.
• Psychological Torture & Humiliation: Leonel was forced to carry a fanny pack with objects of a sexual nature at all times. Another pledge was hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour. Threats of physical punishment and expulsion for non-compliance maintained a climate of fear.
• Sleep Deprivation & Exhaustion: Pledges were forced to drive fraternity members during early morning hours, disrupting their sleep and leading to chronic exhaustion.

The medical consequences can be devastating. Leonel’s ordeal led to rhabdomyolysis, a dangerous condition where damaged muscle tissue releases harmful proteins into the bloodstream, and acute kidney failure. He passed brown urine, a classic sign of severe muscle breakdown, and spent four days hospitalized, facing the agonizing potential for permanent kidney damage. This is far from a joke or a “rite of passage.” This is abuse that leaves lasting physical and psychological scars, and in too many instances, ends lives.

Who Is Responsible: Holding Every Liable Party Accountable in Brantley County

When a student from Brantley County is subjected to hazing, the individuals directly involved are rarely the only ones at fault. Our aggressive, data-driven litigation strategy, perfected in the Bermudez case, targets every entity that bears legal responsibility, ensuring maximum accountability and compensation for victims and their families. We understand that behind the collegiate fun and Greek letters, there are complex organizational structures that often enable or turn a blind eye to dangerous activities.

Here’s who can – and should – be held responsible:

• The Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter: This is the most immediate level of responsibility. The chapter directly organized and conducted the hazing activities. Often, specific chapter officers, such as the president, pledgemaster, or risk manager, play central roles in executing or facilitating the hazing. The current and even former members who participate or condone the hazing are also liable. In the Bermudez case, we named the Beta Nu chapter and its specific officers and members.
• The National Fraternity/Sorority Organization: These organizations operate on a national level, overseeing hundreds of chapters, including many that may have members from Brantley County. They have a duty to implement, monitor, and enforce strict anti-hazing policies. When they fail to do so, or when a pattern of hazing emerges across their chapters (as with Pi Kappa Phi’s history), the national organization can be held primarily liable. They are often the ones with substantial insurance policies and assets, making them a “deep pocket” target for substantial damages. Pi Kappa Phi National immediately suspended and dissolved the UH chapter after Leonel’s hospitalization, which, from our perspective, is an admission that they knew the conduct was wrong.
• The University or College: Educational institutions have a fundamental duty to protect their students, especially when hazing occurs on their campus or in facilities they own or control. Universities often have codes of conduct, Greek life oversight, and the power to recognize, regulate, or suspend student organizations. When they fail to prevent hazing, ignore red flags, or have a history of hazing incidents (as the University of Houston did with a prior hospitalization in 2017), they can be held directly responsible for negligent supervision and institutional negligence. In Leonel’s case, the University of Houston actually owned the fraternity house where some hazing occurred, making their liability for premises negligence extremely clear.
• Individual Perpetrators: The student members who actively participate in or orchestrate hazing are individually liable for assault, battery, and other intentional torts. This includes chapter officers, but also any member who knew about the hazing and failed to intervene or report it. In some cases, as with the hog-tying incident noted in the Bermudez lawsuit, even former members or their spouses can be held liable if hazing occurred at their personal residence.
• Insurance Carriers: It isn’t just about targeting individuals or organizations directly. The real financial recovery often comes from the insurance policies held by these various defendants. National fraternities, universities, and even homeowners (for hazing at off-campus residences) typically carry substantial liability insurance. As former insurance defense attorneys, Ralph Manginello and Lupe Pena possess invaluable insider knowledge of how these insurance companies operate, strategize to minimize claims, and ultimately, how to dismantle their defenses to maximize recovery for victims.

This comprehensive approach – targeting every possible defendant – is crucial because it ensures that those who enable, facilitate, and carry out hazing are held fully accountable. It’s not about suing “broke college kids;” it’s about holding powerful institutions and every responsible individual accountable for their actions and inactions.

What These Cases Win: Multi-Million Dollar Proof for Brantley County Families

The question that often comes to mind for families in Brantley County facing the aftermath of hazing is, “Can we really fight these powerful organizations?” The answer is a resounding yes. Landmark verdicts and settlements across the nation prove that hazing cases win, often securing multi-million dollar recoveries that send an unequivocal message: hazing costs dearly.

These aren’t just numbers; they represent millions of dollars secured for families who have suffered unimaginable loss and injury. The same legal strategies applied in these cases are the ones we will leverage for our clients in Brantley County.

The Message to Fraternities, Universities, and National Organizations: Hazing Costs MILLIONS. We Have the Receipts.

