Hazing at Texas Universities: A Comprehensive Guide for Goliad Families

If you are a parent in Goliad, your deepest instinct is to protect your child. You’ve supported them through high school, cheered them on, and sent them off to a Texas university with hope for their future. The last thing you expect is a phone call—or worse, a visit to the emergency room—because your son or daughter was brutally hazed while trying to join a campus organization.

Right now, in Houston, we are fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in the country. Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student and pledge of the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter, suffered catastrophic injuries in the fall of 2025. He was subjected to extreme physical and psychological abuse, including being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding,” forced to consume massive quantities of food until he vomited, and made to perform hundreds of push-ups and squats under threat of expulsion. The result was rhabdomyolysis—severe skeletal muscle breakdown—and acute kidney failure. His urine turned brown, he was hospitalized for four days, and he faces an ongoing risk of permanent kidney damage. The Pi Kappa Phi chapter has been shut down, and a $10 million lawsuit is underway.

This is not an isolated incident in a far-off state. This happened at the University of Houston, a school where students from Goliad and across Texas South Texas build their futures. Hazing is a present and dangerous reality on Texas campuses, from the University of Houston and Texas A&M to UT Austin, SMU, and Baylor. This guide is for you—parents and families in Goliad, Victoria, Cuero, and throughout Goliad County—who need to understand the risks, recognize the signs, and know your legal rights when tradition turns into trauma.

Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like in Texas

Hazing has evolved far beyond the stereotypical “prank.” It is a calculated system of coercion, humiliation, and abuse designed to test loyalty through power imbalance. For Goliad families, understanding its modern forms is the first step in protection.

Hazing is defined under Texas law as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, on or off campus, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of joining or maintaining membership in a group. Critically, a victim’s “consent” is not a defense.

The Four Tiers of Modern Hazing

1. Subtle Hazing: The Gateway
Often dismissed as “tradition” or “team building,” this establishes control. It includes:

• Mandatory Servitude: Acting as a 24/7 designated driver, cleaning members’ rooms, running personal errands.
• Social Control: Being “on call” via group chat, required to respond instantly at all hours.
• Deception: Being told to lie to parents, RAs, or university officials about activities.
• Identity Stripping: Being assigned a derogatory nickname or uniform.

2. Harassment Hazing: Creating a Hostile Environment
This causes emotional and physical discomfort, including:

• Sleep Deprivation: Late-night “study sessions” or 3 AM wake-up calls for meaningless tasks.
• Verbal Abuse: Yelling, screaming, humiliation in front of peers.
• Forced Consumption: Eating excessive amounts of bland food (milk, bread, hot dogs) or unpleasant substances.
• Psychological Torment: “Grilling” sessions with personal attacks, threats of expulsion from the group.

3. Violent Hazing: Criminal Assault
These acts have a high potential for serious injury or death:

• Forced/Coerced Alcohol Consumption: “Big/Little” nights, “family tree” drinking games, lineups, keg stands. This is the leading cause of hazing deaths nationwide.
• Physical Beatings: Paddling, punching, kicking, “smokings” (extreme calisthenics to the point of collapse).
• Sexualized Hazing: Forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, degrading positions.
• Dangerous Environments: Locked in freezing rooms, left outside in extreme weather, “kidnapping” pledges.

4. Digital Hazing: The 24/7 Abuser
The newest frontier uses technology to extend control:

• Group Chat Terrorism: Constant demands, humiliation, and threats in GroupMe or Discord.
• Social Media Humiliation: Forced to post embarrassing content on TikTok or Instagram stories.
• Geo-Tracking: Required to share live location via Find My Friends or Snapchat Maps.
• Evidence Creation: Hazing acts are recorded and shared in private chats for entertainment.

Where Hazing Happens: It is not limited to fraternities. In Texas, we see dangerous hazing in:

• Sororities
• Corps of Cadets and ROTC units
• Athletic Teams (football, baseball, cheer)
• Spirit Groups (Texas Cowboys, Hellraisers)
• Marching Bands
• Academic and Cultural Clubs

The common threads are secrecy, power imbalance, and the manipulation of tradition. For a student from a close-knit community like Goliad, the desire to belong can make them especially vulnerable to these tactics.

