🚨 Hazing Victims in Limestone County, Alabama: You Are Not Alone

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Limestone County, we can help.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. A young man was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure—all as part of a “pledge process” that was supposed to build brotherhood.

This isn’t happening just in Houston. It’s happening right here near Limestone County.

The same fraternities operate at universities across Alabama. The same negligence exists at institutions throughout the state. And the same fear keeps victims silent.

⚠️ What Counts as Hazing? Alabama Law and Your Rights

Alabama has strict anti-hazing laws. Under Alabama Code § 16-1-23, hazing is defined as:

“Any willful action taken or situation created, whether on or off campus, that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into, affiliation with, or continued membership in a student organization.”

Examples of Hazing That Are Illegal in Alabama:

✔ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
✔ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or non-food substances (e.g., eating until vomiting)
✔ Sleep deprivation – Late-night activities, forced driving, disrupted sleep
✔ Psychological abuse – Humiliation, degradation, verbal abuse, threats
✔ Sexual abuse – Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
✔ Waterboarding or simulated drowning – As seen in our Houston case
✔ Exposure to extreme conditions – Cold, heat, confined spaces
✔ Servitude – Forced cleaning, errands, or personal tasks for members

Important: Consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law still holds the organization liable.

💔 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed Near Limestone County

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Limestone County, take these steps immediately:

1️⃣ Seek Medical Attention

• Even if your child seems “fine,” some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not appear immediately.
• Go to the ER or urgent care—document everything.

2️⃣ Preserve Evidence

• Take photos/videos of injuries, locations, and any items used in hazing.
• Save all communications—texts, GroupMe messages, Snapchats, emails, social media posts.
• Write down everything—dates, times, what happened, who was involved.
• Get witness names and contact information.

3️⃣ Do NOT Talk to the Organization Without Legal Counsel

• The fraternity, sorority, or university will try to control the narrative.
• They may ask your child to sign documents or give statements—do not do this without an attorney.
• Anything your child says can be used against them in a lawsuit.

4️⃣ Report the Incident (But Be Careful How You Do It)

• Consider filing a police report—hazing is a crime in Alabama.
• Report to the university—but have your attorney review any statements first.
• Report to the national organization—but expect them to protect themselves, not your child.

5️⃣ Contact an Attorney Immediately

• Alabama has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.
• Evidence disappears quickly—act now.
• We offer free consultations for Limestone County families.

⚖️ Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing Near Limestone County?

Hazing cases are complex, and multiple parties can be held responsible. In our Houston case, we’re suing:

✔ The local fraternity/sorority chapter – Directly organized and conducted hazing.
✔ The national organization – Failed to supervise, knew about hazing culture.
✔ The university – Owned the fraternity house, failed to prevent hazing.
✔ Individual members – Participated in or facilitated hazing.
✔ Former members/alumni – Hosted hazing at their homes.
✔ Housing corporations – Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred.

If your child was hazed near Limestone County, we will identify every liable party and pursue them aggressively.

💰 What Compensation Can Limestone County Families Recover?

Hazing victims and their families may be entitled to compensation for:

Economic Damages:

• Medical bills (hospital stays, ER visits, therapy, future treatment)
• Lost wages (if your child missed work or lost job opportunities)
• Educational costs (tuition, fees, scholarships lost due to hazing)
• Future medical expenses (if hazing caused long-term health issues)

Non-Economic Damages:

• Physical pain and suffering (the agony of hazing injuries)
• Mental anguish (PTSD, anxiety, depression from abuse)
• Emotional distress (humiliation, shame, fear of retribution)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on college experience, social life)

Punitive Damages:

• Punitive damages are awarded when conduct is egregious, intentional, or reckless.
• In hazing cases, punitive damages send a message: This cannot happen again.

In our Houston case, we’re seeking $10 million for a hazing victim who survived. If your child was hazed near Limestone County, you may be entitled to similar compensation.
