🛡️ Dubois County Hazing Legal Guide: Protecting Students & Holding Institutions Accountable
By Attorney 911 — Dubois County’s Trusted Hazing Litigation Experts
🚨 Dubois County Families: Hazing is Happening Near You
Dubois County may be a tight-knit community known for its strong values and family traditions, but make no mistake—hazing is happening at colleges and universities near Dubois County. The same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries operate chapters throughout Indiana. The same dangerous “traditions” that hospitalized our client at the University of Houston exist right here in Dubois County’s backyard.
If your child attends college near Dubois County—whether at Indiana University, Purdue, the University of Southern Indiana, or any other institution—they face the same risks. And when hazing happens, Dubois County families deserve the same aggressive legal representation we provide to victims nationwide.
⚠️ The Hazing Crisis: What Dubois County Parents Need to Know
What is Hazing?
Hazing is any activity expected of someone joining or participating in a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them—regardless of whether they consent. In Indiana, hazing is a crime under Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2, punishable by up to one year in jail and fines up to $5,000.
Common hazing activities near Dubois County include:
- Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging, drinking games)
- Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, branding, excessive exercise)
- Psychological torture (sleep deprivation, humiliation, isolation)
- Sexual abuse (forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects)
- Dangerous stunts (blindfolded activities, confined spaces, exposure to elements)
- Waterboarding or simulated drowning (yes, this happens in Indiana too)
These aren’t “pranks” or “initiation rituals.” They’re assault, battery, and reckless endangerment—and they can cause permanent physical and psychological damage.
The Medical Reality: Hazing Injures and Kills
Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars. It causes real, life-threatening medical emergencies that Dubois County families need to understand:
| Condition | Cause | Symptoms | Dubois County Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhabdomyolysis | Extreme physical exertion (e.g., 500 squats, bear crawls) | Severe muscle pain, dark urine, kidney failure | Emergency care at Memorial Hospital and Health Care Center (Jasper) or Deaconess Hospital (Evansville) |
| Acute Alcohol Poisoning | Forced drinking | Confusion, vomiting, seizures, unconsciousness, death | Immediate ER transport; life support may be needed |
| Traumatic Brain Injury | Beatings, falls, head trauma | Headache, dizziness, memory loss, permanent cognitive impairment | Neurosurgery may be required; long-term rehabilitation |
| Hypothermia/Frostbite | Exposure to cold weather (e.g., forced to strip outside in winter) | Shivering, slurred speech, loss of coordination, tissue damage | Emergency warming; amputation may be required |
| Heat Stroke | Excessive exercise in hot conditions | High body temperature, nausea, confusion, organ failure | Immediate cooling and IV fluids |
| PTSD/Anxiety/Depression | Psychological abuse, trauma | Nightmares, flashbacks, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts | Long-term therapy at Dubois County mental health providers |
Our client in Houston suffered rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats and other extreme exercises. He spent four days in the hospital—and he’s lucky to be alive. This same medical emergency happens to Indiana students every year.
Dubois County Students Are at Risk
The fraternities and sororities with documented hazing histories operate chapters near Dubois County:
| Organization | Notable Hazing Cases | Indiana Chapters |
|---|---|---|
| Pi Kappa Phi | Andrew Coffey death (2017), Leonel Bermudez hospitalization (2025) | Indiana University, Purdue, Ball State |
| Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) | Stone Foltz death (2021), $10M settlement | Indiana University, Purdue, Butler |
| Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) | Multiple hazing deaths, chemical burns cases | Indiana University, Purdue |
| Phi Delta Theta | Max Gruver death (2017), $6.1M verdict | Indiana University, Purdue |
| Beta Theta Pi | Timothy Piazza death (2017), $110M+ settlement | Indiana University, Purdue |
| Sigma Chi | Multiple hazing injuries and deaths | Indiana University, Purdue, Ball State |
| Kappa Sigma | Multiple hazing deaths | Indiana University, Purdue |
These aren’t just names on a list. These are real organizations with real chapters near Dubois County—and they have real histories of abusing students.
Indiana Law: Hazing is a Crime
Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2 — Hazing
(a) A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally:
(1) engages in hazing;
(2) facilitates hazing; or
(3) recklessly permits hazing to occur;
commits a Class B misdemeanor.(b) A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in hazing that creates a substantial risk of bodily injury commits a Class A misdemeanor.
(c) A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in hazing that results in serious bodily injury commits a Level 6 felony.
(d) A person who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally engages in hazing that results in death commits a Level 5 felony.
What this means for Dubois County families:
- Hazing that causes injury = up to 1 year in jail
- Hazing that causes serious injury = up to 2.5 years in prison
- Hazing that causes death = up to 6 years in prison
But criminal charges aren’t enough. Criminal cases punish individuals—but they don’t compensate victims or change institutional culture. That’s where civil lawsuits come in.
⚖️ Legal Rights for Dubois County Hazing Victims
Who Can Be Sued?
