Hazing Victims in Choctaw County: Your Rights, Your Recovery, Your Justice

Choctaw County Families: You Are Not Alone

If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization in or near Choctaw County, Oklahoma, you need to know this:

Hazing is not tradition. It’s not bonding. It’s not harmless fun.

It’s abuse. It’s assault. It’s illegal. And it can kill.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure.

This same fraternity operates at universities near Choctaw County. The same negligence exists at Choctaw County institutions. And we will fight for Choctaw County families with the same fury we’re bringing to this case.

🚨 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Dangerous in Choctaw County)

Hazing is any activity that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for the purpose of initiation, membership, or affiliation.
