The Complete Guide to Hazing in Texas: What Parents in Town of Fulton Need to Know About Fraternity, Sorority, and Campus Abuse

1. Hook + Overview

1.1 A Scenario Every Town of Fulton Parent Fears

It’s a Friday night during pledge season. Your son, a first-year student at a major Texas university, is at an off-campus fraternity house. What started as a “big brother reveal” has turned into something darker. He’s being pressured to drink an entire bottle of liquor. Around him, older members chant and film on their phones. He feels sick, humiliated, and trapped. He wants to leave, but he’s afraid of being ostracized, labeled a “quitter,” and losing the social circle he worked so hard to join. Hours later, he stumbles back to his dorm, injured and vomiting, but begs his roommate not to call for help because he doesn’t want to “get the chapter in trouble.”

This isn’t just a dramatic story. It’s the reality for countless students across Texas, including young men and women from Town of Fulton families who attend the University of Houston, Texas A&M, UT Austin, SMU, Baylor, and other campuses. Hazing has evolved beyond old stereotypes, hiding in group chats, disguised as “team building,” and causing catastrophic injuries and deaths. Right now, we are actively litigating one of the most serious hazing cases in Texas history: the Leonel Bermudez v. University of Houston & Pi Kappa Phi lawsuit. This case proves that extreme abuse is happening on our Texas campuses, and families have the power to fight for accountability.

2. Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like

2.1 A Modern, Texas-Specific Definition

For Town of Fulton families, understanding hazing starts with the law. Under Texas Education Code Chapter 37, hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act directed against a student for the purpose of joining, affiliating with, or maintaining membership in any organization. The act must endanger the mental or physical health or safety of the student. Crucially, the victim’s “consent” is not a defense.

In plain English: If your child is forced, coerced, or pressured into doing something dangerous, degrading, or harmful to become part of a group—whether that group is a fraternity, sorority, Corps unit, athletic team, or spirit squad—it is hazing, and it is illegal.

2.2 The Five Main Categories of Hazing Today

Hazing is not just about alcohol. It is a spectrum of abuse that often escalates.

1. Alcohol and Substance Hazing: The most common and deadly form.

Forced consumption: “Lineup” drinking games, chugging challenges, “Big/Little” nights where a pledge is given a handle of liquor.
Coerced use: Pressure to consume drugs like marijuana, prescription pills, or nitrous oxide.

2. Physical Hazing: Beyond “hard workouts.”

Violent acts: Paddling, beatings, tackles (like the fatal “glass ceiling” ritual).
Extreme exertion: “Smokings” with hundreds of push-ups or squats until collapse, leading to rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown).
Environmental torture: Sleep deprivation, food/water restriction, exposure to extreme cold or heat.

3. Sexualized and Humiliating Hazing: Designed to degrade and create shame.

Forced nudity or simulated sexual acts (“elephant walk,” “roasted pig”).
Degrading costumes or roles, including those with racist or sexist overtones.

4. Psychological Hazing: The invisible wounds.

Verbal abuse: Yelling, screaming, threats, insults.
Isolation: Cutting off contact with family and non-member friends.
Manipulation: Forced confessions, “grilling” sessions, public shaming.

5. Digital Hazing: The 24/7 control system.

Group chat terror: Required instant responses at all hours, sleep disruption via notifications.
Social media humiliation: Forced to post embarrassing content on TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat.
Location tracking: Mandated sharing of live location via apps.

2.3 Where Hazing Happens: It’s Not Just Fraternities

While Greek organizations are frequent offenders, hazing permeates many groups:

Fraternities and Sororities (IFC, Panhellenic, NPHC, Multicultural).
Corps of Cadets / ROTC / Military-Style Groups (especially at Texas A&M).
Athletic Teams (from football and basketball to cheer and swim).
Spirit and Tradition Organizations (like Texas Cowboys, spirit squads).
Marching Bands and Performance Groups.
Some Academic, Service, and Cultural Clubs.

The common thread is a power imbalance, a tradition of secrecy, and a perverse belief that abuse builds loyalty.

