🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in McPherson County

On November 3, 2025, Leonel Bermudez — a young man who wasn’t even enrolled at the University of Houston yet — was hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being hazed at the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity.

What they did to him:

• Waterboarded him with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced him to do 500 squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
• Struck him with wooden paddles
• Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him run through his own vomit
• Another pledge lost consciousness during hazing — they kept going

He spent four days in the hospital fighting for his life.

The same fraternities that did this operate at universities near McPherson County. The same national organizations that failed to stop it oversee chapters across Kansas. The same universities that own fraternity houses and collect rent while students are tortured exist in our state.

If your child has been hazed in McPherson County, we can help.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a McPherson County Hazing Victim

Hazing is illegal in Kansas.

Kansas law defines hazing as any activity that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health of a student for the purpose of initiation or membership in any organization.

This includes:

• Physical abuse (paddling, beatings, forced exercise)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
• Sleep deprivation
• Psychological abuse (humiliation, threats, isolation)
• Sexual abuse
• Any activity that creates a substantial risk of harm

Consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, Kansas law says consent does not matter.

You can sue for damages.

Hazing victims in McPherson County can pursue compensation for:

• Medical bills (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
• Educational disruption (tuition, scholarships, delayed graduation)
• Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)

In our current case, we are seeking $10 million. The same compensation is available for McPherson County victims.

Multiple parties can be held liable.

In our lawsuit, we are suing:

• The local fraternity chapter (directly responsible)
• The national fraternity organization (failed to supervise)
• The university (owned the building where hazing occurred)
• Individual members (participated in or allowed hazing)
• Alumni and spouses (allowed hazing at their homes)

The same liability applies to McPherson County hazing cases.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for McPherson County Families

Q: My child was hazed at a Kansas university — can you help even though you’re based in Texas?

A: Yes. We represent hazing victims nationwide, including in McPherson County and across Kansas. Our federal court authority and willingness to travel mean we can pursue your case no matter where it occurred.

Q: What if my child “agreed” to participate in hazing activities?

A: Consent is not a defense. Kansas law explicitly states that consent does not justify hazing. Even if your child “agreed,” the organization can still be held liable.

Q: What if the hazing didn’t cause serious physical injury?

A: You can still pursue compensation. Psychological trauma, emotional distress, and humiliation are all compensable damages. Many hazing cases involve significant emotional harm even without hospitalization.

Q: How much is my McPherson County hazing case worth?

A: Every case is different. Factors include:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses
• Psychological impact
• Institutional knowledge (did they know about prior hazing?)
• Egregiousness of conduct (waterboarding, forced consumption, etc.)

In our current case, we are seeking $10 million. Similar compensation is available for McPherson County victims.

Q: What if my child is afraid of retaliation?

A: We protect our clients. Many hazing victims fear speaking out due to social retaliation. We handle all communication with the organization and protect your privacy.

Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Kansas?

A: Typically 2 years from the date of injury. However, some exceptions may apply. Do not wait — evidence disappears quickly.

Q: Can I afford a lawyer?

A: Yes. We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win. There are no upfront costs for McPherson County families.
