Hazing in 2025: What It Really Looks Like in Texas

For parents in Montague County, understanding modern hazing is critical. What was once dismissed as “boys will be boys” or “harmless tradition” now involves sophisticated methods designed to evade detection while causing serious harm.

The Reality: It’s Not Just About Drinking

While forced alcohol consumption remains a leading cause of hazing deaths nationwide, today’s hazing includes:

Digital Control & Humiliation:

  • 24/7 group chat monitoring with immediate response demands
  • Forced social media posts (TikTok challenges, embarrassing Instagram stories)
  • Location tracking through apps like Find My Friends or Life360
  • Digital “roasts” in group chats or shared folders

Disguised as “Wellness” or “Tradition”:

  • Extreme workouts framed as “fitness challenges”
  • Sleep deprivation masked as “leadership training”
  • Food manipulation called “nutrition education”
  • Psychological manipulation labeled “bonding exercises”

The Texas-Specific Patterns We See:
At universities like Texas A&M, UT Austin, University of Houston, SMU, and Baylor—where many Montague County students attend—hazing often follows predictable scripts that national fraternities have used for years, despite knowing the dangers.

The University of Houston Case That Changed Everything

Right now, we’re leading one of Texas’s most serious hazing cases: Leonel Bermudez v. University of Houston & Pi Kappa Phi (Beta Nu Chapter). This case demonstrates exactly what modern hazing looks like and why experienced legal representation matters.

What Happened at UH:
In fall 2025, Leonel Bermudez, a transfer student, accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi’s Beta Nu chapter at the University of Houston. What followed was systematic abuse that nearly killed him:

  • Humiliation Rituals: Forced to carry a “pledge fanny pack” 24/7 containing condoms, sex toys, nicotine devices, and other degrading items
  • Physical Torture: Sprints, bear crawls, wheelbarrow races, “save-your-brother” drills in the cold
  • Waterboarding Simulation: Sprayed in the face with a hose “similar to waterboarding” with threats of actual waterboarding
  • Forced Consumption: Made to drink milk, eat hot dogs and peppercorns until vomiting, then forced to immediately sprint
  • The Breaking Point: On November 3, 2025, forced through 100+ push-ups and 500 squats under threat of expulsion

The Medical Catastrophe:
Bermudez developed rhabdomyolysis—severe skeletal muscle breakdown—and acute kidney failure. His urine turned brown, he couldn’t stand without help, and he was hospitalized for four days with critically high creatine kinase levels. He faces ongoing risk of permanent kidney damage.

The Institutional Response:

  • November 6, 2025: Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters suspended the Beta Nu chapter
  • November 14, 2025: Chapter members voted to surrender their charter
  1. University of Houston called the conduct “deeply disturbing” and promised disciplinary action
  • We filed a $10 million lawsuit against UH, the UH System Board of Regents, Pi Kappa Phi national, the Beta Nu housing corporation, and 13 individual fraternity leaders

This case, covered by Click2Houston and ABC13, shows why families need lawyers who understand how to investigate these cases and hold every responsible party accountable.

Texas Hazing Law: What Montague County Families Need to Know

Texas has specific laws protecting students from hazing, but understanding how they work in practice is essential.

Texas Education Code Chapter 37: The Hazing Statute

Definition (Plain English):
Hazing means any intentional, knowing, or reckless act (on or off campus) that:

  1. Endangers mental or physical health or safety
  2. Occurs for pledging, initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in any student organization

Key Provisions:

  • §37.155: Consent is NOT a defense – Even if your child “agreed,” it’s still hazing
  • §37.152: Criminal penalties range from Class B misdemeanor to state jail felony for serious injury or death
  • §37.153: Organizations can be prosecuted and fined up to $10,000 per violation
  • §37.154: Good-faith reporting immunity protects those who report or call for help

Criminal vs. Civil Cases: Understanding the Difference

Criminal Cases:

  • Prosecuted by the state (DA’s office)
  • Can result in jail time, fines, probation for individuals
  • Organizations can face fines and campus bans
  • Example: Fraternity members charged with felony hazing after a death

Civil Cases:

