Justice for Students and Families Affected by Greek Life Abuse

Attorney 911 — Fighting for Fairfield County Hazing Victims Nationwide

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or other student organization in Fairfield County, South Carolina, or anywhere in the state, you are not alone. The same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries operate right here in Fairfield County. We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston — and we will bring the same aggressive representation to Fairfield County families.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Fairfield County: What Local Families Need to Know

Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines — It Happens Here Too

Fairfield County is home to Fairfield Central High School, and many local students go on to attend colleges and universities where Greek life thrives. The same fraternities involved in the University of Houston hazing case — where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure — have chapters at institutions near Fairfield County.

National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others operate at universities across South Carolina, including:

• University of South Carolina (Columbia)
• Clemson University
• College of Charleston
• South Carolina State University
• Winthrop University
• Coastal Carolina University

These organizations have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries nationwide. The same culture of abuse exists in Fairfield County’s backyard.

💔 What Fairfield County Families Are Facing

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It’s abuse, assault, and sometimes manslaughter. In our current case, a student was:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
• Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure

This isn’t hazing. This is torture.

If your child was subjected to similar abuse in Fairfield County or at a South Carolina university, they have legal rights. You have the right to hold the fraternity, its national organization, and the university accountable.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Fairfield County Hazing Victim

1. South Carolina Hazing Laws Protect Your Child

South Carolina has strict anti-hazing laws (S.C. Code § 59-101-200). Hazing is a criminal offense, and consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law still holds the organization liable.

2. Universities Are Responsible for Student Safety

If hazing occurred on campus or in university-owned housing (like a fraternity house), the school may be legally liable for failing to protect your child. In our current case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where the abuse happened — and they are now a defendant in our $10 million lawsuit.

3. National Fraternities Can Be Held Accountable

National organizations like Pi Kappa Phi, SAE, and others have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries. They have insurance policies and deep pockets — and they can be sued for failing to supervise their chapters.

4. You Have a Limited Time to Act

In South Carolina, you typically have 3 years to file a personal injury lawsuit (S.C. Code § 15-3-530). However, evidence disappears quickly, and witnesses forget. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Fairfield County Families

Q: My child was hazed but didn’t go to the hospital. Do we still have a case?

A: Yes. Even if your child wasn’t hospitalized, they may have suffered psychological trauma, PTSD, or emotional distress — all of which are compensable. Contact us immediately to discuss your options.

Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Does that matter?

A: No. In South Carolina, consent is not a defense to hazing. The law explicitly states that even if a student agreed to participate, the organization is still liable.

Q: The university says they didn’t know about the hazing. Can we still sue?

A: Yes. Universities have a duty to supervise Greek organizations. If they failed to implement proper oversight, they can be held liable — especially if there were prior hazing incidents at the same chapter.

Q: My child was hazed at a university outside Fairfield County. Can you still help?

A: Absolutely. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including at South Carolina universities like USC, Clemson, and College of Charleston. We travel for depositions and trials.

Q: How long do we have to file a lawsuit?

A: In South Carolina, you typically have 3 years from the date of the injury. However, evidence disappears quickly, so contact us immediately to protect your rights.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney 911?

A: Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning we only get paid if we win your case. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