Texas Hazing Law & Liability: What Goliad Families Need to Know

Texas has specific laws governing hazing, but navigating the legal landscape requires understanding both criminal penalties and civil liability. As Texas-based attorneys, we help families across the state, from Goliad to Houston, understand their rights under this framework.

Texas Education Code Chapter 37: The Criminal Framework

The Texas hazing statute provides clear definitions and penalties:

• Definition: Hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers a student’s physical or mental health for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or membership.
• Key Provision – Consent is Irrelevant: Texas Education Code § 37.155 explicitly states that the victim’s consent is not a defense. This destroys the common excuse, “They wanted to do it.”
• Criminal Penalties:
  • 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 for Reporters: Individuals who in good faith report hazing or call for medical help are generally immune from civil or criminal liability for their own minor involvement (like underage drinking).

Civil Liability: The Path to Accountability and Compensation

A criminal case is brought by the state to punish offenders. A civil lawsuit is filed by the victim or their family to recover damages and hold all responsible parties accountable. They can proceed simultaneously.

In a civil hazing case, we look to build liability against a full universe of defendants:

1. Individual Perpetrators: The members who planned, executed, or covered up the hazing.
2. The Local Chapter: The fraternity, sorority, or club as an entity.
3. The National Organization: Headquarters that collect dues, set policies, and oversee chapters. Their knowledge of prior incidents at other schools is crucial.
4. The University: Schools can be liable for negligent supervision if they knew or should have known about a dangerous pattern and failed to act. Public universities like UH, Texas A&M, and UT have some sovereign immunity, but exceptions exist for gross negligence.
5. Property Owners & Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, bars that overserve alcohol (under Texas dram shop law).

Federal Law Overlay

• The Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): Requires colleges receiving federal aid to report hazing incidents more transparently and strengthen prevention programs by 2026.
• Title IX: If hazing involves sexual harassment or assault, federally funded schools have a duty to investigate and address it.
• Clery Act: Requires reporting of certain campus crimes, which can include hazing-related assaults.

For a family in Goliad, this means a hazing incident at a Texas public university triggers a complex web of state and federal obligations. Having an attorney who understands both is critical.

National Hazing Cases: The Patterns That Repeat in Texas

The tragic hazing deaths and injuries that make national headlines are not random. They follow predictable scripts—scripts that have been repeated at Texas institutions. Understanding these patterns shows why universities and national fraternities are often on notice long before a local tragedy occurs.

The Alcohol Poisoning Script: “Big/Little Night”

• Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State University (Pi Kappa Alpha, 2021): A 20-year-old pledge was forced to drink an entire bottle of liquor during a “Big/Little” event. He died of alcohol poisoning. The result: a $10 million settlement, criminal convictions, and the chapter’s closure.
• Max Gruver – LSU (Phi Delta Theta, 2017): Pledge died after a “Bible study” drinking game where wrong answers meant forced drinking. His death led to Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act, a felony hazing law.
• Andrew Coffey – Florida State University (Pi Kappa Phi, 2017): Died of alcohol poisoning after a “Big Brother” night. His case led to a temporary shutdown of all Greek life at FSU.

The Texas Connection: The forced consumption of alcohol is a universal hazing tactic. Whether at a UH fraternity house or a Texas A&M off-campus retreat, the dynamics are identical.

The Physical Torture Script: “Tradition”

• Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College (Pi Delta Psi, 2013): Pledge was blindfolded, weighted down, and repeatedly tackled during a “glass ceiling” ritual at a retreat. He died from traumatic brain injury. The national fraternity was criminally convicted and banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years.
• Timothy Piazza – Penn State (Beta Theta Pi, 2017): Death after a bid-acceptance night involving extreme drinking and falls. The case resulted in hundreds of criminal charges and Timothy’s Law in Pennsylvania.

