The Definitive Guide to Hazing & Campus Abuse: A Resource for Jourdanton, Texas Families

When you send your child off to college from Jourdanton, you envision a future of learning, growth, and new friendships. The nightmare scenario of them being harmed by the very organizations promising brotherhood or sisterhood feels distant. But consider this: a student from a community like ours, seeking connection at a Texas university, is at an off-campus fraternity house for a “big brother reveal.” Surrounded by chants, he’s pressured to consume excessive amounts of alcohol in a ritual passed down for years. Hours later, he’s alone, disoriented, and severely injured. His “brothers” hesitate to call for help, fearing consequences more than his safety. This is not a hypothetical. For families in Atascosa County and across Texas, hazing is a present and dangerous reality. This guide is for you—the parents, students, and community members in Jourdanton and throughout Texas who need to understand the truth about hazing, the law, and the path to accountability.

Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like in Texas

Hazing is not a relic of the past or simple “horseplay.” It is a calculated abuse of power that adapts to avoid detection. For Jourdanton families, understanding its modern forms is the first step toward recognizing danger.

A Clear, Modern Definition

Hazing is any forced, coerced, or strongly pressured action tied to joining, maintaining membership in, or gaining status within a group, where the behavior endangers physical or mental health, humiliates, or exploits. Critically, a student saying “I agreed to it” does not make it safe or legal under Texas law when peer pressure, power imbalance, and fear of exclusion are at play.

The Main Categories of Hazing Today

1. Alcohol and Substance Hazing: This remains the most common and deadly form. It includes forced chugging, “lineup” drinking games, “Big/Little” nights with handles of liquor, and trivia games where wrong answers mandate drinking. The goal is often rapid, dangerous intoxication.
2. Physical Hazing: This extends beyond paddling to include extreme, punitive calisthenics (“smokings” of hundreds of push-ups), sleep deprivation for days, exposure to extreme elements, and dangerous physical “tests” like blindfolded tackles.
3. Sexualized and Degrading Hazing: This involves forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, wearing humiliating costumes or props, and acts laden with racist, sexist, or homophobic overtones designed to strip away dignity.
4. Psychological Hazing: This includes sustained verbal abuse, isolation from non-members, threats of expulsion from the group, and forced confessions designed to create dependency and fear.
5. Digital Hazing: The newest frontier includes coercive control via 24/7 group chats (GroupMe, Discord), mandatory location sharing, social media dares or humiliation, and pressure to create compromising digital content.

Where Hazing Happens

While fraternities and sororities are often the focus, hazing pervades many groups:

• Fraternities and Sororities (Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic, National Pan-Hellenic Council, multicultural).
• Corps of Cadets, ROTC, and military-style groups.
• Athletic teams (from football and basketball to cheer and swim).
• Spirit and tradition organizations (like Texas Cowboys or Aggie Bonfire crew).
• Marching bands and performance groups.
• Some academic, service, and cultural clubs.

The common threads are tradition, secrecy, and an imbalance of power between new and existing members.

The Law & Liability Framework: Texas and Federal Statutes

Understanding the legal landscape is crucial for Jourdanton families seeking accountability. Texas has specific laws, and federal statutes add another layer of potential liability.

Texas Hazing Law (Education Code Chapter 37)

Texas law defines hazing broadly and treats it seriously. Under Chapter 37 of the Texas Education Code, hazing is any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, on or off campus, directed against a student for the purpose of joining, affiliating with, or maintaining membership in an organization, that:

• Endangers the mental or physical health or safety of the student.

Key Provisions for Jourdanton Families:

• Criminal Penalties: Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor. It becomes a Class A misdemeanor if it causes injury requiring medical treatment, and a State Jail Felony if it causes serious bodily injury or death.
• Consent is NOT a Defense: Texas law (§37.155) explicitly states that the victim’s consent is not a defense to prosecution. Courts recognize that “consent” under coercion is not voluntary.
• Organizational Liability: The fraternity, sorority, or club itself can be prosecuted and fined up to $10,000 per violation if it authorized or encouraged the hazing.
• Immunity for Reporting: Individuals who in good faith report hazing to authorities are immune from civil or criminal liability for their own minor involvement (like underage drinking). This “Good Samaritan” provision is critical for encouraging calls to 911.

