Serving Miller County, Georgia Families with Nationwide Legal Firepower

🚨 Hazing in Miller County: What Every Parent Needs to Know

Miller County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities and Greek organizations to provide a supportive environment for growth, leadership, and friendship. That trust is being betrayed.

Hazing is happening at colleges and universities across Georgia β€” including near Miller County. The same national fraternities involved in recent high-profile hazing lawsuits operate chapters at Georgia institutions. The same dangerous “traditions” that hospitalized a student in Houston are happening right here in our state.

Recent Hazing Incidents in Georgia

While specific incidents in Miller County may not be publicly documented, hazing is a statewide problem:

  • University of Georgia has faced multiple hazing investigations in recent years
  • Georgia Tech has suspended fraternity chapters for hazing violations
  • Georgia State University has disciplined Greek organizations for hazing
  • Georgia Southern University has faced hazing allegations

The same national fraternities involved in the $10M UH case operate near Miller County. The same hazing culture exists here in Georgia.

πŸ” 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.

πŸ₯ Medical Consequences of Hazing β€” What Miller County Families Need to Know

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “harmless tradition.” It causes real, serious, sometimes permanent injuries.

πŸ† 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.
