Understanding Hazing in 2025: Beyond the Stereotypes

For Nassau Bay families sending children to Texas universities, understanding what modern hazing actually looks like is critical. The old stereotypes of harmless pranks have been replaced by dangerous, often criminal behavior that can cause permanent injury or death.

What Constitutes Hazing Today?

Hazing in 2025 means any forced, coerced, or strongly pressured action tied to joining, keeping membership, or gaining status in a group, where the behavior endangers physical or mental health, humiliates, or exploits. Even if your child “agreed,” the power imbalance and peer pressure mean it’s not true consent under Texas law.

Main Categories of Dangerous Hazing

Alcohol and Substance Hazing: This remains the most deadly form. Nassau Bay families should understand this includes forced drinking games, “lineups” where pledges must consume excessive alcohol, “Big/Little” nights with handles of liquor, and pressure to consume unknown substances.

Physical Hazing: Beyond traditional paddling, this now includes extreme calisthenics (“smokings” or workouts designed to cause injury), sleep deprivation rituals, food/water restriction, and exposure to dangerous environments. The Leonel Bermudez case at University of Houston involved forced consumption of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting, followed by immediate sprints.

Sexualized and Humiliating Hazing: Forced nudity, simulated sexual acts, degrading costumes, and acts with racial or sexist overtones. Another pledge in the UH Pi Kappa Phi case was hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour.

Psychological and Digital Hazing: Constant group chat monitoring, social media humiliation, 24/7 availability demands, and public shaming via platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok. This creates persistent psychological pressure that extends beyond physical events.

Where Hazing Happens in Texas Universities

Nassau Bay families should recognize that hazing extends beyond traditional Greek life:

Fraternities and sororities (IFC, Panhellenic, NPHC, multicultural)
Corps of Cadets programs (particularly relevant for Texas A&M families)
Athletic teams and spirit groups
Marching bands and performance organizations
Some service, cultural, and academic clubs

Texas Hazing Law: What Nassau Bay Families Need to Know

Texas Education Code – Chapter 37: The Hazing Statute

Under Texas law—which governs cases involving Nassau Bay students—hazing is broadly defined as any intentional, knowing, or reckless act, on or off campus, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for purposes of affiliation with any organization.

Key Provisions for Nassau Bay Families:

§ 37.151 Definition: Covers both physical and mental harm, occurs on or off campus, and includes “reckless” conduct (not just intentional).

§ 37.152 Criminal Penalties:

Class B Misdemeanor: Hazing without serious injury
Class A Misdemeanor: Hazing causing injury requiring medical treatment
State Jail Felony: Hazing causing serious bodily injury or death

§ 37.153 Organizational Liability: Organizations can be fined up to $10,000 per violation and face campus bans.

§ 37.155 Critical Protection: Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed,” it’s still hazing under Texas law.

Criminal vs. Civil Cases: Understanding the Difference

Criminal Cases: Brought by the state (prosecutor). Aim is punishment through jail, fines, or probation. Typical charges include hazing offenses, furnishing alcohol to minors, assault, battery, and in fatal cases, manslaughter.

Civil Cases: Brought by victims or surviving families. Aim is monetary compensation and accountability through damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and wrongful death.

Both can proceed simultaneously, and a criminal conviction is not required for a civil case. In fact, many families pursue civil actions when criminal charges aren’t filed or don’t fully address their harm.

Federal Law Overlay: Additional Protections

Stop Campus Hazing Act (2024): Requires colleges receiving federal aid to report hazing incidents more transparently and maintain public hazing data by 2026.

Title IX: When hazing involves sexual harassment, sexual assault, or gender-based hostility, Title IX obligations are triggered, providing additional recourse.

Clery Act: Requires reporting certain crimes and maintaining safety statistics—hazing incidents often overlap with assault or alcohol crime reporting requirements.

The Flagship Case: Leonel Bermudez vs. University of Houston & Pi Kappa Phi

Right now, in our own backyard, we’re fighting one of the most serious hazing cases in Texas history. This case demonstrates exactly what Nassau Bay families are up against when hazing occurs.

