🚨 Hazing Victims in Montrose County: You Don’t Have to Suffer in Silence

If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, or student organization near Montrose County, you have legal rights — and powerful allies in the fight for justice.

Montrose County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their students. They trust Greek organizations to uphold values of brotherhood and sisterhood.

That trust is being betrayed.

Right now, our law firm is fighting a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston for what they did to a young man who just wanted to join a brotherhood. He was waterboarded with a garden hose. He was forced to do 500 squats until his muscles broke down. He was struck with wooden paddles. He ended up in the hospital with kidney failure, fighting for his life.

This isn’t happening in some distant state. This is happening in Texas. This could be happening to students near Montrose County right now.

The same national fraternities operate at universities across Colorado. The same hazing “traditions” exist in Montrose County chapters. The same institutional failures to protect students are happening at colleges near you.

If your child has been hazed in Montrose County — or anywhere in Colorado — Attorney 911 can help.

⚠️ What Montrose County Parents Need to Know About Hazing

Hazing Isn’t “Tradition” — It’s Abuse

What happened to our client in Houston wasn’t an isolated incident. It’s part of a systemic culture of abuse that exists in Greek organizations nationwide, including near Montrose County.

Hazing activities reported in our case include:

• Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
• Forced consumption of food and milk until vomiting
• Extreme physical punishment (500 squats, 100+ pushups, bear crawls)
• Being struck with wooden paddles
• Sleep deprivation and exhaustion
• Psychological torture and humiliation

These aren’t “pranks.” These aren’t “team-building exercises.” This is assault. This is battery. This is torture.

Universities Are Complicit — Including Those Near Montrose County

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded. They collected rent while students were being tortured. They had the power to inspect, to regulate, to shut it down — but they chose not to.

The same is true at universities near Montrose County. When a university recognizes a Greek organization, they take on the responsibility to oversee it. When they own or control the property where hazing occurs, they share liability.

National Organizations Know — And Do Nothing

Pi Kappa Phi National knew about the “hazing crisis” in their organization. They knew a student died at one of their chapters in 2017. They had eight years to fix their culture.

They did nothing.

Now another student has been hospitalized. The same national organization operates near Montrose County. How many other chapters are doing the same thing?

The Law Is on Your Side — Even in Montrose County

Colorado has strong anti-hazing laws. Hazing is a crime. Consent is not a defense. Organizations can be held liable. Universities can be held liable. Individuals can be held personally responsible.

And you don’t have to navigate this alone. Our attorneys have:

• 25+ years of litigation experience
• Former insurance defense insight — we know how they’ll fight back
• Federal court authority — we can pursue your case anywhere
• A track record of multi-million dollar results
• A commitment to travel to Montrose County for your case

💔 What Hazing Does to Students — And Families

Physical Consequences

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars. It causes real, lasting physical damage:

Psychological Trauma

The physical injuries are bad enough. But the psychological damage lasts long after the bruises fade.

Hazing victims often experience:

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) — flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety
• Depression — persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities
• Anxiety — constant worry, panic attacks
• Trust Issues — difficulty forming new relationships
• Academic Decline — falling grades, dropping out
• Substance Abuse — self-medicating to cope
• Suicidal Ideation — feeling hopeless, worthless

Our client is “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution.” This fear is real. This is what hazing culture does — it silences victims through intimidation.

Financial Burden

Hazing doesn’t just hurt students emotionally and physically. It creates financial devastation for families:

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Montrose County Hazing?

When hazing happens, everyone who participated or allowed it is responsible. In our Houston case, we’re pursuing:

The same liability applies to Montrose County cases. If your child was hazed at a university near Montrose County, we can pursue:

• The local chapter
• The national organization
• The university
• Individual perpetrators
• Insurance carriers

💰 What Montrose County Hazing Victims Can Recover

Hazing cases aren’t just about justice. They’re about compensation for the harm done. Victims and families can recover:

Economic Damages

• Medical bills (past, present, and future)
• Lost wages (time missed from work)
• Educational expenses (disrupted education plans)
• Rehabilitation costs (physical therapy, ongoing treatment)

Non-Economic Damages

• Pain and suffering (physical pain from injuries)
• Mental anguish (trauma from abuse)
• Emotional distress (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (impact on daily activities)
• Disfigurement (scars from physical abuse)

Punitive Damages

• Punishment for egregious conduct (like waterboarding)
• Deterrent for other organizations
• Only awarded in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm

Montrose County families: These damages aren’t theoretical. We’re currently seeking $10 million for our client. Similar results are possible for Montrose County victims.

