Hazing Victims in Fallon County Deserve Justice – Attorney 911 Fights for You

🚨 This Happened Near Fallon County. It Could Happen to Your Child.

Fallon County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But every year, students across Montana and the nation are subjected to brutal, life-threatening hazing—forced drinking, extreme physical abuse, psychological torture, and even death.

Right now, we are fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—a case that proves hazing isn’t just “tradition.” It’s assault. It’s battery. It’s torture. And it’s happening at universities near Fallon County.

If your child has been hazed—whether in a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization—you have legal rights. Attorney 911 is here to fight for Fallon County families.

🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Montana & Beyond

Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines

The same fraternities and sororities operating near Fallon County have chapters nationwide—and a documented history of abuse.

  • Pi Kappa Phi (the fraternity in our current lawsuit) has 150+ chapters across America, including near Fallon County.
  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE), Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, and others have all paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries.
  • Universities near Fallon County—including Montana State University (MSU) in Bozeman and the University of Montana in Missoula—have Greek organizations with the same national affiliations as those involved in hazing lawsuits.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Fallon County, they face the same risks.

What Hazing Really Looks Like

Hazing isn’t just “roughhousing.” It’s systematic abuse designed to humiliate, injure, and break students.

In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi pledges were subjected to:
Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
Forced to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until collapse
Struck with wooden paddles
Forced to eat until vomiting, then continue exercising
Hog-tied face-down with an object in their mouth for over an hour
Threatened with expulsion if they refused

Result: Our client was hospitalized for four days with rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and kidney failure.

This isn’t “tradition.” This is torture.

💰 Hazing Cases Win Millions – Fallon County Victims Deserve the Same

Hazing lawsuits have resulted in multi-million-dollar verdicts and settlements nationwide. These cases prove that universities, national fraternities, and individual members can be held accountable.

Recent Hazing Verdicts & Settlements

Case Fraternity University Outcome Amount
Stone Foltz Pi Kappa Alpha Bowling Green State Settlement $10.1M+
Maxwell Gruver Phi Delta Theta Louisiana State Jury Verdict $6.1M
Timothy Piazza Beta Theta Pi Penn State Settlement $110M+
Andrew Coffey Pi Kappa Phi Florida State Settlement Confidential (major)
Adam Oakes Delta Chi Virginia Commonwealth Settlement $4M+

These cases show that juries and courts take hazing seriously—and so do we.

⚖️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Fallon County?

When hazing happens, multiple parties can be held legally responsible:

  1. The Local Chapter – The fraternity or sorority that organized the hazing.
  2. The National Organization – The parent fraternity/sorority that failed to supervise and enforce anti-hazing policies.
  3. The University – If they knew (or should have known) about hazing and failed to stop it.
  4. Individual Members – Officers, pledgemasters, and active members who participated.
  5. Alumni & Advisors – If they hosted or encouraged hazing.
  6. Housing Corporations – If hazing occurred in a fraternity/sorority house.

In our current case, we are suing:

  • Pi Kappa Phi National
  • The UH Beta Nu Chapter
  • The University of Houston (they owned the fraternity house)
  • Individual fraternity members and officers

Fallon County families can pursue the same accountability.

🚑 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Fallon County

If your child has been hazed, time is critical. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and statutes of limitations expire.

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

  • Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, and internal injuries can be life-threatening.
  • Document all injuries—take photos of bruises, cuts, or other physical harm.
  • Get a full medical evaluation—some injuries (like kidney damage) may not appear immediately.

Step 2: Preserve Evidence

Save all text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, and social media posts about hazing.
Take screenshots—fraternities/sororities often delete incriminating messages.
Document witness names—other pledges may have seen or experienced the same abuse.
Keep all medical records—hospital bills, doctor’s notes, therapy records.

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity, Sorority, or University Without a Lawyer

  • They will try to control the narrative.
  • They may pressure your child to sign documents waiving their rights.
  • They will use anything your child says against them.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

We offer free, confidential consultations for Fallon County hazing victims.