  • Filed by victims or families for compensation
  • Can result in monetary damages for:
    • Medical expenses (past and future)
    • Pain and suffering
    • Lost educational opportunities
    • Emotional distress
    • Wrongful death damages
  • Hold individuals AND organizations accountable
  • We handle civil hazing cases to secure compensation and force institutional change

Federal Laws That Apply in Texas

Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024):

  • Requires universities receiving federal aid to publicly report hazing incidents
  • Mandates hazing prevention education
  • Phased implementation through 2026
  • Why it matters: More transparency about which organizations have violations

Title IX & Clery Act:

  • Apply when hazing involves sexual harassment or assault
  • Require universities to investigate and take action
  • Can provide additional legal pathways for accountability

Where Montague County Families Send Their Kids: Texas University Landscape

Montague County students attend universities across Texas. Understanding the campus environments and Greek life ecosystems at these schools is crucial for parents.

Universities Relevant to Montague County Families

Nearby Campuses:

  • Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, TX) – 45 miles from Montague County
  • University of North Texas (Denton, TX) – 80 miles
  • Texas Tech University (Lubbock, TX) – 200 miles
  • Tarleton State University (Stephenville, TX) – 110 miles

Major Texas Hubs (Where Many Montague County Students Attend):

  • University of Texas at Austin – Flagship campus with extensive Greek life
  • Texas A&M University – College Station campus with Corps of Cadets and Greek system
  • University of Houston – Urban campus with active fraternity/sorority scene
  • Southern Methodist University – Private university with strong Greek presence
  • Baylor University – Waco campus with religious affiliation and Greek life

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metro Greek Ecosystem

Montague County sits within the broader Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metro area, which according to our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine data, contains 510 Greek-related organizations. This dense network includes:

  • Undergraduate chapters at UNT, SMU, UT Arlington, TCU
  • Alumni chapters serving professionals across North Texas
  • Housing corporations that own fraternity/sorority houses
  • Honor societies and professional Greek organizations

Example Organizations from IRS Public Records Serving Our Region:

Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity Inc – EIN 475381060 – San Marcos, TX 78666 – (IRS B83 filing)
Beta Upsilon Chi Fraternity – EIN 742911848 – Fort Worth, TX 76244 – (IRS-Cause IQ brand overlap)
Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation Inc – EIN 741380362 – Fort Worth, TX 76147 – (IRS B83 filing)
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity – EIN 521278573 – Dallas, TX 75241 – (IRS B83 filing)
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority – EIN 364091267 – Waco, TX 76710 – (IRS-Cause IQ brand overlap)
Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi – EIN 263170920 – Denton, TX 76204 – (IRS B83 filing)
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority – Wichita Falls Alumnae – Wichita Falls, TX – (Cause IQ metro listing)
Sigma Chi Fraternity – Zeta Eta Chapter – EIN 756060974 – Commerce, TX 75429 – (IRS B83 filing)

These are just examples from public records showing the extensive network of Greek organizations operating in our region. When hazing occurs, identifying every potentially liable entity—from the undergraduate chapter to the alumni association to the national headquarters—is critical for a successful case.

National Hazing Cases That Shape Texas Litigation

Understanding national patterns helps Montague County families recognize that what happened to their child isn’t an isolated incident but part of a predictable, preventable pattern.

Alcohol Hazing Deaths: The Repeated Script

Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State University (2021):

  • Pi Kappa Alpha “Big/Little” night
  • Forced to drink entire bottle of alcohol
  • Died from alcohol poisoning
  • $10 million settlement ($7M from Pi Kappa Alpha national, $3M from BGSU)
  • Why this matters for Texas: The same Pi Kappa Alpha national organization operates chapters at UT Austin, Texas A&M, and other Texas schools

Max Gruver – LSU (2017):

  • Phi Delta Theta “Bible study” drinking game
  • Wrong answers = forced drinking
  • BAC 0.495% at death
  • Louisiana passed “Max Gruver Act” making hazing a felony
  • Why this matters for Texas: Phi Delta Theta has chapters at UT Austin, Texas A&M, SMU

Timothy Piazza – Penn State (2017):

