Coconino County Parents: Your Child’s Safety Was Betrayed

You sent your child to college in Coconino County expecting them to be safe. You trusted Northern Arizona University. You trusted the Greek organizations. You trusted that the “traditions” you heard about were harmless.

That trust was betrayed.

What happened to your child wasn’t “tradition.” It wasn’t “building character.” It wasn’t “boys being boys” or “girls bonding.”

It was abuse. It was assault. It may have been criminal.

And now, your child is suffering — physically, emotionally, academically. They’re in pain. They’re traumatized. They’re afraid to speak up.

You are not alone. We are fighting this battle right now.

This Is Happening in Coconino County — Right Now

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client was waterboarded. He was forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down. He was struck with wooden paddles. He ended up in the hospital with kidney failure.

The same fraternities operate at Northern Arizona University and colleges across Coconino County.

The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist in Coconino County fraternities and sororities.

If your child is pledging Greek life in Coconino County, they face the same risks.

What Hazing Looks Like in Coconino County

Hazing isn’t just “a few pushups” or “drinking games.” In Coconino County and across Arizona, hazing includes:

Abuse Type What It Looks Like Real Consequences
Waterboarding Simulated drowning with hoses or towels Trauma, fear of suffocation, PTSD
Forced Consumption Drinking until vomiting; eating until choking Alcohol poisoning, organ damage, death
Extreme Exercise 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls, running drills Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, hospitalization
Physical Violence Paddling, beating, slapping, branding Broken bones, internal injuries, permanent scars
Sleep Deprivation Forced late nights, early mornings, no rest Exhaustion, accidents, mental health crises
Psychological Torture Humiliation, degradation, threats, isolation PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts
Sexual Abuse Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects Sexual assault, trauma, shame
Servitude Forced cleaning, driving, errands for members Exploitation, time lost, academic decline

These aren’t hypotheticals. This is what’s happening to students in Coconino County right now.

Northern Arizona University Has a Duty to Protect Your Child

Northern Arizona University (NAU) is responsible for student safety on campus and in university-affiliated housing. This includes:

  • Fraternity and sorority houses
  • On-campus Greek housing
  • Off-campus Greek events
  • University-sponsored activities

When NAU fails to protect students from hazing, they are legally liable.

NAU’s Failure in Coconino County:

  • They know hazing happens — it’s documented nationwide, including in Arizona
  • They have the power to stop it — they regulate Greek life, inspect houses, enforce policies
  • They choose not to act — until someone gets hurt, then they “suspend” chapters and claim they’re “shocked”
  • They prioritize reputation over safety — hazing is bad for PR, but they’d rather cover it up than prevent it

This is institutional negligence. And Coconino County families pay the price.

Who Is Liable for Coconino County Hazing?

When hazing happens in Coconino County, multiple parties are responsible:

Defendant Why They’re Liable Coconino County Application
Local Chapter Directly organized and conducted hazing NAU fraternity/sorority chapter
Chapter Officers Leadership responsibility; directed activities President, pledge master, risk manager
Individual Members Participated in hazing; failed to stop it Active members involved
National Organization Failed to supervise; knew about “hazing crisis” Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, etc.
University (NAU) Failed to protect students; knew hazing was happening Northern Arizona University administration
Housing Corporation Owned/controlled property where hazing occurred Fraternity/sorority house owners
Former Members Hosted hazing at their homes Alumni who allow hazing
Spouses/Partners Allowed hazing on their property Premises liability

Coconino County families: We sue them ALL.

We Know How to Win These Cases — $10 Million and Counting

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client was hospitalized for four days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles.

What Coconino County Hazing Victims Can Recover

If your child was hazed in Coconino County, you may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages:

  • Medical bills — hospital stays, ER visits, specialists, medications
  • Future medical costs — ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, potential dialysis/transplant
  • Lost wages — time missed from work during recovery
  • Educational expenses — tuition for disrupted semesters, lost scholarships
  • Therapy costs — mental health treatment for PTSD, anxiety, depression

Non-Economic Damages:

  • Physical pain and suffering — the agony of hazing injuries
  • Mental anguish — trauma from abuse, fear of retribution
  • Emotional distress — humiliation, shame, loss of trust
  • Loss of enjoyment of life — inability to participate in normal activities
  • Permanent impairment — long-term health consequences
  • Disfigurement — scars from branding, burns, or injuries

Punitive Damages:

  • Punishment for egregious conduct — waterboarding, forced exercise to collapse, etc.
  • Deterrent for future hazing — sends a message to other organizations
