🚨 What Happened in Houston — And What’s Happening Near Haywood County
The Reality of Hazing in America
Hazing isn’t “tradition.” It isn’t “building brotherhood.” It’s torture. It’s assault. It’s criminal.
And it’s happening at universities near Haywood County right now.
In Our Current Case:
- A young man accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi at University of Houston
- He was waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning
- He was forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until his muscles broke down
- He was struck with wooden paddles
- He was forced to eat until vomiting, then forced to keep running through his own vomit
- He collapsed and couldn’t stand
- His mother rushed him to the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
- He spent 4 days fighting for his life
This isn’t an isolated incident. This is happening at universities near Haywood County. The same fraternities. The same abuse. The same negligence.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Haywood County?
When your child is hazed, everyone who allowed it is responsible. We sue:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing culture; failed to supervise |
| University | Failed to protect students despite knowing hazing happens |
| Housing Corporation | Owned property where hazing occurred |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing |
| Chapter Officers | Directed and allowed hazing activities |
We don’t just sue broke college students. We go after the institutions with money and insurance — the universities, the national organizations, the property owners.
💰 Multi-Million Dollar Precedents — Haywood County Families Can Win
Hazing cases result in massive settlements and verdicts. Here’s what juries and courts have awarded:
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 MILLION |
| Maxwell Gruver | Louisiana State | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 MILLION jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ MILLION (estimated) |
| Andrew Coffey | Florida State | Pi Kappa Phi | Confidential multi-million settlement |
Our $10 million demand is conservative. These cases prove that when institutions fail to protect students, they pay.

Definition: Any activity expected of someone joining a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them, regardless of willingness to participate.