Case Overview: $10 Million Hazing and Abuse Lawsuit

Leonel Bermudez, a University of Houston student, suffered catastrophic injuries during his fall 2025 pledge period with Pi Kappa Phi’s Beta Nu chapter. The hazing included:

Humiliating “pledge fanny pack” requirements containing condoms, sex toys, nicotine devices, and other degrading items
Extreme physical abuse including sprints, bear crawls, wheelbarrow races, and “save-your-brother” drills
Forced consumption rituals of milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting, followed by immediate sprints
Cold-weather exposure in underwear
Hose spraying in the face “similar to waterboarding” with threats of actual waterboarding
The November 3 workout: 100+ push-ups, 500 squats, and creed recitation under threat of expulsion

Medical Catastrophe: From Hazing to Hospitalization

After the November 3 hazing, Bermudez’s condition deteriorated over several days until he was passing brown urine and couldn’t stand without help. His mother rushed him to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with:

Rhabdomyolysis: Severe skeletal muscle breakdown
Acute Kidney Failure: Critically high creatine kinase levels confirming kidney injury
Four-day hospitalization with ongoing risk of permanent kidney damage

Institutional Response and Legal Action

The lawsuit names 17 defendants including:

University of Houston and UH System Board of Regents
Pi Kappa Phi national headquarters
Pi Kappa Phi Beta Nu housing corporation
13 individual fraternity leaders/members (chapter president, pledgemaster, sorority relations chair, risk manager, and others)

Timeline of Institutional Action:

Nov 6, 2025: Pi Kappa Phi HQ suspends Beta Nu chapter
Nov 14, 2025: Chapter members vote to surrender their charter; chapter is shut down
UH labels conduct “deeply disturbing” and promises disciplinary measures up to expulsion

This case, filed in Harris County, shows that even when universities and nationals claim “zero tolerance,” serious litigation is often necessary to achieve real accountability. Media coverage from Click2Houston and ABC13 has detailed these horrific allegations.

National Hazing Case Patterns: Lessons for Nassau Bay Families

Alcohol Poisoning Death Pattern

Stone Foltz – Bowling Green State University, Pi Kappa Alpha (2021): Forced to drink nearly a full bottle of whiskey during “Big/Little” night; died from alcohol poisoning. $10 million settlement ($7M from Pi Kappa Alpha national, ~$3M from BGSU).

Max Gruver – LSU, Phi Delta Theta (2017): “Bible study” drinking game where wrong answers meant forced drinking; died with 0.495% BAC. Led to Louisiana’s Max Gruver Act making hazing a felony.

Timothy Piazza – Penn State, Beta Theta Pi (2017): Bid acceptance night with extreme drinking; fatal falls captured on chapter cameras; delayed medical help. Resulted in Timothy J. Piazza Anti-Hazing Law in Pennsylvania.

Physical and Ritualized Hazing Pattern

Chun “Michael” Deng – Baruch College, Pi Delta Psi (2013): Blindfolded, weighted “glass ceiling” ritual at remote retreat; fatal head injuries; delayed 911 call. National fraternity criminally convicted and banned from Pennsylvania for 10 years.

Athletic Program Hazing

Northwestern University Football (2023–2025): Former players alleged sexualized, racist hazing within the football program. Multiple lawsuits against university and staff; head coach fired and later settled wrongful-termination suit confidentially.

What These Cases Mean for Nassau Bay Families

These national cases establish critical precedents that benefit Texas families:

Pattern evidence showing national fraternities knew or should have known about dangerous traditions
Multi-million dollar settlements demonstrating the value courts place on these cases
Legislative reforms that strengthen hazing laws nationwide
Legal strategies that have been tested and proven in courts across the country

The Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine: Uncovering the True Scope of Greek Life

At Attorney911, we maintain what we call our Texas Hazing Intelligence Engine—a comprehensive database tracking every fraternity, sorority, and Greek organization in Texas. This investigative tool is critical for Nassau Bay families to understand the true scale of the Greek ecosystem their children may encounter.

Public Records Directory: Texas Greek Organizations

Through IRS B83 filings and other public records, we track 1,423 Greek-related organizations across 25 Texas metropolitan areas. This includes house corporations, alumni chapters, honor societies, and other entities that often hold insurance and liability for hazing incidents.

