🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Grant County – What Parents Need to Know

Hazing Doesn’t Just Happen at Big Universities

Many Grant County families assume hazing is a problem at large state schools—not at smaller colleges like Taylor University or Indiana Wesleyan. But the truth is:

✅ National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and Kappa Sigma have active chapters near Grant County
✅ Hazing occurs in fraternities, sororities, sports teams, marching bands, and even honor societies
✅ The same dangerous “traditions” that hospitalized our client happen right here in Indiana

What Grant County Parents Are Seeing

If your child is involved in Greek life or student organizations, watch for these red flags of hazing:

🚩 Sleep deprivation – Forced late nights, early mornings, or all-night activities
🚩 Forced consumption – Being pressured to drink alcohol, eat until vomiting, or consume dangerous substances
🚩 Extreme physical punishment – Excessive exercise, paddling, or other physical abuse
🚩 Psychological torture – Waterboarding, humiliation, threats, or isolation
🚩 Servitude – Being forced to run errands, clean, or perform personal tasks for members

If you notice these signs, your child may be in danger—and you need to act fast.

💔 The Case That Shows What Hazing Really Looks Like

This Happened in Texas. It’s Happening in Grant County Too.

Leonel Bermudez wasn’t even a student at the University of Houston when he was hazed. He was a “ghost rush”—a prospective member expected to transfer the next semester. Pi Kappa Phi recruited him, tortured him, and sent him to the hospital with kidney failure.

What They Did to Him:

🔴 Waterboarded him with a garden hose – Simulated drowning, a form of torture
🔴 Forced him to do 500 squats and 100 pushups – Until he collapsed and couldn’t stand
🔴 Struck him with wooden paddles – Physical assault with weapons
🔴 Forced him to eat until he vomited – Then made him keep running
🔴 Hog-tied another pledge – Left him face-down with an object in his mouth for over an hour
🔴 Another pledge lost consciousness – They kept going

Result: Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney failure – 4 days in the hospital.

Why This Matters to Grant County Families

• The same fraternities operate near Grant County – Pi Kappa Phi has chapters at Indiana Wesleyan and other Indiana schools
• The same “traditions” exist in Grant County – Waterboarding, forced drinking, and physical abuse happen here too
• Universities near Grant County are just as liable – If a school owns the fraternity house or has oversight power, they can be sued
• This could happen to your child – And if it does, we will fight for you just like we’re fighting for Leonel

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Grant County Hazing Victim

Indiana Hazing Laws – What You Need to Know

Indiana has strong anti-hazing laws that protect students:

📜 Indiana Code § 35-42-2-2 – Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail)
📜 If hazing causes serious injury – It becomes a Level 6 felony (up to 2.5 years in prison)
📜 Consent is NOT a defense – Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent doesn’t matter
📜 Organizations can be held liable – Fraternities, sororities, and universities can be sued

Who Can Be Sued in a Grant County Hazing Case?

We pursue everyone responsible for your child’s injuries:

In our Pi Kappa Phi case, we’re suing:

• The fraternity chapter
• Pi Kappa Phi National
• The University of Houston (they owned the house)
• Individual members
• Former members who hosted hazing

We’ll do the same for Grant County families.
