🚨 Doniphan County Parents: Your Child Could Be Next

Hazing doesn’t just happen at big universities. It happens at colleges and organizations right here in Doniphan County and across Kansas. The same national fraternities that waterboarded a student at University of Houston have chapters at institutions near Doniphan County. The same culture of abuse exists in Northeast Kansas.

This isn’t happening “somewhere else.” This could be happening to your child right now.

We’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. A young man was hospitalized with kidney failure after being waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles. The same fraternities operate near Doniphan County. The same abuse is happening near you.

Doniphan County families: You have rights. You have options. And you have us.

🔍 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Happening in Doniphan County)

Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them — regardless of their willingness to participate.

This is what hazing looks like in Doniphan County and across Kansas:

Kansas has seen hazing incidents at:

• Kansas State University (Manhattan)
• University of Kansas (Lawrence)
• Wichita State University
• Fort Hays State University
• Emporia State University
• And other colleges across the state

The same national fraternities with chapters at these Kansas schools have paid MILLIONS in hazing settlements nationwide. If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Doniphan County, they face the same risks we’re fighting in our $10 million case.

🏥 What Hazing Does to Doniphan County Students

Hazing isn’t “harmless fun.” It causes real, lasting damage to Doniphan County students:

In our current case:

• A student was hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure
• He was waterboarded (simulated drowning)
• He was forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down
• He was struck with wooden paddles
• He crawled up the stairs when he got home because he couldn’t walk

This isn’t happening “somewhere else.” This could be your Doniphan County child.
