π¨ Hazing Victims in Furnas County Deserve Justice β We Fight for Nebraska Families
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Furnas County, Nebraska β you are not alone. We are fighting this battle right now.
At Attorney 911, we are currently representing a hazing victim in a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston for extreme abuse that hospitalized our client with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. This same fraternity has chapters at universities near Furnas County. The same negligence exists at Nebraska institutions. And we will fight for Furnas County families with the same aggression.
π₯ This Happens in Nebraska Too β We Know the Signs
Our client 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 he vomited, then made to run through his own vomit
- Hospitalized for 4 days with severe muscle breakdown and kidney failure
This is not “tradition.” This is torture. This is assault. And it happens at Nebraska colleges too.
π Nebraska Universities and Greek Life β The Same Risks Exist Here
Furnas County is home to dedicated families who send their children to college expecting them to be safe. But the reality is:
- National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Pi Kappa Alpha have active chapters at Nebraska universities
- Hazing is widespread β studies show 55% of students in Greek organizations experience hazing
- Universities often fail to act until someone is hospitalized or dies
- The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist at Nebraska fraternities and sororities
If your child attends or plans to attend college near Furnas County, they face the same risks.
βοΈ Nebraska Hazing Laws β You Have Rights
Nebraska has strong anti-hazing laws that protect students:
Nebraska Revised Statute Β§ 28-311.06 β Hazing Defined
Hazing includes any activity that:
- Endangers the physical or mental health of a student
- Is required for membership in an organization
- Includes physical brutality, forced consumption, sleep deprivation, or humiliation
Nebraska Revised Statute Β§ 28-311.07 β Criminal Penalties
- Class I misdemeanor β up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine
- Class IV felony β if the hazing causes serious bodily injury (1-5 years in prison)
- Organizations can be fined up to $10,000
Civil Liability
Victims can sue for:
- Medical bills
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)
Most importantly β consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says it doesn’t matter.
π° Hazing Cases Win Millions β Nebraska Families Can Too
We are currently suing for $10 million in our Texas case. Here’s what other hazing victims have won:
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 million settlement |
| Maxwell Gruver | LSU | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ million settlement |
| Adam Oakes | VCU | Delta Chi | $4+ million settlement |
These same results are possible for Nebraska victims. We know how to build these cases, and we know how to win.
π Warning Signs of Hazing β What Furnas County Parents Should Watch For
Hazing is often hidden, but there are warning signs:
| Physical Signs | Behavioral Signs | Academic Signs |
|---|---|---|
| Unexplained bruises, cuts, or burns | Sudden withdrawal from friends/family | Drop in grades |
| Extreme fatigue or exhaustion | Secretive about activities | Skipping classes |
| Difficulty walking or moving | Anxiety or depression | Withdrawing from school |
| Passing dark/brown urine (sign of rhabdomyolysis) | Fear of retribution | |
| Sudden weight loss | Avoiding certain people | |
| Hospitalization for “unknown illness” | Changes in sleep patterns |
If your child shows these signs β ask questions. Hazing is not always obvious, but the consequences are real.

π’ Who We Sue for Nebraska Hazing Victims

| University | Failed to protect students; had power to stop hazing |

| Housing Corporations | Owned property where hazing occurred |

We don’t just sue broke college students β we go after the institutions with deep pockets.
π― Our Message to Nebraska Fraternities and Universities
To the fraternities and sororities operating near Furnas County:
We are watching. The same legal strategies that secured $10+ million verdicts nationwide apply to your chapter. If you haze students in Nebraska, we will pursue every liable entity. We already shut down the Pi Kappa Phi chapter at UH. Your chapter could be next.
To the universities near Furnas County:
The same institutional negligence that made University of Houston a defendant exists at your campus. Act now or face the same accountability.
