🚨 Missouri Hazing Lawyer: Holding Fraternities & Universities Accountable

Serving Missouri Families from Houston, Austin & Beaumont — Nationwide Representation Available

🔴 BREAKING: This Is Happening in Missouri Too

A student in Houston was hospitalized after fraternity hazing. The same abuse happens at Missouri universities.

The University of Houston and Pi Kappa Phi fraternity are currently being sued for $10 million after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles — resulting in rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure requiring a 4-day hospital stay.

This isn’t just a Texas problem. This is happening in Missouri too.

The same national fraternities operate at Missouri universities. The same “traditions” exist. The same negligence allows it to continue.

If your child has been hazed at a Missouri university, we can help.

🚨 What Is Hazing? Missouri Parents Need to Know

Hazing is not “boys being boys.” It’s not “building character.” It’s not “tradition.”

Hazing is abuse. It’s assault. It’s torture. And it’s illegal in Missouri.

Missouri Hazing Definition (Similar to Texas Law):

Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in any organization.

Examples of Hazing in Missouri:

• Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, branding, excessive exercise
• Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, non-food substances until vomiting
• Waterboarding or simulated drowning (yes, this happens in Missouri too)
• Sleep deprivation: Forced late nights, early mornings, disrupted sleep
• Psychological torture: Humiliation, degradation, threats, isolation
• Sexual abuse: Forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
• Exposure: Cold weather exposure, heat exposure, confined spaces
• Servitude: Forced cleaning, driving, errands for members

This is not a complete list. If your child was subjected to any activity that made them feel unsafe, threatened, or physically harmed as part of joining or maintaining membership in a group, it may be hazing.

💔 The Medical Consequences of Hazing

Hazing isn’t just embarrassing or uncomfortable. It can cause serious, life-threatening injuries.

Common Hazing Injuries in Missouri:

• Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) — from extreme physical exertion
• Acute kidney failure — complication of rhabdomyolysis
• Alcohol poisoning — from forced drinking
• Traumatic brain injury — from beatings or falls
• Hypothermia or heat stroke — from exposure
• Cardiac arrest — from extreme physical stress
• PTSD, anxiety, depression — long-term psychological damage
• Death

Our client in Houston was hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats and other extreme exercises. This could happen to your child in Missouri.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Missouri Hazing?

When hazing occurs in Missouri, multiple parties can be held legally responsible:

In our current case, we are suing:

• The local chapter
• The national fraternity
• The university (which owned the fraternity house)
• Individual members
• A former member and his spouse (who hosted hazing)

The same liability applies to Missouri cases.

💰 What Missouri Hazing Victims Can Recover

Missouri hazing victims may be entitled to significant compensation for:

Economic Damages:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost wages or earning capacity
• Rehabilitation costs
• Tuition and educational expenses
• Out-of-pocket costs

Non-Economic Damages:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Mental anguish and emotional distress
• PTSD, anxiety, depression
• Humiliation and embarrassment
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Disfigurement or permanent impairment

Punitive Damages:

• Additional damages to punish egregious conduct
• Applicable when hazing involves torture, extreme recklessness, or intentional harm

Precedent Cases Show Missouri Victims Can Win Big:

• $10.1 million — Stone Foltz (Bowling Green State University)
• $6.1 million — Maxwell Gruver (LSU)
• $110+ million — Timothy Piazza (Penn State)
• $4+ million — Adam Oakes (VCU)

Our $10 million demand for our current client is in line with these precedents. Missouri families deserve the same justice.

📅 Missouri Hazing Statute of Limitations

Missouri law limits how long you have to file a lawsuit after hazing occurs.

• Personal Injury: Typically 2 years from date of injury
• Wrongful Death: Typically 2 years from date of death

WAITING CAN COST YOU YOUR RIGHTS. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Memories fade.

