Hazing Victims in Burnet County Deserve Justice — We Fight for Texas Families

If your child was hazed at a university near Burnet County, Texas, you don’t have to stay silent. Attorney 911 is fighting this battle right now — and we’re ready to fight for Burnet County families too.

This Happens in Burnet County Too — And We Will Stop It

Right now, our attorneys are litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This isn’t just happening in Houston — the same fraternities operate at universities near Burnet County, Texas. The same abuse happens here.

Burnet County parents send their children to college expecting them to be safe. Instead, they’re being tortured in the name of “tradition.” We’re putting these organizations on notice: If you haze students in Burnet County, we will hold you accountable.

What Hazing Really Looks Like in Texas

Hazing isn’t harmless “initiation.” It’s abuse, torture, and sometimes death. In our current case, a student was:

  • Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
  • Forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, and bear crawls until he collapsed
  • Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
  • Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to lie in his own vomit
  • Hospitalized for three nights with kidney failure from rhabdomyolysis

This isn’t an isolated incident. It’s happening at universities near Burnet County, Texas — and it’s happening to Burnet County students.

Burnet County Families: You Are Not Alone

We know Burnet County parents are worried. Maybe your child came home from college with bruises, or stories of being forced to drink until they blacked out. Maybe they’re too afraid to tell you what really happened. Maybe you’ve already lost a child to hazing.

You don’t have to face this alone. We’re already in the fight — and we’re bringing Burnet County families the same aggressive representation we provide in Houston.

The Same Fraternities Operate Near Burnet County

Pi Kappa Phi, the fraternity we’re suing, has 150+ chapters across America — including near Burnet County, Texas. Other fraternities like Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, and Pi Kappa Alpha have chapters at universities in Central Texas, and they have the same hazing cultures.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Burnet County, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

Universities Near Burnet County Are Complicit

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded. They had the power to inspect, regulate, and shut it down — but they didn’t. Universities near Burnet County have the same responsibility to protect students — and the same liability when they fail.

In 2017, a student at UH was hospitalized with a lacerated spleen from hazing. Eight years later, it happened again. Burnet County parents deserve to know: How many times will universities near Burnet County ignore the warning signs?

Burnet County Parents: This Could Be Your Child

Our client was a “ghost rush” — not even enrolled at UH yet. He was expected to transfer for the upcoming semester. They hazed someone who wasn’t even a student. If they’ll do that to a non-student, imagine what they’ll do to your child.

If your child is attending or planning to attend college near Burnet County, they are at risk.

What We’re Doing About It

We filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi, the University of Houston, and multiple individuals. We’re pursuing:

  • Pi Kappa Phi National — for failing to supervise despite knowing about a “hazing crisis”
  • The local chapter — for directly organizing the abuse
  • The University of Houston — for owning the house where torture occurred
  • Individual members — for participating in and facilitating the hazing

Burnet County families deserve the same aggressive representation.

  2. Preserve all evidence — texts, photos, videos, witness names
  3. Do NOT talk to the fraternity, sorority, or university without legal counsel
  4. Call us immediately — 1-888-ATTY-911

If Your Child Is Planning to Pledge Near Burnet County:

  1. Talk to them about the risks — show them this page
  2. Document everything — encourage them to save texts, photos, and videos
  3. Tell them they can say no — no “tradition” is worth their health or life
  4. Let them know they can come to us — we protect our clients

Burnet County families pay $0 to hire us. We only get paid if we win your case.

Burnet County Parents: This Stops With You

Our client is fearful of speaking out because of retribution. Burnet County victims shouldn’t have to be afraid. Lupe Pena said it best:

“If this prevents harm to another person, that’s what we’re hoping to do. Let’s bring this to light. Enough is enough.”

Your case could save the next Burnet County student from being hazed. Your courage could protect other families from going through what you have.