The Texas Connection: The Leonel Bermudez case at UH mirrors this pattern: extreme, repetitive physical exertion designed to break down the pledge, leading to catastrophic medical consequences.

The Institutional Failure Script: Athletics & Beyond

• Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): A widespread scandal involving alleged sexualized and racist hazing led to multiple lawsuits, the firing of the head coach, and confidential settlements.
• Robert Champion – Florida A&M University (Marching Band, 2011): A drum major died from a brutal beating during a band hazing ritual. FAMU was held fully liable, resulting in a $1 million settlement.

The Texas Connection: From hazing allegations within the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets to spirit groups at UT Austin, the failure of institutions to curb known, dangerous traditions is a common thread in civil litigation.

These national cases provide the pattern evidence and legal precedents that skilled hazing attorneys use to prove that a Texas incident was foreseeable and preventable.

Texas University Focus: Where Goliad Students Are at Risk

Students from Goliad County attend universities across Texas. Whether your child is at a nearby school like Texas A&M University-Kingsville or has gone further to UT Austin or Baylor, understanding the specific landscape of each campus is vital.

University of Houston (UH)

For Goliad Families: UH is a major destination for South Texas students. Its large, commuter-heavy campus has a significant Greek life presence where hazing can fester in off-campus houses.

Recent Critical Case – Leonel Bermudez v. UH & Pi Kappa Phi:
This active, high-stakes lawsuit, filed in late 2025, is a flagship example of severe hazing. Bermudez, a UH student, pledged the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter. The alleged hazing included:

• A degrading “pledge fanny pack” rule.
• Forced, extreme workouts at Yellowstone Boulevard Park and other locations.
• Being sprayed with a hose “similar to waterboarding.”
• Forced consumption of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns leading to vomiting.
  The hazing caused rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure, requiring a four-day hospitalization. The chapter was suspended and then voted to surrender its charter. The lawsuit names UH, the UH System Board of Regents, Pi Kappa Phi nationals, the chapter housing corporation, and 13 individual members as defendants.

UH’s Hazing Policy & Reality: UH prohibits hazing and has reporting channels through the Dean of Students. However, as the Bermudez case shows, policies alone do not prevent abuse. Investigations often reveal a gap between official stance and on-the-ground enforcement.

If Hazing Happens at UH: Jurisdiction may involve UHPD or the Houston Police Department. Civil cases are typically filed in Harris County courts. Immediate evidence preservation from group chats like GroupMe is essential, as digital records are often deleted within days.

Texas A&M University

For Goliad Families: Texas A&M’s culture of tradition is powerful. This includes both its robust Greek life and the unique, military-style Corps of Cadets—environments where hazing can be disguised as “discipline” or “team building.”

Documented Incidents:

• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged they were forced to exercise and then doused with a mixture including industrial-strength cleaner and raw eggs, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries. A lawsuit sought $1 million.
• Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Allegations (2023): A lawsuit alleged a cadet was subjected to degrading hazing, including being bound between beds in a simulated sexual position with an apple in his mouth. The suit sought over $1 million in damages.

The Corps Dynamic: The Corps of Cadets operates with its own strict chain of command, which can insulate bad behavior from university oversight. Proving institutional knowledge is a key part of building a case.

If Hazing Happens at Texas A&M: Cases may involve the College Station Police Department and Brazos County courts. The university’s internal conduct process runs parallel but does not preclude a civil lawsuit for damages.

University of Texas at Austin (UT)

For Goliad Families: UT Austin’s Greek life is large and prominent. The university has taken a relatively transparent approach by publicly posting hazing violations—a resource that can be used in litigation to show prior knowledge.

Public Hazing Violations (Examples from UT’s Log):

• Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members were directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics. Sanction: Probation and mandatory hazing prevention education.
• Spirit Groups & Others: Various organizations have been sanctioned for forced workouts, alcohol-related hazing, and punishment-based activities.