• Stone Foltz, Bowling Green State University (Pi Kappa Alpha), 2021: $10.1 Million+
  Stone Foltz, a 20-year-old student, died from alcohol poisoning after being forced to drink an entire bottle of alcohol during a Pi Kappa Alpha initiation ritual. The tragedy resulted in $2.9 million from Bowling Green State University and $7.2 million from the Pi Kappa Alpha national fraternity and individuals, totaling over $10.1 million. This case establishes that our $10 million demand in the Bermudez case is well within justifiable precedent for severe hazing injuries, especially when both institutional and organizational defendants are involved.

• Maxwell Gruver, Louisiana State University (Phi Delta Theta), 2017: $6.1 Million Verdict
  Maxwell Gruver, just 18, died from acute alcohol poisoning (BAC of 0.495) after being forced to consume excessive alcohol during a Phi Delta Theta “Bible Study” event. A jury awarded his family a $6.1 million verdict. This case powerfully demonstrates that juries empathize deeply with hazing victims and are willing to award substantial sums to hold fraternities and their members accountable. It also led to the passage of the “Max Gruver Act,” making hazing a felony in Louisiana.

• Timothy Piazza, Penn State University (Beta Theta Pi), 2017: $110 Million+ (Estimated)
  Timothy Piazza, 19, suffered a traumatic brain injury and internal bleeding after being forced to drink 18 drinks in 82 minutes during a Beta Theta Pi ritual. Fraternity brothers waited 12 hours before calling 911. Security cameras captured the horrifying events. While the settlement amount remains confidential, it is estimated to be well over $110 million, marking one of the largest hazing payouts in history. The Piazza case proves that strong evidence and egregious conduct can lead to truly massive outcomes. It also spurred the “Timothy J. Piazza Antihazing Law” in Pennsylvania.

• Andrew Coffey, Florida State University (Pi Kappa Phi), 2017: Confidential Settlement
  Tragically, Andrew Coffey, 20, died from acute alcohol poisoning after being forced to drink an entire bottle of bourbon at a Pi Kappa Phi “Big Brother Night.” This is the same national fraternity involved in our Leonel Bermudez case. Nine fraternity members were criminally charged, and the chapter was permanently closed. This case is pivotal to our litigation because it reveals a documented history of deadly hazing within Pi Kappa Phi, showing a clear pattern of negligence by the national organization. They had eight years from Coffey’s death to prevent Leonel Bermudez’s hospitalization, and they failed.

• Adam Oakes, Virginia Commonwealth University (Delta Chi), 2021: $4 Million+ Settlement
  Adam Oakes, 19, died after being forced to drink a liter of Jack Daniel’s whiskey as part of a Delta Chi hazing event. His family recently reached a $4 million+ settlement. This case, along with others, demonstrates consistent multi-million dollar recoveries even without the massive figures of the Piazza case.

Why These Precedents Matter for Hazing Victims in Brantley County:

1. Our $10 Million Demand is Supported by Precedent: For families in Brantley County who have experienced similar trauma, the awards in the Stone Foltz and Maxwell Gruver cases directly support the substantial damages we are seeking for Leonel Bermudez and can seek for you. Even though Leonel survived, his life-threatening injuries, extensive hospitalization, and risk of permanent kidney damage warrant a demand within this range.
2. Juries and Courts Hate Hazing: The consistent multi-million dollar payouts and criminal convictions in these cases demonstrate a strong societal intolerance for hazing. Juries are often outraged by the conduct, leading to significant awards, including punitive damages.
3. Pattern of Negligence: Pi Kappa Phi National’s history, including the death of Andrew Coffey, establishes a clear pattern of knowledge and failure to act. The University of Houston’s prior hazing incident in 2017, just like similar cases at other universities with repeat offenses, underlines institutional negligence. This pattern evidence can significantly increase the value of your case in Brantley County.
4. Hazing Leads to Legislative Change: The Max Gruver and Timothy Piazza Acts show that these cases don’t just secure justice for individuals; they often lead to stricter anti-hazing laws nationwide, reflecting a growing societal push for accountability. Your case in Brantley County, no matter where your child attends school, can contribute to this critical movement.

These cases provide invaluable proof that justice can be won against powerful fraternities, universities, and their insurance companies. Families in Brantley County facing the devastation of hazing should know that they have a powerful legal framework and strong precedents backing their fight for justice.