🛡️ What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Missouri

Immediate Steps:

1. Ensure Safety — Remove your child from the dangerous situation immediately.
2. Seek Medical Attention — Even if injuries seem minor, get a medical evaluation. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms immediately.
3. Preserve Evidence — Save all text messages, social media posts, photos, videos, and communications related to the hazing.
4. Do NOT Confront the Organization — Do not talk to fraternity/sorority leadership, university administrators, or their lawyers without legal counsel.
5. Do NOT Post on Social Media — Anything you post can be used against you.
6. Contact an Attorney — Call us at 1-888-ATTY-911 for a free, confidential consultation.

Evidence to Preserve:

• Medical records from any treatment
• Photos of injuries at all stages
• Text messages, emails, GroupMe chats, social media messages
• Names and contact information of witnesses
• Any documents given to your child by the organization
• Academic records showing impact on grades
• Employment records showing lost wages

🎯 Our Strategy for Missouri Hazing Cases

1. Immediate Evidence Preservation

We send preservation letters to all defendants demanding they save all evidence. This prevents destruction of text messages, photos, and other critical evidence.

2. Comprehensive Investigation

We work with investigators, medical experts, and hazing culture specialists to build a strong case. We document:

• The hazing activities
• The injuries suffered
• The institutional failures that allowed it to happen

3. Aggressive Negotiation

We negotiate from a position of strength. Our current $10 million lawsuit sends a message that we won’t accept lowball settlement offers.

4. Willingness to Go to Trial

If defendants won’t offer fair compensation, we are prepared to take your Missouri case to trial. Our track record shows we win.

5. Nationwide Coordination

We coordinate with hazing prevention organizations, legislators, and other attorneys to create systemic change. Your Missouri case can help protect future students.

📚 Missouri Hazing Laws — Know Your Rights

While Missouri hazing laws are similar to Texas, here are key points for Missouri families:

Missouri Revised Statutes § 578.360 — Hazing Defined:

“Any activity which recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization at a public or private institution of higher education.”

Criminal Penalties in Missouri:

• Class A Misdemeanor: Hazing that creates a substantial risk of physical injury
• Class D Felony: Hazing that causes physical injury
• Class C Felony: Hazing that causes serious physical injury

Consent is NOT a defense in Missouri.

Civil Liability:

Missouri victims can sue for:

• Negligence
• Assault and battery
• Intentional infliction of emotional distress
• Premises liability (if hazing occurred on university property)
• Wrongful death (if hazing results in death)

⚠️ Common Defenses in Hazing Cases — And How We Defeat Them

Defense: “He Consented to Participate”

Our Response:

• Missouri law explicitly states consent is not a defense to hazing.
• Coercion and peer pressure negate true consent.
• Victims often don’t know what they’re consenting to until it’s too late.

Defense: “It’s Just Tradition”

Our Response:

• “Tradition” does not justify illegal activity.
• Assault is assault, regardless of “tradition.”
• Courts and juries reject this argument.

Defense: “The University Didn’t Know”

Our Response:

• Universities have a duty to protect students.
• They often do know — Missouri universities have hazing incident histories.
• They have oversight responsibility over Greek organizations.

Defense: “It Was Just a Prank”

Our Response:

• Waterboarding is not a prank.
• 500 squats causing kidney failure is not a prank.
• This is abuse, and it will be treated as such in court.

🏛️ Missouri Universities with Greek Life — Where Hazing Happens

Missouri is home to many universities with active Greek life, including:

The same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in hazing settlements operate at these Missouri schools.

If your child attends any Missouri university with Greek life, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.

📢 Message to Missouri Fraternities and Sororities

To the fraternities and sororities operating in Missouri:

We are watching. The same legal strategies that secured $10+ million verdicts nationwide apply to your chapters.

If your chapter is hazing students in Missouri, know this:

• We track your corporate structures.
• We know your national organizations’ hazing records.
• We know how much they’ve paid in settlements.
• We know your insurance policies.
• When you haze students in Missouri, we will find every liable entity.

The Beta Nu chapter of Pi Kappa Phi at University of Houston? Shut down. Charter surrendered. Criminal referrals initiated. Our client’s $10 million lawsuit is ongoing.

That’s what happens when you haze in America. Your chapter could be next.