When hazing happens to a Dubois County student, multiple parties can be held legally and financially responsible:
| Defendant | Basis for Liability | Dubois County Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing | Indiana University, Purdue, USI chapters |
| National Organization | Failed to supervise, enforce policies, or prevent hazing | Headquarters often in other states; deep pockets |
| University | Failed to protect students despite knowledge of hazing risks | Indiana University, Purdue, USI all have Greek life oversight |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing | Individual students may have little money, but homeowner’s insurance may cover |
| Individual Members | Participated in hazing | Same as above |
| Alumni | Allowed hazing at their home/property | May have more assets than current students |
| Housing Corporations | Owned/controlled property where hazing occurred | Often have insurance coverage |
| Insurance Companies | Provide coverage for hazing incidents | Multiple policies may apply |
Dubois County families: Even if the hazing happened out of state, we can pursue your case through our federal court authority and nationwide network.
Types of Legal Claims
| Claim | Elements | Dubois County Application |
|---|---|---|
| Negligence | Duty → Breach → Causation → Damages | Universities owe duty to protect students; nationals owe duty to supervise chapters |
| Premises Liability | Dangerous condition on property caused injury | If hazing happened at fraternity house, property owner (university or housing corp) may be liable |
| Negligent Supervision | Failed to properly oversee group | Universities and nationals failed to monitor Greek life |
| Assault | Intentional harmful contact | Physical abuse, waterboarding, paddling |
| Battery | Intentional offensive contact | Same as above |
| Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress | Outrageous conduct causing severe distress | Psychological torture, humiliation, threats |
| Civil Conspiracy | Agreement to commit wrongful act | Multiple members coordinating hazing activities |
Indiana’s “Consent” Defense Doesn’t Work
Fraternities and universities will try to claim:
- “The victim consented to participate”
- “They knew what they were getting into”
- “They could have left at any time”
Indiana law says: CONSENT IS NOT A DEFENSE TO HAZING.
Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2(e):
“It is not a defense to a prosecution under this section that the victim consented to the conduct that constitutes hazing.”
Why this matters for Dubois County families:
- The law explicitly eliminates the consent argument
- Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization can still be liable
- Focus stays on the conduct of the fraternity, not the choices of the victim
💰 Compensation for Dubois County Hazing Victims
Economic Damages (Tangible Losses)
| Category | Examples | Dubois County Costs |
|---|---|---|
| Medical Expenses | ER visits, hospitalization, surgery, therapy | Memorial Hospital (Jasper), Deaconess (Evansville) bills |
| Future Medical Care | Long-term treatment, rehabilitation, medications | Specialists in Evansville or Indianapolis |
| Lost Wages | Time missed from work during recovery | Part-time jobs, internships lost |
| Lost Earning Capacity | Permanent impact on career | Reduced job opportunities due to injury |
| Educational Costs | Tuition, fees, books for missed semesters | IU, Purdue, USI tuition reimbursement |
| Travel Expenses | Transportation to medical appointments | Gas, mileage to Evansville or Indianapolis |
Our client in Houston racked up over $100,000 in medical bills in just four days. Dubois County families shouldn’t have to bear these costs when the injury was caused by someone else’s negligence.
Non-Economic Damages (Pain and Suffering)
| Category | Dubois County Examples |
|---|---|
| Physical Pain | Agony of rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, broken bones |
| Mental Anguish | Trauma from waterboarding, forced drinking, beatings |
| Emotional Distress | Humiliation, shame, loss of trust in institutions |
| Loss of Enjoyment | Inability to participate in college life, social activities |
| Disfigurement | Scars from branding, burns, or injuries |
| PTSD | Nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety attacks from hazing |
Indiana has no cap on non-economic damages in personal injury cases. This means Dubois County juries can award full compensation for the harm caused.
Punitive Damages: Punishing Egregious Conduct
Punitive damages are awarded when conduct is:
- Grossly negligent
- Reckless
- Intentional
- Designed to harm
They serve two purposes:
- Punish the wrongdoer
- Deter others from similar conduct
Examples of conduct that justifies punitive damages:
- Waterboarding or simulated drowning (torture)
- Forcing exercise until collapse (reckless endangerment)
- Continuing hazing after another pledge was injured (deliberate indifference)
- Covering up hazing incidents (consciousness of guilt)
Our client was waterboarded with a garden hose. This isn’t hazing—it’s torture. Dubois County juries will not look kindly on this type of conduct.
📋 What Dubois County Families Should Do If Hazing Occurs
Immediate Steps: Preserve Evidence and Protect Rights
| Step | Action | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Ensure Safety | Remove victim from dangerous situation | Prevent further injury |
| 2. Seek Medical Attention | Go to ER or urgent care immediately | Document injuries; prevent complications |

| 4. Save Communications | Texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, emails | Direct evidence of hazing |

| 6. Do NOT Talk to the Organization | Fraternity/sorority leadership will try to control the narrative | Anything you say can be used against you |