Texas Law Protects You: Understanding Your Rights in Brantley County

For families in Brantley County considering legal action against hazing, understanding the legal framework is crucial. While our firm is based in Texas, the principles of anti-hazing laws and civil liability extend nationwide. Furthermore, our federal court authority means we can pursue your case in federal jurisdiction, regardless of whether the hazing occurred at a university in Georgia or another state.

The Law is Clear: Consent is NOT a Defense in Texas

One of the most insidious defenses often raised by fraternities and universities when hazing occurs is that the victim “consented” to participating. They might argue that students “knew what they were signing up for” or “could have left at any time.”

In Texas, this argument holds no legal weight.

Texas Education Code § 37.154 explicitly states: “It is not a defense to prosecution for an offense under this subchapter that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”

This is a critical provision that empowers victims and their families. It means that even if a student from Brantley County felt pressured, coerced, or even agreed to participate in hazing activities due to a desire to belong, fear of ostracism, or the manipulative nature of the rituals, their “consent” does not excuse the illegal and harmful actions of the perpetrators. The legislature understood that true consent cannot exist in a coercive, power-imbalanced environment like hazing.

What Constitutes Hazing Under Texas Law (and why it matters for Brantley County):

Texas Education Code § 37.151 provides a comprehensive definition of hazing that covers a wide range of harmful activities, many of which were inflicted upon Leonel Bermudez:

• Physical Brutality: This includes whipping, beating, striking (like the wooden paddles), branding, electronic shocking, or placing harmful substances on the body.
• Endangerment of Health or Safety: Any activity that subjects a student to an unreasonable risk of harm or adversely affects their mental or physical health or safety. This broadly covers sleep deprivation, exposure to elements, confinement, and extreme calisthenics (like Leonel’s 500 squats and 100 pushups leading to rhabdomyolysis).
• Forced Consumption: Requiring the student to consume food, liquid, alcohol, or other substances that pose an unreasonable risk of harm or negatively affect health (e.g., forced eating until vomiting, extreme binge drinking).
• Illegal Acts: Any activity that causes a student to perform a task that involves a violation of the Penal Code.
• Coerced Alcohol/Drug Consumption: Forcing a student to consume drugs or an amount of alcohol that would lead a reasonable person to believe the student is intoxicated.

The abuse Leonel Bermudez suffered, including waterboarding, forced extreme exercise, physical beatings, and forced eating, clearly falls under multiple categories of this legal definition. For families in Brantley County, it’s important to understand that similar state laws exist across the country, and even if a specific university is in another state, the egregious actions often constitute hazing regardless of location.

Civil Liability: Who to Sue and What to Sue For

Beyond criminal charges (which can include misdemeanors, felonies for serious bodily injury, and state jail felonies for death), civil lawsuits allow families from Brantley County to pursue comprehensive compensation for the immense harm caused by hazing.

• Negligence Claims: This is a cornerstone of personal injury law. It alleges that a party (university, national fraternity, individuals) had a duty of care to protect the student, breached that duty through their actions or inactions, and this breach directly caused the student’s injuries and damages. This applies in every state and is a powerful tool for accountability.
• Premises Liability: If hazing occurs on property owned or controlled by the university (as with the University of Houston in the Bermudez case) or a fraternity housing corporation, those entities have a responsibility to maintain a safe environment. Their failure to do so can lead to premises liability claims.
• Negligent Supervision: National fraternities and universities have a duty to supervise their chapters and Greek life organizations. Their failure to monitor, train, or intervene when hazing occurs constitutes negligent supervision.
• Assault and Battery: Individual perpetrators can be sued for intentional harmful or offensive contact.
• Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: For conduct as outrageous as waterboarding or psychological torture, a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress can be pursued, compensating for severe psychological harm.

Brantley County families: These civil claims exist in every state. Your child’s hazing case can proceed regardless of whether criminal charges are filed or successful. The standard of proof in civil cases is lower, focusing on compensation for victims rather than punishment for criminals. We will use every legal avenue available to ensure justice and prevent future tragedies.

For Brantley County families, this means you gain a legal team that is up-to-the-minute on hazing strategies, legal precedents, and defense tactics.
• Unparalleled Insider Knowledge: Both Ralph Manginello and Lupe Peña are former insurance defense attorneys. This is a critical advantage.

We’ve seen their playbooks from the inside – how they value claims, strategize defenses, and attempt to minimize payouts. Now, we use that knowledge to dismantle their arguments and maximize recovery for our clients. No legal maneuver will surprise us.
• Federal Court Authority and Dual-State Licenses: Hazing often involves national organizations and multi-state issues. Our admission to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, and Ralph Manginello’s dual-state bar licenses (Texas AND New York) provide a strategic advantage for cases against national fraternities headquartered anywhere in America. This means we are equipped to pursue justice for Brantley County families regardless of where the national organization is based or where the university is located.