3. Law & Liability Framework (Texas + Federal)

3.1 Texas Hazing Law: Education Code Chapter 37

Texas has a robust legal framework to combat hazing. Key provisions every Town of Fulton parent should know:

Definition (§37.151): As noted, hazing is broad and includes reckless acts that endanger physical or mental health for initiation purposes.
Criminal Penalties (§37.152):
- Class B Misdemeanor: Basic hazing (up to 180 days jail, $2,000 fine).
- Class A Misdemeanor: Hazing that causes injury requiring medical treatment.
- State Jail Felony: Hazing that causes serious bodily injury or death.
Immunity (§37.154): Individuals who in good faith report hazing or seek emergency medical assistance are immune from civil liability and may receive amnesty from university discipline.
Consent is NOT a Defense (§37.155): Even if your child “went along with it,” the perpetrators can still be prosecuted.

3.2 Criminal vs. Civil Cases: Two Paths to Accountability

Criminal Cases: Brought by the state (DA or county attorney). Goal is punishment (jail, fines, probation). Charges can include hazing, assault, furnishing alcohol to minors, and in fatal cases, manslaughter.

Civil Cases: Brought by the victim or their family. Goal is compensation for damages and institutional accountability. These are wrongful death or personal injury lawsuits based on negligence, gross negligence, and negligent supervision.

A criminal conviction is not required to file a civil suit. In fact, the burden of proof in civil court (“preponderance of the evidence”) is lower than in criminal court (“beyond a reasonable doubt”).

3.3 Federal Overlay: Title IX, Clery, and the Stop Campus Hazing Act

Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): Requires colleges receiving federal aid to publicly report hazing incidents and strengthen prevention programs by 2026. This will increase transparency for families.
Title IX: If hazing involves sexual harassment, sexual assault, or gender-based discrimination, the university has specific federal obligations to investigate and respond.
Clery Act: Requires universities to report certain campus crime statistics, which can include hazing-related assaults or alcohol offenses.

3.4 Who Can Be Liable in a Civil Hazing Lawsuit?

A powerful civil case identifies every responsible entity, creating maximum leverage for a fair settlement.

Individual Perpetrators: The students who planned, executed, or covered up the hazing.
Local Chapter/Housing Corporation: The fraternity or sorority as a legal entity (many have EINs and property).
National Fraternity/Sorority Headquarters: For failing to supervise, enforce policies, or act on known patterns of abuse.
The University: For negligent supervision, deliberate indifference to known risks, or violating Title IX/Clery duties.
Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, bars that overserved alcohol, security companies.

4. National Hazing Case Patterns (Anchor Stories)

4.1 The Alcohol Poisoning Pattern: Fatal Predictability

Timothy Piazza – Penn State, Beta Theta Pi (2017): A bid-acceptance night of forced drinking led to fatal falls. Brothers delayed calling 911 for hours. The case resulted in the Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law in Pennsylvania and over 1,000 criminal charges.
Max Gruver – LSU, Phi Delta Theta (2017): Died during a “Bible study” drinking game. His death spurred Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act, making hazing a felony.
Andrew Coffey – Florida State, Pi Kappa Phi (2017): Died after a “Big Brother” night where he was given a handle of liquor. FSU suspended all Greek life.
Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha (2021): Forced to drink a bottle of alcohol during a pledge event. His family secured a $10 million settlement ($7M from the national fraternity, ~$3M from BGSU).

4.2 Physical & Ritualized Violence

Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi (2013): Pledge died from traumatic brain injury after a blindfolded, violent “glass ceiling” ritual at a retreat. The national fraternity was convicted of manslaughter and banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years.

4.3 Athletic and Institutional Hazing

Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): Widespread sexualized and racist hazing allegations led to multiple lawsuits, the firing of the head coach, and confidential settlements, proving hazing is endemic in high-profile sports.

4.4 What These Cases Mean for Town of Fulton Families

These national tragedies are not distant news. They are the blueprint for liability. They prove that universities and national fraternities know these rituals are deadly, yet they persist. When the same patterns appear at Texas schools—forced drinking, violent traditions, cover-ups—the legal arguments for negligence and gross negligence are already written.