For Nassau Bay families in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land metro area, there are 188 Greek-related organizations recorded in public filings. These include entities like:

Beta Nu Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity Housing Corporation Inc (EIN 462267515) – Frisco, TX 75035
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority – Beta Sigma Chapter – Houston, TX
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority – Houston Alumnae – Houston, TX
Alpha Phi Omega – Bayou City Alumni – Houston, TX
Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity – Texas District – Houston, TX

Statewide IRS B83 Registered Organizations include:

Kappa Sigma – Mu Camma Chapter Inc (EIN 133048786) – College Station, TX 77845
Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity Inc – Theta Delta Chapter (EIN 475370943) – Houston, TX 77204
Sigma Chi Fraternity Epsilon Xi Chapter (EIN 746084905) – Houston, TX 77204
Texas Kappa Sigma Educational Foundation Inc (EIN 741380362) – Fort Worth, TX 76147
Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi – Texas A&M University Chapter (EIN 900293166) – College Station, TX 77843

Why This Data Matters for Nassau Bay Families

When hazing occurs, identifying every potentially liable entity is crucial. Many organizations operate through multiple legal entities:

Undergraduate chapters (often the direct perpetrators)
House corporations (own property and assets)
Alumni associations (may control funds and oversight)
National headquarters (set policies and collect dues)
Insurance carriers (provide coverage for multiple entities)

Our data engine helps us immediately identify these connections, preventing organizations from hiding behind complex corporate structures. In the Bermudez case, this allowed us to name not just the local chapter, but the housing corporation, national headquarters, and individual officers.

University-Specific Hazing Environments: Where Nassau Bay Students Attend

University of Houston: Nassau Bay’s Neighboring Campus

For Nassau Bay families, UH represents both the closest major university and the site of our ongoing flagship hazing litigation. Located just minutes away in Harris County, UH’s Greek life includes:

UH Interfraternity Council Fraternities:

Alpha Epsilon Pi, Alpha Sigma Phi, Beta Theta Pi
Delta Upsilon, Kappa Sigma, Lambda Chi Alpha
Pi Kappa Phi (subject of Bermudez lawsuit)
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu
Tau Kappa Epsilon, Theta Chi, and others

UH Hazing Policy & Reporting:
UH prohibits hazing on or off campus and provides reporting through the Dean of Students Office, Office of Student Conduct, and UHPD. The university’s response to the Pi Kappa Phi case—labeling conduct “deeply disturbing” and promising cooperation with law enforcement—sets a precedent for how they might handle future cases.

What Nassau Bay Families Should Know About UH:

Hazing cases may involve UHPD and/or Houston Police Department depending on location
Civil suits typically filed in Harris County courts
UH as a public university has some sovereign immunity but exceptions exist for gross negligence
The Bermudez case establishes that UH can be held accountable when they knew or should have known about hazing

Texas A&M University: Corps Culture and Greek Life

Though further from Nassau Bay, Texas A&M attracts many Texas students and presents unique hazing risks, particularly in its Corps of Cadets program.

Documented A&M Hazing Incidents:

Sigma Alpha Epsilon Chemical Burns Case (2021): Pledges allegedly covered in substances including industrial-strength cleaner, causing severe chemical burns requiring skin graft surgeries. Plaintiffs sought $1 million in damages.

Corps of Cadets Lawsuit (2023): Cadet alleged degrading hazing including simulated sexual acts and being bound between beds in a “roasted pig” pose with an apple in his mouth. Sought over $1 million; A&M stated it handled the matter under its rules.

A&M’s Greek Life Includes:

Sigma Chi Fraternity – Eta Upsilon Chapter (College Station)
Beta Theta Pi – Eta Chapter House Corp (College Station)
Delta Sigma Theta – Brazos Valley Alumnae (College Station)

For Nassau Bay Families with Students at A&M:

The Corps of Cadets presents unique hazing risks beyond traditional Greek life
Brazos County courts typically handle local cases
A&M’s status as a public university affects litigation strategy
Prior incidents establish pattern evidence for future cases

University of Texas at Austin: Transparency and Tradition

UT Austin maintains one of Texas’ most transparent hazing reporting systems through its public Hazing Violations page, which lists organizations, dates, conduct, and sanctions.

Recent UT Hazing Violations:

Pi Kappa Alpha (2023): New members directed to consume milk and perform strenuous calisthenics; found to be hazing; chapter placed on probation with required hazing-prevention education.

Other Sanctioned Groups: Texas Wranglers and other spirit organizations have faced sanctions for forced workouts, alcohol-related hazing, or punishment-based practices.