Criminal vs. Civil Cases: Two Paths to Accountability

• Criminal Cases: Brought by the state (DA’s office). Aim is punishment—jail time, fines, probation. Charges can include hazing, furnishing alcohol to minors, assault, or even manslaughter.
• Civil Cases: Brought by the victim or their family. Aim is compensation for damages and accountability. These cases sue for negligence, wrongful death, emotional distress, and negligent supervision. A criminal conviction is not required to file a civil suit; they are separate tracks that can run simultaneously.

Federal Law Overlay

• The Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): Requires colleges receiving federal aid to publicly report hazing incidents and strengthen prevention programs, with full implementation by 2026.
• Title IX: If hazing involves sexual harassment or assault, it triggers the university’s Title IX obligations for investigation and response.
• The Clery Act: Requires universities to report certain crimes, including aggravated assault and liquor law violations, which often accompany hazing incidents.

Who Can Be Held Liable in a Civil Lawsuit?

A thorough investigation aims to identify every responsible party, which can include:

1. Individual Students: Those who planned, executed, or covered up the hazing.
2. The Local Chapter: As a legal entity, if it exists separately.
3. The National Fraternity/Sorority Headquarters: For failing to supervise, enforce policies, or for having prior knowledge of dangerous patterns.
4. The University/Board of Regents: For negligent supervision, deliberate indifference to known risks, or premises liability.
5. Third Parties: Landlords of off-campus houses, alcohol providers (under dram shop laws), or security companies.

National Hazing Case Patterns: The Anchor Stories That Shape the Law

Tragedies across the country have defined the modern understanding of hazing liability. These are not just news stories; they are legal precedents that directly impact what Texas families can expect in court.

The Alcohol Poisoning Pattern

• Timothy Piazza – Penn State, Beta Theta Pi (2017): A bid-acceptance night of extreme drinking led to fatal falls captured on the chapter’s own security cameras. Brothers delayed calling 911 for hours. The case resulted in dozens of criminal charges and Pennsylvania’s Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law.
• Max Gruver – LSU, Phi Delta Theta (2017): During a “Bible study” drinking game, Max was forced to drink when he answered questions incorrectly. He died of alcohol toxicity. This led to Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act, creating felony hazing penalties.
• Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State, Pi Kappa Alpha (2021): Forced to drink a bottle of whiskey on “Big/Little” night, Stone died of alcohol poisoning. The case resulted in a $10 million settlement ($7M from Pi Kappa Alpha national, ~$3M from BGSU) and criminal convictions.

Physical & Ritualized Violence

• Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi (2013): A blindfolded pledge was repeatedly tackled during a “glass ceiling” ritual at a remote retreat, suffering fatal head injuries. The national fraternity was criminally convicted of assault and manslaughter—a landmark case for organizational liability—and banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years.
• Danny Santulli – University of Missouri, Phi Gamma Delta (2021): Coerced into drinking a fatal amount of alcohol, Danny survived but suffered severe, permanent brain damage, requiring 24/7 care for life. His family reached multi-million-dollar settlements with 22 defendants.

Athletic Program Scandals

• Northwestern University Football (2023-2025): Allegations of widespread sexualized and racist hazing within the football program led to multiple lawsuits, the firing of the head coach, and confidential settlements, proving hazing is not confined to Greek life.

What This Means for Jourdanton Families: These cases create a playbook of foreseeability. When a Texas chapter repeats the same dangerous “traditions” that have caused death and injury elsewhere, it powerfully supports arguments that the national organization and university knew or should have known the risks.

Texas in Focus: Hazing at Major Universities Relevant to Jourdanton Families

Students from Jourdanton and Atascosa County attend universities across Texas. Understanding the specific landscape at these schools is vital. We will focus on the major hubs, starting with the active, serious case unfolding right now at the University of Houston.

The Flagship Case: Leonel Bermudez v. University of Houston & Pi Kappa Phi

Right now, we are actively litigating one of the most severe hazing cases in Texas. This case exemplifies the brutal reality of modern hazing and the complex web of liability.

