What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Nevada)

Hazing is any activity that endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in a group.

In Nevada, hazing is a crime. Under NRS 200.605, hazing that causes bodily harm or death is a misdemeanor or felony, depending on severity.

Common Hazing Activities That Are Illegal in Humboldt County:

❌ Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, chugging)
❌ Physical abuse (paddling, beatings, branding)
❌ Extreme exercise (forced workouts until collapse)
❌ Waterboarding or simulated drowning
❌ Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, forced driving)
❌ Forced eating (until vomiting or choking)
❌ Psychological torture (humiliation, threats, isolation)
❌ Sexual assault or harassment

If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed—and you have legal rights.

Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Humboldt County?

Hazing isn’t just the fault of individual students—institutions can be held legally responsible too. In our current case, we’re suing:

✔ The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly responsible for hazing)
✔ The national fraternity/sorority organization (failed to supervise)
✔ The university or school (failed to protect students)
✔ Individual members (participated in or allowed hazing)

If hazing happened in Humboldt County, we will identify every responsible party and hold them accountable.

What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Humboldt County

Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately

If your child is injured, go to the hospital or urgent care right away. Hazing injuries like rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), alcohol poisoning, or concussions can be life-threatening if untreated.

Humboldt General Hospital (Winnemucca) is the nearest full-service hospital.

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Hazing cases are won or lost based on evidence. Save:
✅ Text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, emails
✅ Photos/videos of injuries or hazing activities
✅ Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes)
✅ Names and contact info of witnesses
✅ Any documents from the organization (pledge manuals, schedules)

Do NOT delete anything—even if it seems embarrassing or minor.

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Organization Without a Lawyer

Fraternities, sororities, and schools will try to control the narrative, destroy evidence, or pressure your child into silence. Do not speak to them without legal representation.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

Hazing cases have strict deadlines. In Nevada, you typically have 2 years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. The sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

$10 Million Hazing Lawsuit – What This Means for Humboldt County

Our current $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston proves that hazing cases win big settlements. Here’s what happened in that case—and why it matters for Humboldt County:

What Happened:

• A University of Houston fraternity (Pi Kappa Phi) hazed a pledge through waterboarding, forced eating, 500 squats, and wooden paddles.
• The victim collapsed, couldn’t walk, and was hospitalized for 4 days with kidney failure.
• The fraternity knew about a “hazing crisis” but did nothing to stop it.
• The university owned the fraternity house but failed to prevent the abuse.

Why This Matters for Humboldt County:

✅ The same fraternities operate near Humboldt County. Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and other national organizations have chapters across Nevada.
✅ Universities near Humboldt County have the same liability. If a school owns or controls a fraternity house, they can be held responsible for hazing.
✅ Hazing is happening in Humboldt County right now. Just because it hasn’t made the news doesn’t mean it isn’t occurring.
✅ $10 million is possible for Humboldt County victims. Our case proves that hazing lawsuits can result in life-changing compensation.
