Hazing Victims in Napa County Deserve Justice – We Can Help
Napa County families: If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization, you are not alone. Hazing is not tradition—it’s abuse. And it’s happening right here in Napa County.
At Attorney 911, we are actively fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—a case that proves hazing can lead to kidney failure, psychological trauma, and even death. The same fraternities and universities operating near Napa County are putting your children at risk.
We don’t just talk about hazing—we’re in the courtroom right now, holding institutions accountable. And we will bring that same fight to Napa County.
🚨 This Happens in Napa County Too
Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities—it happens right here in Napa County. The same national fraternities and sororities involved in deadly hazing cases across the country have active chapters near Napa County.
Universities Near Napa County with Greek Life:
- Sonoma State University (Rohnert Park)
- UC Davis (Davis)
- Sacramento State University (Sacramento)
- Saint Mary’s College of California (Moraga)
- University of the Pacific (Stockton)
- San Francisco State University (San Francisco)
- UC Berkeley (Berkeley)
These schools have the same fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in hazing settlements nationwide. If your child attends or plans to attend any of these schools, they face the same risks that hospitalized our client in Houston.
💔 What Hazing Really Looks Like – The Napa County Warning Signs
Hazing isn’t just “rough initiation”—it’s torture disguised as tradition. Our client was:
✔ Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✔ Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
✔ Struck with wooden paddles
✔ Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to keep running
✔ Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure
This isn’t just hazing—it’s assault. And it happens in Napa County.
Common Hazing Practices in Napa County:
- Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, “chugging” games)
- Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, branding)
- Extreme exercise (marathon workouts, calisthenics to exhaustion)
- Sleep deprivation (late-night activities, forced servitude)
- Psychological torture (humiliation, threats, isolation)
- Sexual abuse (forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects)
If your child has experienced any of these, they may have a case.
⚖️ Your Legal Rights in Napa County
California has strong anti-hazing laws, and victims can sue for:
✅ Medical bills (hospital stays, therapy, future treatment)
✅ Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
✅ Lost wages (time missed from work or school)
✅ Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)
Who Can Be Sued in Napa County?
We pursue everyone responsible—not just the students involved, but the institutions that enable hazing:
- The local fraternity/sorority chapter (directly responsible)
- The national organization (failed to supervise, ignored warnings)
- The university (failed to protect students)
- Individual members (participated in or allowed hazing)
In our current case, we’re suing the fraternity, the university, and individual members—just as we will for Napa County victims.
