🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Gibson County
In November 2025, Leonel Bermudez — a young man who wasn’t even enrolled at the University of Houston yet — was subjected to weeks of torture as part of Pi Kappa Phi’s pledge process:
- 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 forced to keep running
- Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
This wasn’t “tradition.” This was abuse. And it happens in Gibson County too.
⚠️ Gibson County Parents: Your Child Is at Risk
The same national fraternities that waterboarded our client operate at Gibson County universities:
- Pi Kappa Phi (the fraternity we’re suing)
- Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE)
- Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike)
- Phi Delta Theta
- Beta Theta Pi
- Sigma Chi
- Kappa Sigma
- And others
These organizations have paid MILLIONS in hazing settlements nationwide. They will pay for Gibson County victims too.
Universities in Gibson County have the same duty to protect students as UH did. When they fail, they must be held accountable.