  • Beta Theta Pi bid acceptance night
  • Extreme drinking, falls captured on security cameras
  • Delayed medical care
  • 18 members charged with 1,000+ counts
  • Pennsylvania passed Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law
  • Why this matters for Texas: Beta Theta Pi operates at UT Austin, Texas A&M, SMU

Physical & Ritualized Hazing

Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College (2013):

  • Pi Delta Psi “glass ceiling” ritual at retreat
  • Blindfolded, weighted with backpack, repeatedly tackled
  • Fatal traumatic brain injury
  • National fraternity convicted of aggravated assault and involuntary manslaughter
  • Pi Delta Psi banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years
  • Why this matters for Texas: Shows national organizations can face criminal conviction

Texas A&M Sigma Alpha Epsilon Chemical Burns (2021):

  • Pledges covered in industrial-strength cleaner, raw eggs, spit
  • Severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries
  • $1 million lawsuit filed by victims
  • Chapter suspended for two years
  • Why this matters: Shows dangerous physical hazing happens at Texas schools

Athletic Program Hazing

Northwestern University Football (2023-2025):

  • Sexualized and racist hazing within football program
  • Multiple lawsuits against university
  • Head coach fired, then settled wrongful-termination suit
  • Why this matters for Texas: Athletic programs at Texas schools can harbor similar abuse

Texas University Deep Dive: What’s Happening on Campus

University of Texas at Austin

Campus Culture:
UT Austin hosts approximately 60 fraternity and sorority chapters with a strong Greek presence. The university maintains one of Texas’s most transparent hazing violation databases at hazing.utexas.edu.

Documented Incidents:

  • Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics; chapter placed on probation
  • Texas Wranglers: Multiple hazing violations involving forced activities
  • Sigma Alpha Epsilon (2024): Australian exchange student allegedly assaulted at party, suffering dislocated leg, broken ligaments, fractured tibia, broken nose; lawsuit filed for over $1 million

UT’s Hazing Transparency:
Unlike some universities, UT publicly lists organizations found responsible for hazing, including:

  • Nature of violation
  • Sanctions imposed
  • Date of incident
  • This public record can be powerful evidence in civil lawsuits showing pattern and notice

Texas A&M University

Unique Factors:

  • Corps of Cadets culture with military-style traditions
  • Agricultural fraternities with distinct risk profiles
  • SEC athletics with high-pressure environments

Documented Cases:

  1. Corps of Cadets “Roasted Pig” Case (2023):

    • Cadet alleged being bound between beds in simulated sexual position with apple in mouth
    • Sought over $1 million in damages
    • A&M stated it handled matter under Corps regulations
  2. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Chemical Burns (2021):

    • As noted above, severe injuries requiring skin grafts
    • Highlights physical hazing risks beyond alcohol
  3. Multiple Greek Life Suspensions:

    • Various fraternities suspended for hazing violations in recent years
    • Pattern of recurring issues despite “zero tolerance” policies

Southern Methodist University

Private University Dynamics:

  • Less public transparency than state schools
  • Affluent student population with strong Greek participation
  • Kappa Alpha Order (2017): Paddling, forced drinking, sleep deprivation; chapter suspended

SMU’s Approach:

  • Anonymous reporting systems (Real Response)
  • Greek Life office oversight
  • Challenge: Balancing privacy with accountability when incidents occur

Baylor University

Context Matters:

  • Religious affiliation influencing disciplinary approach
  • History of Title IX and athletic program scandals
  • Baseball Hazing (2020): 14 players suspended following investigation

Baylor’s Landscape:

  • Greek life exists alongside strong religious programming
  • Ongoing reforms following prior institutional crises
  • For families: Understanding how Baylor’s unique culture affects hazing response is crucial

Fraternity & Sorority National Histories: Why Patterns Matter

When a Texas chapter hazes, it’s often following scripts written by national organizations that have seen deaths and injuries for decades.

