- Georgia Tech has suspended fraternity chapters for hazing violations

π What Is Hazing? Georgia Law Explained
Georgia Code Β§ 16-5-61 defines hazing as:
“Any intentional or reckless act in Georgia which endangers the physical health of a student, regardless of the student’s willingness to participate, for the purpose of initiation or admission into, affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in, a school organization.”
Key points for Miller County families:
- Consent is NOT a defense β Even if your child “agreed” to participate, hazing is illegal
- Physical harm is not required β Psychological abuse, humiliation, and sleep deprivation qualify
- It applies to ALL organizations β Fraternities, sororities, sports teams, clubs, bands, ROTC
Common Hazing Activities in Georgia
| Category | Examples | Georgia Law Violation |
|---|---|---|
| Physical Abuse | Beatings, paddling, branding, forced exercise | Assault, battery, hazing |
| Forced Consumption | Alcohol, food, non-food substances | Hazing, reckless endangerment |
| Psychological Torture | Waterboarding, humiliation, threats | Hazing, intentional infliction of emotional distress |
| Sleep Deprivation | Late-night activities, early-morning demands | Hazing |
| Servitude | Forced cleaning, driving members, running errands | Hazing |
| Sexual Abuse | Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects | Sexual assault, hazing |
Miller County parents: If your child experienced any of these activities, they were hazed β and you have legal rights.

π Miller County Families: You Deserve Justice
Hazing is not tradition. It is not brotherhood. It is not bonding.
It is abuse. It is assault. It is illegal.
Your child did not deserve to be waterboarded. They did not deserve to be forced to do 500 squats until their muscles broke down. They did not deserve to be struck with wooden paddles. They did not deserve to be humiliated, degraded, or traumatized.
They deserved safety. They deserved respect. They deserved to be treated like human beings.
At Attorney 911, we believe that no family should have to go through this alone. We believe that no child should have their trust betrayed by the institutions that promised to protect them. And we believe that those who commit these acts must be held accountable.
Miller County families: We are here for you. We are ready to fight for you. And we will not stop until justice is served.