The Victim: Leonel Bermudez, a transfer student and fall 2025 pledge of the Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu chapter at the University of Houston.
The Allegations: The lawsuit details a systematic campaign of abuse, including:

• Humiliation: Being forced to carry a “pledge fanny pack” 24/7 containing condoms, a sex toy, and other degrading items.
• Forced Labor: Mandatory overnight chauffeuring, hours-long “study blocks,” and weekly interviews.
• Extreme Physical Hazing: Sprints, bear crawls, “save-your-brother” drills, lying in vomit-soaked grass, and being sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding.”
• Dangerous Rituals: Forced consumption of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting, followed immediately by more sprints. A November 3rd “workout” of over 100 push-ups and 500 squats under threat of expulsion.
• Medical Catastrophe: Bermudez developed rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown) and acute kidney failure. He passed brown urine, could not stand, and was hospitalized for four days with critically high creatine kinase levels, facing a risk of permanent kidney damage.

The Defendants: The lawsuit names a full universe of responsible parties: the University of Houston, the UH System Board of Regents, Pi Kappa Phi’s national headquarters, the Beta Nu housing corporation, and 13 individual fraternity leaders and members.
The Response: Pi Kappa Phi HQ suspended the chapter on November 6, 2025. On November 14, chapter members voted to surrender their charter, shutting it down. UH called the conduct “deeply disturbing” and promised disciplinary and criminal action.

This case is not an isolated incident. It is a template for how hazing operates at major Texas universities. Families in Jourdanton need to know that similar patterns exist across the state.

University of Houston (UH)

For Jourdanton Families: UH is a major destination for Texas students. Its large, urban campus hosts an active Greek life community where the Pi Kappa Phi case unfolded.
Snapshot: A large public research university with a significant Greek system encompassing IFC fraternities, Panhellenic sororities, and multicultural councils.
Hazing Policy & Reporting: UH prohibits hazing on and off-campus and provides reporting channels through the Dean of Students and UHPD. The university is subject to Texas’s public reporting requirements under Chapter 37.
Documented Incidents: Beyond the active Pi Kappa Phi lawsuit, UH has suspended chapters for hazing violations in the past, including a Pi Kappa Alpha chapter in 2016 after a pledge suffered a lacerated spleen.
How a Case Proceeds: Investigations may involve UHPD and Houston Police. Civil suits are typically filed in Harris County courts. The active Bermudez case demonstrates our firm’s direct experience navigating this specific jurisdiction.

Texas A&M University

For Jourdanton Families: As a flagship state university, Texas A&M draws students from every Texas county, including Atascosa. Its unique Corps of Cadets culture presents specific hazing risks alongside traditional Greek life.
Snapshot: A massive university with a deeply traditional culture, a powerful Greek system, and the prominent Corps of Cadets.
Hazing Policy & Reporting: Governed by student conduct rules and specific Corps regulations. The university maintains disciplinary records.
Documented Incidents:

• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) – Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges alleged they were doused with substances including industrial-strength cleaner, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries. The chapter was suspended, and lawsuits were filed.
• Corps of Cadets Lawsuit (2023): A cadet alleged degrading hazing including being bound in a “roasted pig” position with an apple in his mouth. The lawsuit sought over $1 million in damages.
  How a Case Proceeds: Cases can involve the Texas A&M University Police Department and Brazos County law enforcement. Litigation often must address both university liability and the unique structure of the Corps.

University of Texas at Austin (UT)

For Jourdanton Families: UT Austin is another premier destination. It stands out for its relative transparency regarding hazing violations.
Snapshot: A leading public university with one of the nation’s largest and most visible Greek life communities.
Hazing Policy & Transparency: UT publishes an online Hazing Violations log, listing organizations, violations, and sanctions—a resource few universities provide. This public record is a powerful tool for families and attorneys to establish patterns.
Documented Incidents (From Public Log):

• Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): Sanctioned for directing new members to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics.
• Various Spirit & Tradition Groups: Organizations like the Texas Wranglers have faced sanctions for forced workouts and alcohol-related hazing.
  How a Case Proceeds: Jurisdiction may involve UTPD and Austin Police. The publicly available violation history can be instrumental in proving a university or national organization’s prior knowledge of risky behavior.

