Hazing Lawyers in Mitchell County, Kansas – Holding Fraternities & Universities Accountable

Mitchell County Families: Your Child Was Hazed. Now What?

If your son or daughter was injured, hospitalized, or traumatized by fraternity or sorority hazing in Mitchell County or at colleges near Beloit, Kansas, you’re not alone. Attorney 911 is fighting this battle right now—and we’re ready to fight for Mitchell County families too.

We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down, and hospitalized with kidney failure. The same fraternities operate near Mitchell County. The same negligence exists at Kansas universities. And we will bring the same aggressive representation to Mitchell County families.

Why Mitchell County Families Choose Attorney 911 for Hazing Cases

We’re Fighting This Battle RIGHT NOW

While other firms talk about hazing, we’re actively litigating a $10 million hazing case. We know the tactics. We know the defendants. And we know how to win.

Former Insurance Defense Attorneys

Both of our attorneys worked for insurance companies before switching sides. We know their playbook—and we use it against them. When fraternities and universities try to lowball Mitchell County families, we dismantle their defenses.

Nationwide Reach – We Serve Mitchell County

Headquartered in Houston, Austin, and Beaumont, we represent hazing victims across America, including Mitchell County, Kansas. Our federal court authority and dual-state bar licenses (Texas and New York) allow us to pursue national fraternities wherever they’re headquartered.

We Travel to Mitchell County

For depositions, trials, and client meetings, we come to Mitchell County. Distance is not a barrier to justice.

Contingency Fee – $0 Upfront

Mitchell County families pay nothing upfront. We don’t get paid unless we win your case.

The Hazing Crisis in Mitchell County & Nearby Colleges

Hazing isn’t just a Texas problem—it’s happening at universities near Mitchell County, Kansas. The same fraternities that waterboarded our client in Houston have chapters at Kansas colleges, including:

  • Kansas State University (Manhattan, KS) – Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and other major fraternities
  • University of Kansas (Lawrence, KS) – Large Greek system with documented hazing incidents
  • Wichita State University (Wichita, KS) – Active Greek life presence
  • Fort Hays State University (Hays, KS) – Smaller but active fraternities and sororities

If your child attends college near Mitchell County, they face the same risks.

What Hazing Looks Like in Mitchell County & Kansas

Our current case reveals what’s happening behind closed doors:

Hazing Activity What Happened Medical Risk
Waterboarding Simulated drowning with a garden hose Trauma, PTSD, drowning risk
Forced Exercise 500 squats, 100+ pushups, bear crawls Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure
Wooden Paddles Struck repeatedly with paddles Bruising, internal injuries
Forced Eating Milk, hot dogs, peppercorns until vomiting Choking, aspiration, poisoning
Sleep Deprivation Forced to drive members at all hours Exhaustion, accidents
Psychological Abuse Carrying sexual objects, humiliation PTSD, anxiety, depression

This isn’t “tradition.” It’s abuse. And it’s happening at Kansas colleges near Mitchell County.

Who Is Liable for Hazing in Mitchell County?

When hazing occurs, multiple parties are responsible—and we sue them all:

🔹 Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter

  • Organized and conducted the hazing
  • Chapter officers (president, pledgemaster) directed activities
  • Individual members participated

🔹 National Fraternity/Sorority Organization

  • Failed to supervise chapters despite knowing about hazing
  • Ignored prior incidents (like our Pi Kappa Phi case)
  • Have deep pockets and insurance policies

🔹 University or College

  • Failed to monitor Greek life
  • Knew or should have known about hazing risks
  • Own or control fraternity/sorority houses

🔹 Individual Members & Officers

  • Each person who participated can be sued personally
  • Chapter leaders face higher liability

Our $10 million lawsuit names all these defendants—and we’ll do the same for Mitchell County families.

What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Mitchell County

🚨 Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

  • Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor
  • Document everything—medical records are critical evidence
  • Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and alcohol poisoning can be life-threatening

📱 Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

  • DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING—texts, social media, photos, videos
  • Take screenshots of GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram messages
  • Save photos of injuries, hazing locations, and items used
  • Get names and contact info of witnesses

⚠️ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone

  • They will try to control the narrative
  • Anything you say can be used against you
  • Let us handle all communication

📞 Step 4: Call Attorney 911 Immediately

  • Free consultation for Mitchell County families
  • We evaluate your case and explain your rights
  • No upfront cost—we only get paid if we win

Damages We Pursue for Mitchell County Hazing Victims

Hazing causes real harm—and we fight for full compensation:

Type of Damage Examples Mitchell County Application
Medical Expenses Hospital bills, therapy, future treatment Kidney damage, PTSD, physical injuries
Pain & Suffering Physical pain, emotional trauma Waterboarding, paddling, forced exercise
Lost Wages Time missed from work/school Hospitalization, recovery time
Educational Impact Disrupted studies, lost scholarships Failed classes, delayed graduation
Punitive Damages Punish egregious conduct Waterboarding, pattern of abuse

Our current $10 million case proves these damages are real—and juries will award them.

Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims Win Millions

Hazing cases aren’t just about justice—they’re about real money. Here’s what other families have recovered:

Case Fraternity University Outcome
Stone Foltz (2021) Pi Kappa Alpha Bowling Green State $10.1 million
Maxwell Gruver (2017) Phi Delta Theta Louisiana State $6.1 million jury verdict
Timothy Piazza (2017) Beta Theta Pi Penn State $110+ million settlement
Andrew Coffey (2017) Pi Kappa Phi Florida State Confidential multi-million settlement

Mitchell County families deserve the same compensation.

  • Hazing is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail)

  • Consent is NOT a defense—even if your child “agreed” to participate

🏛️ Civil Liability in Kansas

  • Victims can sue for negligence, assault, battery, and emotional distress
  • Universities can be held liable for failing to protect students
  • Fraternities can be sued for gross negligence
