π¨ Hazing Lawyers in Liberty County: Protecting Students from Fraternity and Sorority Abuse
If your child was hazed at a college near Liberty County, you have legal rights β and powerful legal options.

At Attorney 911, we’re fighting this battle right now. We’re currently representing a hazing victim in a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston β a case involving waterboarding, forced exercise until kidney failure, and a fraternity culture that prioritizes “tradition” over student safety.
Liberty County families: This same hazing happens at universities near you. The same fraternities operate near Liberty County. The same negligence exists at Liberty County institutions. And we will fight for Liberty County victims with the same aggression we’re bringing to this landmark case.

π¨ What Is Happening to Students Near Liberty County?
You’ve seen the headlines about hazing deaths and injuries across America. But what you may not realize is that this isn’t just happening at big-name schools far away β it’s happening at universities near Liberty County, and it’s happening to Liberty County students.
The Reality of Hazing Near Liberty County:
- Fraternities and sororities near Liberty County engage in the same dangerous “traditions” that have killed and hospitalized students nationwide
- Universities near Liberty County have the same oversight failures that allow hazing to continue
- National Greek organizations with chapters near Liberty County have paid millions in settlements β yet the abuse continues
- Liberty County students are being subjected to waterboarding, forced drinking, extreme physical punishment, and psychological torture β right now
The Case That Shows Liberty County Families Why This Matters
We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. Our client, Leonel Bermudez, was subjected to:
- Waterboarding with a garden hose β simulated drowning as punishment
- Forced to perform 500 squats, 100 pushups, and other extreme exercises β until he collapsed and couldn’t stand
- Struck with wooden paddles β physical assault with weapons
- Forced to eat until vomiting, then forced to continue exercising β while lying in vomit-soaked grass
- Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure β his muscles literally broke down from the abuse
This happened in Houston. But the same thing is happening to students near Liberty County.
Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America β including near Liberty County. If they’re waterboarding students in Houston, how many other chapters near Liberty County are doing the same?
π Liberty County Families: Is Your Child at Risk?
Hazing doesn’t just happen at fraternities. It happens in:
- Fraternities and sororities near Liberty County
- Sports teams at Liberty County universities
- Marching bands and music groups
- ROTC programs
- Honor societies and academic clubs
- Any student organization that uses “initiation” as an excuse for abuse

If you notice any of these signs in your Liberty County student, they may be experiencing hazing β and they may be in danger.