5. Texas Focus: UH, Texas A&M, UT, SMU, Baylor

For parents in Town of Fulton and the surrounding Coastal Bend region, college often means sending students to one of Texas’s major university hubs. The culture and Greek life at these schools directly impact our community. Below, we break down the hazing landscape at each, with particular attention to the institutions Town of Fulton families are most connected to.

5.1 University of Houston: A Local Case with National Implications

5.1.1 Campus & Culture Snapshot
The University of Houston is a large, diverse, urban research university with a significant commuter population alongside a growing residential and Greek community. Its proximity to Houston’s metropolitan resources means hazing can occur both on-campus and in numerous off-campus houses and apartments.

5.1.2 The Flagship Case: Leonel Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi
This active, $10 million lawsuit, filed in late 2025, is the clearest example of severe hazing in Texas today. We represent Leonel Bermudez, a UH student and Pi Kappa Phi pledge. The lawsuit alleges a campaign of abuse that included:

Humiliation: A mandatory “pledge fanny pack” containing condoms, a sex toy, and nicotine devices.
Physical Torture: Sprints, bear crawls, being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding,” forced consumption of milk and hot dogs until vomiting, and a November 3rd workout of 100+ push-ups and 500 squats.
Medical Catastrophe: Bermudez developed rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure, passed brown urine, and was hospitalized for four days with critically high creatine kinase levels.
Institutional Response: Pi Kappa Phi national suspended the Beta Nu chapter on November 6, 2025. Members voted to surrender their charter on November 14. UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing.”

This case, covered by Click2Houston and ABC13, is not an anomaly. It is a symptom of a systemic problem.

5.1.3 Other Documented Incidents at UH
UH has disciplined multiple organizations for hazing. Public records and news reports indicate prior incidents involving physical abuse and alcohol coercion, often resulting in chapter probation or suspension.

5.1.4 How a UH Hazing Case Proceeds
Jurisdiction typically involves the Harris County court system. Potential defendants include the individuals, the local chapter, the Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters (or other relevant national), the UH System Board of Regents, and property owners. UH, as a public institution, may raise sovereign immunity defenses, but exceptions exist for gross negligence.

5.1.5 What UH Parents & Students Should Do

Report immediately to the UH Dean of Students Office and the UH Police Department.
Understand that UH’s internal process is separate from civil or criminal action.
Contact a lawyer with specific experience in Houston and Harris County hazing litigation to navigate the complex web of defendants.

5.2 Texas A&M University: Tradition, Corps Culture, and High Risk

5.2.1 Campus & Culture Snapshot
Texas A&M’s culture is defined by deep tradition, a massive Greek system, and the renowned Corps of Cadets. This environment, which emphasizes loyalty and hierarchy, can sometimes enable and conceal abusive behaviors under the guise of tradition.

5.2.2 Documented Incidents & Lawsuits

Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged they were doused with a mixture including industrial-strength cleaner, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin grafts. The chapter was suspended, and lawsuits were filed.
Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Lawsuit (2023): A cadet alleged he was subjected to degrading hazing, including being bound between beds in a simulated sexual position with an apple in his mouth. The lawsuit sought over $1 million in damages.
Other Greek Life Sanctions: A&M regularly disciplines fraternities and sororities for hazing violations involving alcohol, physical abuse, and sleep deprivation.

5.2.3 How an A&M Hazing Case Proceeds
Cases may be filed in Brazos County. Defendants can include individual cadets or Greek members, the specific Corps unit or fraternity chapter, their national organizations, Texas A&M University (a public institution with potential immunity issues), and The Association of Former Students in certain contexts.

5.2.4 What A&M Parents & Students Should Do

Be extra vigilant about traditions masked as “team building” or “character development.”
Utilize reporting channels through the Student Conduct Office and the Corps headquarters.
Seek legal counsel familiar with the unique interplay between university, Corps, and Greek life at A&M.

5.3 University of Texas at Austin: A Transparent Record of Repeated Violations

5.3.1 Campus & Culture Snapshot
UT Austin boasts one of the largest and most influential Greek communities in the nation, alongside powerful spirit groups and athletic programs. Its public Hazing Violations Log provides a rare window into recurrent problems.