Organizations with Documented National Patterns

Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike):

  • Stone Foltz (BGSU, 2021) – $10M settlement
  • David Bogenberger (NIU, 2012) – $14M settlement
  • Multiple chapters suspended nationally for hazing
  • Texas Chapters: UT Austin, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, others
  • Pattern: “Big/Little” alcohol hazing events

Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE):

  • Traumatic brain injury lawsuit at University of Alabama (2023)
  • Chemical burns case at Texas A&M (2021)
  • Assault case at UT Austin (2024)
  • Historically one of most frequently hazing-related death fraternities
  • Pattern: Physical abuse combined with alcohol hazing

Phi Delta Theta:

  • Max Gruver (LSU, 2017) – Led to felony hazing law
  • Multiple chapter suspensions nationally
  • Pattern: Drinking games disguised as “education” or “tradition”

Pi Kappa Phi:

  • Andrew Coffey (FSU, 2017) – Alcohol poisoning death
  • Leonel Bermudez (UH, 2025) – Rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
  • Pattern: Extreme physical hazing combined with humiliation

What National Histories Mean for Your Case

Foreseeability:
When a national organization has seen deaths at other chapters from specific activities (like Big/Little drinking nights), they can’t claim “we didn’t know this could happen” when the same thing occurs at their Texas chapter.

Negligent Supervision:
Nationals that collect dues, provide materials, and maintain oversight of chapters have a duty to supervise. When they fail to stop known dangerous traditions, they can be liable.

Punitive Damages Potential:
When organizations ignore clear warnings and patterns, Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish reckless disregard for student safety.

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Strategy & Realistic Expectations

Critical Evidence in Modern Hazing Cases

Digital Evidence (Most Important):

  • Group chats: GroupMe, WhatsApp, Signal, Discord, Slack
  • Social media: Instagram stories, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook
  • Text messages: Screenshot entire conversations with timestamps
  • Deleted messages: Digital forensics can often recover them
  • Location data: GPS from phones, social media check-ins

How to Preserve Digital Evidence:
We created a video explaining exactly how to use your phone to document evidence: Attorney911 Evidence Documentation Guide

Physical Evidence:

  • Photograph injuries immediately and over several days
  • Save clothing with stains or damage
  • Preserve objects used in hazing (paddles, bottles, props)
  • Medical records detailing injuries and treatment

Institutional Records:

  • University conduct files (obtained via subpoena)
  • National fraternity risk management files
  • Prior incident reports and disciplinary history
  • Insurance policies and coverage documents

Damages: What Families Can Recover

Economic Damages:

  • Medical expenses (ER, hospitalization, surgery, ongoing care)
  • Future medical needs (therapy, medications, specialists)
  • Lost educational costs (withdrawn semesters, lost scholarships)
  • Diminished earning capacity (if permanent disability results)

Non-Economic Damages:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress (PTSD, depression, anxiety)
  • Humiliation and loss of dignity
  • Loss of enjoyment of life

Wrongful Death Damages (if applicable):

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of companionship and support
  • Emotional suffering of family members
  • Loss of future earnings and contributions

Punitive Damages:
In cases of particularly reckless or intentional conduct, Texas courts may award punitive damages to punish defendants and deter future conduct.

Realistic Case Timeline & Process

Initial Phase (Days 1-30):

  • Evidence preservation and collection
  • Medical treatment and documentation
  • Initial investigation and witness interviews
  • Preservation letters to universities and organizations

Investigation Phase (Months 1-6):

  • Comprehensive evidence gathering
  • Expert consultations (medical, economic, Greek life)
  • Pre-suit settlement negotiations (if appropriate)
  • Demand package preparation

Litigation Phase (Months 6-24+):

  • Filing lawsuit if settlement not reached
  • Discovery process (documents, depositions, interrogatories)
  • Expert reports and testimony
  • Mediation and settlement conferences
  • Trial preparation

Most cases settle during litigation, often at mediation. Having lawyers experienced in hazing cases who understand university and fraternity defense tactics is crucial for achieving fair settlements.