This levels the playing field, making aggressive, expert legal representation accessible to every family in Brantley County, regardless of their financial situation.
• “They Don’t Care Unless They Have to Pay”: This is our guiding principle. Universities and national fraternities often prioritize reputation and financial solvency over student safety. Multi-million dollar lawsuits are the only language they understand. By holding them accountable financially, we force systemic change and help prevent future tragedies for other students.

What To Do Right Now: Actionable Steps for Brantley County Families

If your child in Brantley County or away at college has been subjected to hazing, the immediate aftermath can be chaotic and overwhelming. It’s crucial to act quickly and strategically. The window for collecting evidence is often short, and institutions may begin their own internal investigations aimed at minimizing their liability. Here are the critical steps you should take now:

1. Seek Immediate Medical Attention and Document EVERYTHING: Your child’s health is the absolute priority. Even if injuries seem minor, or if psychological trauma is evident, seek professional medical evaluation without delay. This creates an official record of the injuries, connecting them directly to the hazing incident. Be thorough:

   • Get Copies of All Medical Records: Hospital reports, emergency room visits, doctor’s notes, therapist’s assessments, diagnostic test results (blood work, X-rays, MRIs), and prescription records.
   • Document Physical Injuries: Take clear, well-lit photos and videos of any bruises, cuts, burns, swelling, or other visible injuries at all stages of healing. If there’s rhabdomyolysis (brown urine), photograph it if possible.
   • Track Psychological Impact: Document any symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, or changes in behavior. If therapy is sought, keep all records.

2. Preserve All Evidence Related to Communications: Modern hazing often leaves a digital trail.

   • Texts and Group Chats: Save every text message, GroupMe chat, Snapchat communication, Instagram DM, private Facebook message, or other messaging app conversation. DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING. Screenshots are crucial.
   • Social Media Posts: Keep a record of any relevant posts, photos, or videos from your child’s or other students’ social media accounts that pertain to the fraternity/sorority or hazing.
   • Emails: Preserve all emails related to the organization, membership, or the hazing incident.
   • Document “Burner Phone” Usage: If the fraternity required pledges to use specific phones or apps for communications, note this.

3. Identify and Secure Witness Information: Other pledges, fellow students, or even bystanders may have witnessed the hazing or its aftermath.

   • Names and Contact Information: Discreetly gather the names, phone numbers, and email addresses of anyone who might have information.
   • Statements: If possible, encourage witnesses to write down what they saw or heard.

4. Carefully Document the Hazing Activities and Location:

   • Detailed Timeline: Write down everything your child remembers, including dates, times, specific activities, and the names of those involved.
   • Location Details: Note where the hazing occurred – fraternity house, specific rooms, parks, off-campus residences, university property. If you can safely take photos of these locations, do so.

5. Gather Organizational Documents:

   • Pledge Manuals/Schedules: Any documents given to your child that outline pledge activities, schedules, rules, or the fraternity creed.
   • Membership Agreements: Any forms your child signed to join.

6. Track Financial and Academic Impacts:

   • Medical Bills & Expenses: Keep all bills, receipts, and records of out-of-pocket medical expenses.
   • Lost Wages: If your child missed work due to injuries or recovery, document lost income.
   • Academic Records: Note any impact on grades, enrollment status, or scholarships.

7. Crucial “DO NOT” Actions – Protecting Your Case:

   • DO NOT Delete Anything: Destroying evidence can severely harm your case.
   • DO NOT Talk to Fraternity/University Without Legal Counsel: Any statements made can be twisted and used against you. They are not on your side.
   • DO NOT Sign Anything: Do not sign any documents, waivers, or releases from the fraternity, university, or their representatives without consulting an attorney.
   • DO NOT Post on Social Media: Anything posted about the incident, your child’s condition, or even seemingly unrelated activities can be used by the defense to undermine your claims.
   • DO NOT Discuss Your Case: Avoid discussing the details of the hazing with anyone other than your immediate family and your attorney.

8. Call Attorney911 Immediately: The statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death cases in most states, including Texas, is typically two years from the date of injury or death. While this may seem like ample time, evidence disappears, memories fade, and defendants begin to construct their defenses. Our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case was hospitalized on November 6, and we filed a $10 million lawsuit within weeks – that’s the kind of immediate action these cases demand.
