💀 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Virginia)

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It’s abuse, assault, and sometimes manslaughter. Under Virginia law (§ 18.2-56), hazing is a Class 1 misdemeanor—and if it causes serious injury or death, it becomes a felony.

🚫 Common Hazing Practices (That Are Actually Crimes)

Hazing can take many forms, including:

⚠️ In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi members:

• Waterboarded a pledge with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced 500 squats until he collapsed (causing rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure)
• Struck him with wooden paddles
• Made him eat until he vomited, then forced him to keep running
• Hog-tied another pledge for over an hour

This isn’t “tradition.” It’s torture. And it’s happening at colleges near Lunenburg County.

⚖️ Virginia Hazing Laws – What Families Need to Know

📜 Virginia Code § 18.2-56 – Hazing is a Crime

“It shall be unlawful to haze so as to cause bodily injury, any student at any school, college, or university.”

• Class 1 Misdemeanor (up to 12 months in jail and $2,500 fine)
• If death or serious injury occurs → Felony (up to 5 years in prison)
• Consent is NOT a defense – Even if a student “agreed” to hazing, the law still holds perpetrators accountable

🏛️ Civil Lawsuits – Holding Institutions Accountable

Even if no criminal charges are filed, victims and families can sue for damages, including:

• Medical bills (emergency care, therapy, future treatment)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Lost wages (if hazing caused academic or career setbacks)
• Punitive damages (to punish egregious misconduct)

⚠️ Universities and national fraternities have deep pockets—and we know how to make them pay.

📢 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ Can I sue if my child was hazed at a college near Lunenburg County?

Yes. Hazing is illegal in Virginia, and victims can sue for damages. Even if no criminal charges are filed, you can still pursue a civil lawsuit.

❓ What if my child “consented” to hazing?

Consent is not a defense under Virginia law. Even if your child agreed to participate, the fraternity and university can still be held liable.

❓ How much is my hazing case worth?

Every case is different, but hazing lawsuits often result in six- or seven-figure settlements. Factors include:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses
• Emotional trauma
• University/fraternity negligence
• Prior hazing incidents

❓ What if the fraternity is already suspended?

That doesn’t protect them from liability. In fact, fraternities often suspend chapters to avoid lawsuits—but we can still sue them and their national organization.

❓ How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

• Virginia statute of limitations for personal injury: 2 years
• For wrongful death: 2 years from date of death
• For minors: May be extended until they turn 18

⚠️ Do not wait. Evidence disappears, and your rights expire.

❓ Will my child’s name be made public?

We protect your child’s privacy as much as possible. Many hazing cases settle confidentially, and we work to minimize public exposure.

❓ What if my child is afraid of retaliation?

We take retaliation threats seriously. Fraternities cannot intimidate victims into silence. We will protect your child’s rights every step of the way.