5.3.2 Documented Incidents from the Public Log
UT’s website lists numerous sanctions, including:

Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): Sanctioned for forcing new members to consume excessive milk and perform strenuous calisthenics.
Texas Wranglers (2023): Spirit group sanctioned for forced workouts and alcohol-related hazing.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Assault Case (2024): An Australian exchange student sued the UT chapter after an alleged assault at a party left him with a dislocated leg, broken nose, and fractures.

5.3.3 How a UT Hazing Case Proceeds
Civil suits are typically filed in Travis County. UT Austin’s public log is a goldmine for establishing “pattern and practice” evidence against organizations, showing they were on notice. The university itself can be a defendant, though sovereign immunity applies.

5.3.4 What UT Parents & Students Should Do

Review the UT Hazing Violations Log to see if an organization has a prior history.
Report to the UT Dean of Students and UTPD.
Consult with an attorney who knows how to use UT’s own transparency as a weapon in your case.

5.4 Southern Methodist University

5.4.1 Campus & Culture Snapshot
SMU is a private, affluent university with a highly visible Greek life culture. As a private institution, it has fewer protections under sovereign immunity but may guard internal records more closely.

5.4.2 Documented Incidents

Kappa Alpha Order (2017): The chapter was suspended for paddling, forced drinking, and sleep deprivation.
SMU utilizes anonymous reporting systems like Real Response, indicating an awareness of hazing risks.

5.4.3 How an SMU Hazing Case Proceeds
Suits are filed in Dallas County. The private status of SMU allows for broader discovery into internal investigations and policies.

5.5 Baylor University

5.5.1 Campus & Culture Snapshot
Baylor’s Christian identity exists alongside a history of institutional scandal (the football sexual assault scandal). Its Greek life and athletic programs have faced hazing allegations.

5.5.2 Documented Incidents

Baylor Baseball Hazing (2020): 14 players were suspended following a hazing investigation.

5.5.3 How a Baylor Hazing Case Proceeds
Suits are filed in McLennan County. Baylor’s religious affiliation does not shield it from negligence claims.

6. Fraternities & Sororities: Campus-Specific + National Histories

6.1 The Critical Link: National Patterns Create Local Liability

The fraternities and sororities on Texas campuses are chapters of national organizations. These nationals have seen it all: deaths, lawsuits, multi-million dollar settlements. They write extensive anti-hazing policies precisely because they know the deadly patterns. When a local chapter at UH or Texas A&M repeats a fatal script—like a “Big/Little” drinking night or a violent paddling ritual—the national organization can be held liable for failing to effectively supervise and enforce its own rules. This concept, called “foreseeability,” is a cornerstone of hazing litigation.

6.2 The Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine: Tracking the Entities

Our firm maintains a proprietary data engine of Texas Greek organizations compiled from public records. This allows us to immediately identify all potentially liable entities in a hazing case. For example, in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metro area alone, there are 188 Greek-related organizations recorded in public filings. These aren’t just social clubs; they are legal entities with EINs, addresses, and often, insurance policies.

Sample Public Records Listing (Illustrative):

Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, Inc. (National HQ) – EIN, Charlotte, NC.
Beta Nu Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Housing Corporation Inc. – EIN: 462267515, Frisco, TX 75035.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon – Texas Rho Corp. – Listed in Austin, TX (Cause IQ metro data).
Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation Inc. – EIN: 741380362, Fort Worth, TX 76147.

When we take a case, we don’t start from zero. We already know how to find the housing corporations, alumni chapters, and national foundations that may share responsibility.

6.3 National Brands with Notorious Histories at Texas Schools

Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): National history includes the Stone Foltz death ($10M settlement). Present at UH, Texas A&M, UT, SMU, Baylor.
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): Multiple national deaths; sued at Texas A&M (chemical burns) and UT Austin (assault).
Pi Kappa Phi: National history includes the Andrew Coffey death at FSU. Now the subject of our active lawsuit at UH.
Phi Delta Theta: National history includes the Max Gruver death at LSU. Present on multiple Texas campuses.
Kappa Alpha Order: Sanctioned for hazing at SMU and other schools.

