🚨 Bullitt County Hazing Victims: You Are Not Alone. We Are Fighting For You.

To the parents, students, and families of Bullitt County, Kentucky:

Your child trusted these people. They trusted the fraternity. They trusted the university. They trusted that these institutions would keep them safe.

That trust was betrayed.

If your child has been hazed in Bullitt County, we want you to know something:

You are not powerless. You are not alone. And you have legal rights.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million lawsuit against a fraternity and university for hazing that hospitalized a student. We know how to build these cases. We know how to hold institutions accountable. And we will fight for Bullitt County families with the same fury.

🏫 Hazing Happens in Bullitt County — And It’s Not “Tradition”

Hazing isn’t “boys being boys.” It isn’t “building character.” It isn’t “tradition.”

It is abuse. It is assault. It is torture.

In our current case, a student was:

  • Waterboarded — simulated drowning with a garden hose
  • Forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Made to eat until he vomited, then forced to keep running
  • Hospitalized for four days with kidney failure

This didn’t happen in a distant state. This happened at a major university — and the same fraternities operate in Bullitt County.

If your child is being hazed at a college near Bullitt County, they face the same risks.

💔 The Bullitt County Reality: Universities and Fraternities Fail Our Kids

Universities and national fraternities know hazing is happening. They have the power to stop it. But they choose reputation over safety.

At University of Houston, a student was hospitalized from hazing in 2017. They did nothing meaningful to prevent it from happening again in 2025.

At Pi Kappa Phi, a student died from hazing in 2017. They did nothing meaningful to prevent another student from being hospitalized in 2025.

The same failures happen in Bullitt County.

If your child has been hazed at a university near Bullitt County, the institution likely knew about the risk — and failed to protect them.

⚖️ Bullitt County Families: You Have Legal Rights

You may think:

  • “He agreed to participate.”
  • “He knew what he was getting into.”
  • “It’s just part of joining.”

Kentucky law says: Consent is not a defense.

Even if your child “agreed” to participate, hazing is illegal in Kentucky. The law explicitly states that consent does not excuse the conduct.

You can sue:

  • The local fraternity chapter
  • The national fraternity organization
  • The university
  • Individual members who participated
  • Anyone who allowed hazing to occur

You can recover compensation for:

  • Medical bills
  • Therapy and counseling
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Lost academic opportunities
  • Punitive damages to punish egregious conduct