The Value of Transparency: UT’s public log is a double-edged sword. It shows the university is taking action, but it also creates a clear record of which organizations have known problems—evidence we use to prove patterns and foreseeability in civil suits.

If Hazing Happens at UT Austin: Incidents may fall under UTPD or Austin Police Department jurisdiction. Civil suits are typically filed in Travis County. The public violation history can significantly strengthen a victim’s case.

Southern Methodist University (SMU) & Baylor University

For Goliad Families: These private, faith-affiliated universities have strong Greek cultures and reputations to protect, which can affect how they handle hazing reports internally.

• SMU: Has dealt with hazing incidents, such as a 2017 Kappa Alpha Order case involving paddling and forced drinking. As a private institution, it has less public transparency than state schools, making discovery in litigation crucial.
• Baylor: Has faced scrutiny over campus safety following prior scandals. Hazing incidents, like a 2020 baseball team hazing that led to multiple player suspensions, occur within this complex institutional context.

The Private University Challenge: Less freedom-of-information access means building a case requires aggressive litigation discovery to uncover internal reports and prior complaints.

The Organizations Behind the Letters: National Histories Matter

When a hazing incident occurs at a Texas chapter, its national organization’s history is directly relevant. National fraternities and sororities are not blank slates; they have risk management policies precisely because they have long histories of deadly incidents. This history creates foreseeability—a key legal concept meaning they knew or should have known the risks.

National Patterns with Texas Chapters

• Pi Kappa Alpha (“Pike”): The national organization has faced multiple high-profile deaths (Stone Foltz at BGSU, David Bogenberger at NIU). When a Texas chapter engages in forced drinking rituals, we argue the national had ample notice of the danger.
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): SAE has been involved in numerous hazing deaths and injuries across the country, leading it to famously abolish the “pledge” status in 2014. Its chapters at Texas A&M and UT have been sued for severe hazing, showing the policy’s limited effect.
• Pi Kappa Phi: The death of Andrew Coffey at FSU is part of the national’s history. The severe physical hazing alleged in the UH case involving their chapter fits a pattern of abuse.
• Phi Delta Theta: The death of Max Gruver at LSU is a permanent part of this fraternity’s record.

In a lawsuit, we subpoena the national organization’s records to show:

• Prior incident reports from the same Texas chapter.
• Communications between the chapter and nationals about “risk management.”
• Training materials that were ignored or inadequately enforced.
• The national’s knowledge of similar incidents at other chapters.

This evidence is used to defeat the common defense: “This was a rogue chapter; we didn’t know.” We prove they should have known and failed in their duty to supervise.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Damages, and Strategy for Texas Families

If your family is facing the aftermath of hazing, you need more than a sympathetic ear; you need a strategic plan. At Attorney911, we approach hazing cases with the same systematic rigor we use in billion-dollar refinery explosion litigation.

The Evidence Engine: What Wins Cases in 2025

Modern hazing lives on smartphones. Our investigative priority is to secure digital evidence before it vanishes.

1. Digital Communications: We work with digital forensics experts to recover deleted GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Discord chats. These threads show planning, boasting, threats, and cover-up attempts.
2. Social Media & Photo/Video: Screenshots and recovered files from Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok can provide visual proof of injuries, locations, and participants.
3. Internal Organization Records: Through discovery, we obtain pledge manuals, chapter meeting minutes, and emails that reveal a culture of hazing.
4. University Files: We subpoena prior conduct reports, Clery Act logs, and internal investigation files to prove the university had prior knowledge of problems.
5. Medical Evidence: Comprehensive records are crucial, especially for insidious injuries like rhabdomyolysis or traumatic brain injury. We collaborate with medical experts to explain the direct cause and long-term impact.
6. Witness Testimony: Other pledges, former members, and roommates are often key to breaking the code of silence.

