Hazing Victims in Claiborne County: Justice Starts Here
Attorney 911 – Fighting for Claiborne County Families Affected by Hazing
🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Claiborne County: What Every Parent Needs to Know
Claiborne County is known for its tight-knit communities, strong family values, and proud educational traditions. Families here send their children to college expecting them to be safe, to grow, and to thrive. But behind the scenes of fraternities, sororities, and other student organizations at universities near Claiborne County, a dangerous culture persists—one that has sent students to the hospital, destroyed lives, and even resulted in death.
Hazing is not tradition. It’s not bonding. It’s abuse.
And in Claiborne County, families are discovering that the same fraternities and sororities involved in nationwide hazing scandals have active chapters at universities close to home. If your child has been hazed—or if you suspect they have—you are not powerless. The law is on your side, and Attorney 911 is here to fight for you.
🔍 What Is Hazing? The Reality in Claiborne County
Hazing takes many forms, but it always involves physical or psychological abuse under the guise of “initiation” or “tradition.” In Claiborne County, students at nearby universities have reported:
- Forced excessive alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging, drinking games)
- Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion)
- Psychological torture (sleep deprivation, humiliation, verbal abuse)
- Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, extreme weather exposure, simulated drowning)
- Forced consumption of non-food substances (hot sauce, raw eggs, other harmful items)
- Sexual humiliation or assault (forced nudity, degrading acts)
The results?
- Hospitalizations for alcohol poisoning
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown leading to kidney failure)
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Severe anxiety, PTSD, and depression
- Death
If your child has experienced any of these abuses, they may have a legal case. And if they’ve been injured or traumatized, they deserve justice.
🏛️ The Landmark Case That Proves Claiborne County Families Can Win
Right now, Attorney 911 is fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston for a hazing victim who was hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to endure:
✅ Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✅ 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
✅ Forced eating of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting
✅ Being struck with wooden paddles
✅ Sleep deprivation and exhaustion from driving fraternity members at all hours
This isn’t just happening in Houston—it’s happening near Claiborne County too.
The same national fraternities involved in this case—Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others—have active chapters at universities close to Claiborne County. If they’re doing this in Houston, they’re doing it near Claiborne County.
And we’re holding them accountable.
⚖️ Can Claiborne County Families Sue for Hazing?
Yes. If your child has been hazed, you may have a legal claim against:
| Who Can Be Sued? | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| The local fraternity/sorority chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| The national fraternity/sorority organization | Failed to supervise; knew about hazing risks |
| The university | Failed to protect students despite prior incidents |
| Individual members | Participated in or enabled hazing |
| Chapter advisors & alumni | Failed to intervene despite knowledge |
| Property owners | Allowed hazing on their premises |
In Tennessee, hazing is illegal—and consent is NOT a defense.
Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter. If they were injured, the organization is still liable.
💰 How Much Is a Claiborne County Hazing Case Worth?
Hazing cases can result in millions of dollars in compensation for victims and their families. Recent settlements and verdicts include:
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 million |
| Maxwell Gruver | Louisiana State | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ million settlement |
| Andrew Coffey | Florida State | Pi Kappa Phi | Confidential multi-million settlement |
Your child’s case could be worth just as much—or more.
What Can Claiborne County Families Recover?
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
- Lost wages (if hazing affected their ability to work)
- Educational disruption (tuition, scholarships lost)
- Punitive damages (to punish the organization for egregious conduct)