This history isn’t about branding all members as bad people. It’s about proving that the national organization was on notice that its chapters were engaging in lethal behavior and failed to take adequate steps to stop it.

7. Building a Case: Evidence, Damages, Strategy

7.1 Evidence is Everything: The Modern Toolkit

Winning a hazing case requires a rapid, thorough evidence collection strategy.

Digital Forensics: Deleted GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Discord chats can often be recovered. Social media posts, Instagram stories, and TikTok videos are critical.
Photographic Evidence: Pictures of injuries, locations, and paraphernalia (paddles, bottles).
Medical Records: ER reports, hospitalization records, lab tests (like CK levels for rhabdomyolysis), and psychological evaluations for PTSD.
University Records: Obtained via subpoena, these can reveal prior complaints and lax discipline.
National Fraternity Records: Discovery can uncover emails showing the national knew about problems but did nothing substantive.
Witness Testimony: Other pledges, former members, roommates, and RAs.

We have a detailed video on using your phone to document evidence that every parent and student should watch.

7.2 Damages: What Can Be Recovered

Civil lawsuits seek to make the victim whole and hold defendants accountable through compensation for:

Economic Damages: All past and future medical bills, lost wages, lost earning capacity, and educational costs (like withdrawing from a semester).
Non-Economic Damages: Physical pain, mental anguish, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of life, and disfigurement.
Wrongful Death Damages: Funeral costs, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship for families.
Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or malicious conduct, to punish the defendant and deter future behavior.

7.3 Navigating Insurance and Institutional Defenses

Fraternities and universities have deep-pocketed insurers who will look for any reason to deny coverage (e.g., claiming hazing is an “intentional act” excluded from the policy). Our advantage comes from Mr. Lupe Peña’s background as a former insurance defense attorney. He knows the tactics insurers use to delay, deny, and devalue claims. We fight for coverage and, if necessary, pursue “bad faith” claims against the insurers themselves.

8. Practical Guides & FAQs

8.1 For Parents: A Step-by-Step Action Plan

Prioritize Safety & Health: Get medical care immediately. Injuries like rhabdomyolysis or concussions can be fatal if untreated.
Preserve Evidence: Help your child screenshot EVERYTHING. Do not let them delete messages out of shame or fear.
Document: Write down a timeline with names, dates, and details.
Report Strategically: You can report to campus police, local police, and the Dean of Students. Consult with an attorney first to understand the implications.
Secure Legal Counsel Before Talking to Anyone Else: Do not give statements to university investigators, insurance adjusters, or the media without an attorney. The university’s interest is limiting its liability, not protecting your child.

8.2 For Students

Know Your Rights: “Consent” is not a defense for them. You have the right to leave and report.
Use Good Faith Protections: Texas law and most school policies protect those who call 911 in an alcohol-related medical emergency.
Preserve Evidence Yourself: Take screenshots, photos, and notes. Tell a trusted friend or family member what happened.

8.3 Critical Mistakes That Can Ruin a Case

Deleting Digital Evidence: This is the single most damaging mistake.
Confronting the Fraternity/Sorority First: This triggers their defense strategy and evidence destruction.
Signing a University “Resolution” Agreement: These often include waivers of your right to sue.
Posting on Social Media: Defense attorneys will scour your accounts for anything to use against you.
Waiting Too Long: Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and the Texas statute of limitations (generally 2 years from injury) ticks away. Watch our video on statutes of limitations.

8.4 Short FAQ

Q: Can we sue a public university like UH or Texas A&M?
A: Yes, but sovereign immunity poses hurdles. We can sue for gross negligence, under Title IX, or by suing individual employees in their personal capacity. These cases often lead to substantial settlements.

Q: How much does it cost to hire Attorney911?
A: We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases. This means you pay no upfront fees. We only get paid if we win your case, taking a percentage of the recovery. Watch our video explaining contingency fees.

Q: Will my child’s name be public?
A: Most cases settle confidentially before trial. We aggressively protect our clients’ privacy and can often get court records sealed.

Q: What if the hazing happened at an off-campus Airbnb?
A: Location does not matter for liability. The university and national organization can still be responsible based on their relationship to the group and their knowledge of the risks.