Southern Methodist University (SMU)

Snapshot: A private, affluent university in Dallas with a strong Greek life presence.
Hazing Policy & Reporting: As a private institution, SMU has its own conduct process but is still bound by Texas criminal hazing law. It offers anonymous reporting tools.
Documented Incidents:

• Kappa Alpha Order (2017): The chapter was suspended for multiple years following allegations of paddling, forced drinking, and sleep deprivation of new members.
  How a Case Proceeds: The private university status affects some procedural aspects, but civil discovery can compel the production of internal records that may not be public.

Baylor University

Snapshot: A private Baptist university in Waco with significant Greek life and a history of scrutiny over institutional responses to misconduct.
Hazing Policy & Reporting: Baylor has “zero tolerance” hazing policies within its student conduct code.
Documented Incidents:

• Baylor Baseball Hazing (2020): 14 players were suspended following a hazing investigation, highlighting that abuse occurs in athletic programs.
  How a Case Proceeds: Baylor’s religious affiliation does not shield it from civil liability for negligence. Cases often focus on institutional control and the duty to protect students.

Fraternities & Sororities: Connecting National Histories to Local Chapters

The letters on the house in College Station or Austin represent national organizations with long, documented histories. This history is not just background—it is evidence.

Why National Histories Matter in Court

National fraternities like Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Phi Delta Theta, and Pi Kappa Phi maintain extensive anti-hazing policies precisely because they have paid millions in settlements after deaths and injuries. When a local chapter at UT or Texas A&M engages in the same forced drinking ritual that killed a pledge at Bowling Green or LSU, it demonstrates foreseeability. The national organization cannot claim it was an unforeseeable “rogue” act. Their own manuals and legal payouts prove they knew the risk.

A Pattern of Conduct: Selected National Organizations

• Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike): National pattern of “Big/Little” alcohol hazing (Stone Foltz death at BGSU; other severe injuries). This pattern is directly relevant to chapters at UT, Texas A&M, and other Texas schools.
• Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE): One of the deadliest fraternities historically, with multiple alcohol-related deaths nationwide. Has faced serious lawsuits at Texas A&M (chemical burns) and UT Austin (assault allegations).
• Pi Kappa Phi: The national organization is a defendant in our active UH lawsuit following Andrew Coffey’s alcohol poisoning death at Florida State in 2017.
• Kappa Alpha Order: Has faced hazing suspensions at multiple schools, including SMU.

The Legal Strategy: Proving Institutional Knowledge

In litigation, we use this national history to show:

1. The national had constructive notice of the specific type of hazing risk.
2. Their policies were inadequate or unenforced.
3. Their failure to act decisively after prior incidents amounted to negligence.

For a Jourdanton family, this means the lawsuit isn’t just against the 20-year-olds in the chapter house. It’s about holding the well-funded, sophisticated national organization and the university that hosted them accountable for allowing a known danger to persist.

Building a Case: Evidence, Damages, and Strategic Investigation

If hazing has caused harm, building a powerful case requires immediate, systematic action. This is where experience matters most.

Critical Evidence in Modern Hazing Cases

1. Digital Communications: The #1 source of evidence. This includes GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord, and social media DMs. We work with digital forensics experts to recover deleted messages that show planning, boasting, threats, and cover-ups.
2. Photos & Videos: Content filmed by participants, shared in chats, or posted on social media. This provides irrefutable visual proof.
3. Internal Organization Documents: Pledge manuals, “tradition” lists, emails from officers, and risk management materials from the national headquarters (obtained through discovery).
4. University Records: Prior conduct files on the chapter, Clery Act reports, and internal investigation documents, which we obtain via subpoena or public records requests.
5. Medical & Psychological Records: Documenting the full extent of physical injury (ER reports, lab results for conditions like rhabdomyolysis) and psychological trauma (PTSD, depression, anxiety diagnoses).
6. Witness Testimony: Other pledges, former members, roommates, and bystanders who can corroborate the events and the culture.