Practical Guide for Montague County Parents & Students

For Parents: Warning Signs & Immediate Actions

Warning Signs Your Child May Be Hazed:

  • Unexplained injuries or frequent “accidents”
  • Extreme exhaustion or sleep deprivation
  • Sudden personality changes (anxiety, depression, withdrawal)
  • Secretive about phone or constantly monitoring group chats
  • Financial strain from unexpected “dues” or purchases
  • Declining academic performance
  • Fear of “getting in trouble” or “letting the chapter down”

If You Suspect Hazing:

  1. Talk openly but non-confrontationally: “I’m worried about you. Is there anything happening that feels unsafe or wrong?”
  2. Document everything your child tells you
  3. Preserve evidence immediately (see our evidence guide above)
  4. Contact an experienced hazing attorney before confronting the organization
  5. Understand university reporting options but know they may prioritize institutional protection

Critical Mistakes to Avoid:
We made a video detailing common mistakes that can damage cases: Client Mistakes That Can Ruin Your Injury Case

  • Letting evidence be deleted – Screenshot everything NOW
  • Confronting the fraternity/sorority directly – They’ll lawyer up and destroy evidence
  • Signing university “resolution” agreements – Often include releases of liability
  • Posting on social media – Defense attorneys monitor everything
  • Waiting to see what the university does – Evidence disappears quickly

For Students: Your Rights & Safety Planning

Is This Hazing? Ask Yourself:

  • Would I do this if I truly had a free choice (no social pressure)?
  • Is this dangerous or degrading?
  • Would the university approve if they knew exactly what’s happening?
  • Am I being told to keep secrets or lie about activities?
  • Are only new members doing this while older members watch or direct?

If You’re Being Hazed:

  1. Your safety comes first – Call 911 if you’re in danger
  2. Texas law protects good-faith reporters – You won’t get in trouble for seeking help
  3. Document everything – Screenshots, photos, notes with dates/times
  4. Talk to someone you trust – Parent, RA, counselor, or attorney
  5. You have the right to leave – No matter what they’ve told you about “commitment”

Exiting Safely:

  • Tell someone outside the organization first
  • Send a clear written resignation (email/text)
  • Don’t go to “one last meeting” where you might be pressured
  • If you fear retaliation, document it and report to campus police

Statute of Limitations: Don’t Wait Too Long

Texas generally gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a hazing lawsuit, but exceptions exist. If the hazing involved fraud or cover-up, or if the injury wasn’t immediately discovered, different rules may apply.

Time is critical because:

  • Evidence disappears (deleted messages, graduated witnesses)
  • Memories fade
  • Organizations destroy records
  • Insurance policies may change

Why Attorney911 for Montague County Hazing Cases

When your family faces a hazing crisis, you need more than a general personal injury lawyer. You need attorneys who understand how universities, national fraternities, and their insurance companies fight these cases—and how to win anyway.

Our Unique Qualifications for Hazing Cases

Insurance Insider Advantage:
Mr. Lupe Peña spent years as an insurance defense attorney at a national firm. He knows exactly how fraternity and university insurance companies:

  • Use delay tactics to pressure families
  • Fight coverage under “intentional act” exclusions
  • We know their playbook because we used to run it.

  • Trace failures through training, policy, and supervision gaps
  • Build cases that survive aggressive defense tactics

Current Texas Hazing Litigation:
Right now, we’re leading the Leonel Bermudez v. University of Houston & Pi Kappa Phi case—a $10 million lawsuit involving rhabdomyolysis, kidney failure, and systematic abuse. We’re not theorizing about hazing cases; we’re actively litigating one of Texas’s most serious current cases.

Data-Driven Investigation:
Our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine tracks 1,423 Greek organizations across 25 Texas metros. When we take your case, we don’t start from zero. We already understand:

  • The organizational structure behind Texas chapters
  • National histories and patterns
  • Insurance coverage landscapes
  • Prior incidents and disciplinary histories

Dual Civil/Criminal Capability:
Ralph’s membership in the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association (HCCLA) means we understand both sides of hazing cases. We can:

  • Advise on criminal exposure for witnesses or former members
  • Navigate parallel criminal and civil proceedings
  • Protect your rights throughout the process

Spanish-Language Services:
Mr. Peña speaks fluent Spanish and can serve Hispanic families in their preferred language. Se habla Español.

Phase 3: Pattern Evidence Development

  • Subpoena national fraternity records of prior incidents
  • Obtain university disciplinary history for the chapter
  • Research similar cases nationwide involving the same organization
  • Consult Greek life culture experts

Phase 4: Damages Quantification
We work with experts to fully document harm:

  • Medical experts for injury prognosis