📅 Colorado Statute of Limitations — ACT NOW

Time is not on your side. Colorado law limits how long you have to file a lawsuit after hazing occurs.

What this means for Montrose County families:

• If your child was hazed last semester, the clock is ticking
• Evidence disappears over time
• Witnesses forget details
• Organizations destroy records
• Your legal rights expire

🛡️ How Attorney 911 Protects Montrose County Hazing Victims

We Understand the Culture — And How to Fight It

Greek life operates on a culture of secrecy and loyalty. Victims are pressured to stay silent. Organizations close ranks to protect themselves.

We know how they think. We know how they’ll fight back. And we know how to win.

Our attorneys have:

• Former insurance defense experience — we know their playbook

🎯 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Montrose County

Step 1: Ensure Safety and Medical Care

If your child is in immediate danger or needs medical attention:

• Call 911 if it’s an emergency
• Go to the nearest emergency room — document all injuries
• Follow up with a doctor — even if injuries seem minor

Important: Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not show symptoms immediately. Get checked even if your child says they’re “fine.”

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Do not delete anything. Save:

• Text messages (GroupMe, iMessage, WhatsApp, Snapchat)
• Social media posts (screenshots of all hazing-related content)
• Photos/videos (of injuries, hazing activities, locations)
• Fraternity/sorority documents (pledge manuals, schedules, rules)
• Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes, therapy records)
• Witness information (names and contact info of other pledges)

If you’re not sure if something is evidence, save it anyway. Let us decide what’s important.

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to Anyone Without Legal Counsel

Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to control the narrative. They may:

• Ask your child to sign documents
• Request “statements” about what happened
• Offer “apologies” or “settlements” without legal advice
• Pressure your child to stay silent

Do not let them manipulate you. Anything you say can be used against you.

Before talking to anyone — including university administrators — contact us first.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

Time is critical. The sooner we get involved, the better we can:

• Preserve evidence before it’s lost or destroyed
• Protect your rights against institutional pressure
• Build your case with expert witnesses and documentation
• Negotiate from strength with insurance companies and defendants

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Montrose County Families

Q: My child was hazed last semester. Is it too late to do anything?

A: It depends on when the hazing occurred. Colorado has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. However, evidence disappears quickly, and memories fade. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights.

Q: My child consented to participate. Does that mean we can’t sue?

A: No. Colorado law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the organization can still be held liable for the harm caused.

Q: The fraternity/sorority is saying this was just “tradition.” Is that a defense?

A: Absolutely not. “Tradition” does not justify illegal activity. Assault is assault. Battery is battery. Torture is torture — no matter what they call it.

Q: We’re not in Houston. Can you still help us in Montrose County?

A: Yes. While we’re based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide. We offer video consultations, remote case management, and will travel to Montrose County for your case.

Q: My child is afraid of retaliation. How can you protect them?

A: We understand the fear of retaliation. Our client in the Pi Kappa Phi case is fearful of doing an interview due to retribution. We take these concerns seriously. We can:

• Protect your child’s identity during early stages
• Demand non-retaliation agreements from defendants
• Pursue claims for emotional distress caused by fear of retaliation
• Hold organizations accountable for any intimidation

Q: How much is our hazing case worth?

A: Every case is different. Factors that affect value include:

• Severity of injuries
• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Psychological impact
• University’s knowledge of prior incidents
• Defendant’s ability to pay
• Pattern of hazing at the organization

In our current case, we’re seeking $10 million. Similar results are possible for Montrose County victims with serious injuries.

Q: Will this affect my child’s standing at the university?

A: We work to protect your child’s educational future. Many hazing victims fear expulsion or academic consequences for speaking out. We can negotiate protections as part of your case resolution.

Q: My child is an international student. Can we still pursue a case?

A: Yes. Your child’s immigration status does not affect their right to compensation. We represent international students and understand their unique concerns.

Q: How long will a hazing lawsuit take?

A: Most cases settle within 1-2 years. More complex cases (like ours) may take longer. Factors that affect timeline:

• Severity of injuries
• Number of defendants
• Whether litigation is required
• Defendant’s willingness to settle

We work to resolve cases as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

Q: What if the fraternity/sorority is already suspended or closed?

A: That doesn’t end your legal rights. In fact, it may strengthen your case:

• Shows the organization knew about the problem
• Demonstrates consciousness of guilt
• Opens up national organization’s assets
• May reveal pattern of similar incidents at other chapters

Our lawsuit was filed after Pi Kappa Phi closed their UH chapter — and we’re still pursuing them aggressively.