Types of Recoverable Damages

In a civil lawsuit, the law seeks to compensate for all resulting harms:

• Economic Damages: All medical bills (emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, future therapy), lost wages, and loss of future earning capacity if injuries are permanent.
• Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for physical pain, emotional suffering, trauma, humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life.
• Wrongful Death Damages (for families): Funeral costs, loss of financial support, and the profound loss of love, companionship, and guidance.
• Punitive Damages: In cases of egregious conduct or cover-ups, courts may award damages to punish the defendants and deter future behavior.

Navigating Insurance and Multiple Defendants

Fraternities and universities carry insurance, but insurers often try to deny coverage by claiming hazing is an “intentional act.” Our experience is critical here. Mr. Lupe Peña, as a former insurance defense attorney, knows the tactics these companies use. We identify all potential policies—national, local, university, even homeowner’s policies of individual members—and fight to secure coverage for our clients. We build a case against the full “universe of defendants” to ensure there is a responsible party to provide compensation.

Practical Guides & FAQs for Jourdanton Parents and Students

For Parents: Warning Signs and Action Steps

Warning Signs Your Child May Be Being Hazed:

• Unexplained injuries, bruises, or burns.
• Extreme fatigue or sleep deprivation inconsistent with academics.
• Sudden secrecy about organization activities (“I can’t talk about it”).
• Personality changes: withdrawal, anxiety, depression, or irritability.
• Constant, anxious phone use related to group chats.
• Financial strain from unexplained “fines” or demands to buy alcohol.

What to Do If You Suspect Hazing:

1. Prioritize Safety & Health: If injured or intoxicated, seek medical care immediately.
2. Preserve Evidence: Help your child screenshot all relevant messages and photos. Do not delete anything.
3. Document: Write down everything your child tells you, with dates and names.
4. Consult an Attorney Early: Before reporting to the university or speaking to insurers, contact an experienced hazing lawyer. We can guide you on protecting evidence and navigating the process.
5. Report Strategically: With legal guidance, you may report to campus police, the Dean of Students, or local law enforcement.

For Students: Is This Hazing?

• Ask yourself: Would I do this if I had a real, pressure-free choice? Is it dangerous, degrading, or secret? If the answer is no, it’s hazing.
• Your “consent” under pressure is not a legal defense for them. Texas law protects you.
• To Exit Safely: You have the right to quit. Tell someone you trust first (parent, RA), then formally resign via email/text for documentation. Do not attend a “final meeting” where pressure or retaliation could occur.
• Reporting & Amnesty: Texas law and most university policies protect those who call 911 in a medical emergency from minor misconduct charges (like underage drinking). Saving a life comes first.

Critical Mistakes That Can Hurt a Case

1. Deleting Evidence: Preserve ALL digital communications. Deletion can look like a cover-up.
2. Confronting the Organization Directly: This triggers their defense team and leads to evidence destruction.
3. Signing University Paperwork Unreviewed: Universities may offer quick “resolutions” that waive your right to sue.
4. Posting on Social Media: Defense lawyers monitor everything. Inconsistencies can be used against you.
5. Waiting Too Long: Evidence disappears, witnesses scatter, and the statute of limitations passes.

Frequently Asked Questions

“Can we sue a university in Texas for hazing?”
Yes. While public universities have some sovereign immunity, exceptions exist for gross negligence, Title IX violations, and when suing individuals. Private universities like SMU and Baylor have fewer protections. Every case is fact-specific.

“Is hazing a felony in Texas?”
It can be. Hazing that causes serious bodily injury or death is a state jail felony. Individuals who fail to report hazing can also face misdemeanor charges.

“How long do we have to file a lawsuit?”
Generally, two years from the date of injury or death in Texas. However, specific circumstances can affect this deadline. Time is of the essence—contact an attorney immediately to protect your rights.

“What if it happened off-campus at a rental house?”
Location does not absolve liability. Universities and nationals can still be liable based on their relationship to the chapter and their knowledge of activities. Many major cases have involved off-campus locations.