Understanding Damages: What Can Be Recovered

A civil lawsuit seeks to make the victim whole and hold defendants accountable. Recoverable damages include:

• Economic Damages:
  • All past and future medical expenses (ER, hospitalization, surgery, therapy).
  • Lost wages and diminished future earning capacity (if injuries prevent a chosen career).
  • Educational costs (lost tuition, missed semesters).
• Non-Economic Damages:
  • Physical pain and suffering.
  • Emotional distress, humiliation, and psychological trauma (PTSD, depression, anxiety).
  • Loss of enjoyment of life.
• Wrongful Death Damages (for families):
  • Funeral and burial costs.
  • Loss of companionship, love, and financial support.
  • Emotional anguish of the surviving family.

In cases involving gross negligence or intentional conduct, punitive damages may also be sought to punish the defendants and deter future conduct.

Navigating Insurance & Institutional Defenses

National fraternities and universities have large insurance policies and aggressive defense lawyers. Their common defenses include:

• “The pledge consented.” (Defeated by Texas law §37.155)
• “This was a rogue act; the national didn’t know.” (Defeated by pattern evidence)
• “It happened off-campus; we’re not responsible.” (Defeated by negligent supervision claims)
• “The university has sovereign immunity.” (We argue exceptions for gross negligence and Title IX violations)

Our advantage is insider knowledge. Mr. Lupe Peña spent years as an insurance defense attorney for national firms. He knows how insurers value claims, deploy delay tactics, and fight coverage. We use this knowledge to anticipate and counter their strategies from day one.

Practical Guides & FAQs for Goliad Parents and Students

For Parents: Recognizing & Responding

Warning Signs Your Child May Be Being Hazed:

• Unexplained injuries (bruises, burns, limping).
• Extreme exhaustion, sleep deprivation.
• Sudden secrecy about group activities.
• Personality changes: anxiety, depression, withdrawal.
• Constant, anxious phone use related to group chats.
• Requests for unusual amounts of money for “fines” or “supplies.”

What to Do if You Suspect Hazing:

1. Talk Calmly: Ask open-ended questions. “How are things going with your fraternity/sorority/team? Is there anything that makes you uncomfortable?”
2. Prioritize Safety: If there is immediate danger, call 911.
3. Preserve Evidence: Help your child screenshot messages and photograph injuries. Write down what they tell you.
4. Seek Medical Care: Even without obvious injury, a check-up can document stress and catch conditions like dehydration.
5. Consult an Attorney BEFORE Reporting: Once you report to the university, the organization may circle the wagons. An attorney can help you navigate the process to protect your child’s rights and the integrity of the evidence.

For Students: Your Rights & Safety

• You Have the Right to Leave. No tradition is worth your life or health.
• You Have the Right to Report Anonymously. Most Texas schools have anonymous hotlines.
• Texas Law Protects Good-Faith Reporters. If you call 911 for someone in medical distress, you generally will not get in trouble for minor related misconduct (like underage drinking).
• Preserve Evidence. Take screenshots, photos, and notes. Send them to a trusted parent or friend for safekeeping.

Critical Mistakes That Can Damage a Case

1. Deleting Evidence: “Cleaning up” group chats is often interpreted as obstruction.
2. Confronting the Organization Directly: This triggers internal defenses and evidence destruction.
3. Signing University Resolution Forms Without Legal Advice: You may unknowingly waive your right to sue.
4. Posting on Social Media: Defense attorneys monitor everything; inconsistencies can be used against you.
5. Waiting Too Long: Evidence disappears, witnesses graduate, and the two-year statute of limitations in Texas continues to tick.

Frequently Asked Questions

“Can we sue the university?”
Yes, under specific circumstances. Public universities are not completely immune. We investigate to see if their prior knowledge and failure to act rose to the level of gross negligence.

“How long do we have to file a lawsuit?”
Generally, two years from the date of injury in Texas. However, the discovery rule and fraudulent concealment can affect this. Do not wait.

“Will our name be public?”
Most cases settle confidentially before trial. We aggressively protect our clients’ privacy throughout the process.

“How much will this cost?”
We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no upfront fees. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you. If we do not win, you do not pay attorney’s fees.
