You Are Not Alone. You Are Not Powerless. We Are Fighting This Battle – And We Will Fight for You.
🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Cape May County, NJ
Hazing is not a “rite of passage.” It is not “tradition.” It is not “building character.”
It is abuse. It is assault. It is torture. And it is happening right here in Cape May County.
At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—where a young man was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure.
This isn’t just happening in Texas. The same fraternities operate at colleges near Cape May County. The same negligence exists at New Jersey universities. And the same culture of silence protects the abusers.
If your child—or any student—has been hazed in Cape May County, we will fight for you with the same aggression we’re bringing to this case.

📚 The Legal Rights of Cape May County Hazing Victims
New Jersey Hazing Laws – What You Need to Know
New Jersey has strict anti-hazing laws under N.J.S.A. 2C:40-3, which defines hazing as:
“Any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them—regardless of their willingness to participate.”
Key Legal Points for Cape May County Victims:
✔ Consent is NOT a defense – Even if a student “agreed” to participate, hazing is still illegal.
✔ Criminal penalties – Hazing can result in fines, probation, or even jail time for perpetrators.
✔ Civil liability – Victims can sue for medical bills, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and punitive damages.
✔ Institutional responsibility – Universities and national fraternities can be held liable for failing to prevent hazing.
Who Can Be Sued in a Cape May County Hazing Case?
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Fraternity/Sorority Organization | Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowledge of prior incidents |
| University/College | Owned or controlled property where hazing occurred; failed to supervise Greek life |
| Individual Members (President, Pledgemaster, etc.) | Participated in or directed hazing activities |
| Alumni or Hosts | Allowed hazing at their residence (premises liability) |
| Insurance Companies | Provide liability coverage for fraternities, universities, and individuals |
💰 Precedent Cases – Hazing Lawsuits Win Millions

🏥 Medical Consequences of Hazing – What Cape May County Parents Need to Know
Hazing isn’t just “roughhousing”—it causes serious, life-threatening injuries. Our current client was hospitalized with:
✅ Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown from extreme exercise)
✅ Acute kidney failure (life-threatening complication)
✅ Severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
✅ Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
Other Common Hazing Injuries:
- Alcohol poisoning (forced drinking)
- Traumatic brain injuries (from beatings or falls)
- Broken bones (from physical abuse)
- Hypothermia/hyperthermia (from exposure)
- Sexual assault (forced nudity, inappropriate activities)
- Death (from extreme physical exertion or alcohol)
If your child has been hazed in Cape May County, seek medical attention immediately—even if they seem “fine.” Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms for days.
📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Cape May County
Step 1: Seek Medical Attention
- Go to the ER or urgent care immediately—even if injuries seem minor.
- Request full documentation of all injuries (physical and psychological).
Step 2: Preserve Evidence
✅ Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any physical evidence.
✅ Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs).
✅ Document witness names and contact info.
✅ Do NOT delete anything—even if it seems embarrassing or incriminating.
Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity/University Without a Lawyer
- Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to silence victims.
- They may offer lowball settlements or pressure you to sign away your rights.
- Never give a recorded statement without legal counsel.
