🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Kingfisher County

The Case That Shows Kingfisher County Families Why This Matters:

In November 2025, our client Leonel Bermudez — a young man excited about joining Pi Kappa Phi at the University of Houston — was subjected to weeks of systematic torture during pledge activities:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a technique considered torture when used on enemy combatants
• Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups — until his muscles broke down, causing rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
• Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
• Forced to eat until vomiting — then made to continue running while covered in vomit
• Another pledge collapsed unconscious — but the hazing continued

Result: Leonel spent four days in the hospital fighting for his life. The fraternity chapter was shut down — but only after our client was hospitalized.

Kingfisher County families: This isn’t just happening in Houston. The same fraternities operate at universities near Kingfisher County. The same “traditions” exist near Kingfisher County. The same negligence exists at Kingfisher County institutions.

We’re fighting this battle right now — and we’ll fight for Kingfisher County victims too.

🏛️ Universities Near Kingfisher County Have the Same Problems

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded. They collected rent while students were being tortured. They had a student hospitalized from hazing in 2017 — eight years before Leonel Bermudez was hospitalized — and did nothing to prevent it from happening again.

Universities near Kingfisher County face the same liability failures:

• They have the power to regulate Greek organizations
• They know hazing happens
• They fail to act until someone gets hurt
• Then they claim they’re “shocked” and “deeply disturbed”

Kingfisher County families: Your child’s university has the same responsibility to protect students. When they fail, we hold them accountable.

💰 Hazing Costs Millions — We Have the Receipts

Hazing isn’t “boys being boys.” It’s assault. It’s battery. It’s reckless endangerment. And it costs millions.

These are real verdicts and settlements from hazing cases:

Our $10 million demand for Leonel Bermudez is directly in line with these precedents. Kingfisher County families deserve the same justice.

⚖️ Kingfisher County Victims Have Legal Rights

Texas and Oklahoma Hazing Laws Protect Your Child

Definition of Hazing (Texas Education Code § 37.151):

Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, initiation, affiliation, holding office, or maintaining membership in an organization.

This includes:

• Physical brutality (paddling, beatings, forced exercise)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
• Sleep deprivation
• Exposure to elements
• Psychological abuse
• Any activity that creates unreasonable risk

Kingfisher County families: Most states have similar laws. If your child was hazed in Oklahoma, Texas, or anywhere else, they have legal rights.

Consent Is NOT a Defense

When fraternities argue:

• “He agreed to participate”
• “He knew what he was signing up for”
• “He could have left at any time”

The law says: CONSENT DOES NOT MATTER.

Texas Education Code § 37.154 explicitly states:

“It is not a defense to prosecution that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.”

Kingfisher County families: Your child’s participation does not excuse the fraternity’s illegal conduct.

🎯 Who Is Liable for Kingfisher County Hazing Victims?

When hazing happens, everyone who participated or allowed it is responsible:

📋 What Kingfisher County Families Should Do If Their Child Is Hazed

Immediate Action Protocol:

1. Get Medical Attention — Even if injuries seem minor, get checked immediately. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not appear right away.

2. Preserve All Evidence — Save everything:

   • Text messages, GroupMe chats, Snapchats, Instagram DMs
   • Photos and videos of injuries and hazing activities
   • Names and contact information of witnesses
   • Medical records and bills
   • Any items used in hazing (paddles, clothing, etc.)

3. Do NOT Talk to the Organization — Fraternities and universities will try to control the narrative. Do not give statements without legal counsel.

4. Do NOT Post on Social Media — Anything you post can be used against you.

5. Contact an Attorney Immediately — Call 1-888-ATTY-911. The statute of limitations is typically 2 years — but evidence disappears fast.

6. Consider Reporting to Authorities — Hazing is a crime in most states. We can help you navigate this process.
