What Is Hazing? Logan County Parents Need to Know

Hazing is not “harmless tradition.” It’s abuse, assault, and sometimes torture. In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi members:

Waterboarded a pledge with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
Forced 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
Struck him with wooden paddles
Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him lie in his own vomit
Threatened expulsion if he didn’t comply

This is not “brotherhood.” This is a crime.

Common Hazing Activities in Logan County (and Beyond)

Physical Abuse	Forced Consumption	Psychological Torture	Sleep Deprivation
Paddling	Forced alcohol (binge drinking)	Humiliation rituals	All-night events
Beatings	Forced food (eating contests)	Verbal abuse	Early morning workouts
Extreme exercise	Forced drugs	Isolation	Forced errands
Branding/burning	Non-food substances	Threats of expulsion	Late-night driving
Waterboarding	Alcohol poisoning	Carrying sexual objects	Sleep deprivation

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

Who Is Liable for Hazing in Logan County?

Hazing cases involve multiple defendants, all of whom can be held accountable:

1. The Fraternity or Sorority Chapter

Local chapter members who organized or participated
Chapter officers (President, Pledgemaster, Risk Manager)
Chapter advisors (alumni who oversee activities)

2. The National Organization

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Sigma, etc. — these nationals know hazing happens and often fail to stop it
They have millions in assets and insurance — we know how to pursue them

3. The University or College

Premises liability — if hazing happened on campus or in university-owned housing
Negligent supervision — if the school failed to monitor Greek life
Failure to report — Colorado law requires schools to report hazing

Example: In our current case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred. They collected rent while students were being tortured.

4. Individual Perpetrators

Every person who participated in hazing can be sued personally
Parents of members — if hazing happened at their home, they may be liable

5. Insurance Companies

Homeowner’s insurance (for off-campus hazing)
Fraternity insurance (national organizations have policies)
University insurance (covers campus incidents)

We know how to find the money — and we know how to make them pay.

What Can Logan County Families Recover?

Future medical care	Mental anguish (PTSD, anxiety, depression)	Deterrence for other fraternities
Lost wages	Humiliation and shame
Therapy costs	Loss of enjoyment of life

Common Hazing Myths in Logan County — Debunked

Myth 1: “It’s just tradition — it’s not that bad.”

Reality: Hazing is assault, battery, and sometimes torture. Waterboarding, forced exercise until collapse, and physical beatings are not “tradition” — they’re crimes.

Myth 2: “My child consented, so they can’t sue.”

Reality: Colorado law says consent is NOT a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization is still liable.

Myth 3: “Only big universities have hazing problems.”

Reality: Hazing happens at small colleges, community colleges, and even high schools in Logan County. We’ve seen cases at Northeastern Junior College, Morgan Community College, and local high school sports teams.

Myth 4: “If we sue, my child will be blacklisted.”

Reality: The law protects victims from retaliation. If the fraternity or university punishes your child for speaking out, they can be sued for additional damages.

Myth 5: “We can’t afford a lawyer.”

Reality: We work on a contingency fee basis — $0 upfront. We only get paid if we win your case.