UT’s Greek Ecosystem Includes:

Sigma Alpha Epsilon – Texas Rho Corp (Austin)
Delta Tau Delta – Gamma Iota Chapter (Austin)
Building Corporation – Alpha Delta Pi (Austin)
Beta Xi House Corp of Kappa Kappa Gamma (Austin)

For Nassau Bay Families Considering UT:

Public hazing logs provide valuable pre-incident evidence
Travis County courts handle Austin-based cases
UT’s transparency doesn’t eliminate risk—repeated violations show ongoing issues
The university’s size and Greek life prominence mean heightened vigilance is necessary

Southern Methodist University and Baylor University

While further from Nassau Bay, these universities represent common choices for Texas families and present their own hazing challenges.

SMU’s Documented Issues:

Kappa Alpha Order incident (2017): New members reportedly paddled, forced to drink alcohol, deprived of sleep; chapter suspended until approximately 2021
Private university status affects transparency and litigation strategy

Baylor’s Historical Context:

Baseball hazing (2020): 14 players suspended following hazing investigation
Religious identity and past scandals create complex institutional dynamics
Waco-based courts (McLennan County) handle local cases

Fraternity and Sorority National Histories: Pattern Evidence That Matters

When Nassau Bay students join organizations with national histories of hazing, those patterns become critical evidence in any subsequent litigation. Here’s what families need to know about major organizations present at Texas universities:

Pi Kappa Alpha (ΠΚΑ / Pike)

National Hazing History: Stone Foltz alcohol poisoning death (BGSU, $10M settlement); David Bogenberger alcohol death (NIU, $14M settlement); multiple chapter closures nationwide.
Texas Presence: Active at UH, Texas A&M, UT Austin, SMU, Baylor
Legal Significance: Pattern of “Big/Little” alcohol hazing establishes foreseeability

Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣΑΕ / SAE)

National Hazing History: Multiple alcohol-related deaths nationwide; traumatic brain injury case (University of Alabama); chemical burns case (Texas A&M)
Texas Presence: Active at UH, Texas A&M, UT Austin, SMU
Legal Significance: Known pattern of physical and alcohol hazing

Pi Kappa Phi (ΠΚΦ)

National Hazing History: Andrew Coffey alcohol death (FSU); ongoing Bermudez case (UH)
Texas Presence: Active at UH, Texas A&M, UT Austin
Legal Significance: Direct Texas litigation experience through Bermudez case

Phi Delta Theta (ΦΔΘ)

National Hazing History: Max Gruver alcohol death (LSU); led to Louisiana felony hazing law
Texas Presence: Active at UH, Texas A&M, UT Austin, SMU, Baylor
Legal Significance: Pattern of drinking game hazing

Why National Histories Matter Legally

These patterns help establish:

Foreseeability: Nationals knew or should have known about dangerous traditions
Negligence: Failure to implement effective prevention despite prior incidents
Punitive Damages Basis: Repeated warnings ignored
Insurance Coverage Arguments: Pattern shows systemic issues beyond “rogue” chapters

Building a Hazing Case: Evidence, Strategy, and Damages

Critical Evidence Collection for Nassau Bay Families

Digital Evidence (Most Critical):

Group chats: GroupMe, WhatsApp, iMessage, Discord screenshots
Social media: Instagram stories, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook posts
Recovered messages: Digital forensics can retrieve deleted content
Location data: Geo-tags, Find My Friends sharing, check-ins

Physical and Medical Evidence:

Medical records: ER reports, hospitalization records, lab results (like Bermudez’s creatine kinase levels)
Photographic evidence: Injuries from multiple angles with scale reference
Physical items: Clothing, paddles, alcohol containers, “pledge” items

Institutional Records:

University files: Prior conduct violations, probation records, incident reports
National fraternity records: Risk management files, prior incident reports
Insurance policies: Coverage documents for all potentially liable entities

Witness Information:

Other pledges and members
Roommates, RAs, bystanders
Emergency responders and medical personnel

Damages in Hazing Cases: What Nassau Bay Families Can Recover

Economic Damages:

Medical expenses: Past and future care, including specialized treatment for conditions like rhabdomyolysis
Lost earnings: Time off work for recovery, diminished future earning capacity
Educational costs: Tuition for missed semesters, lost scholarships

Non-Economic Damages:

Physical pain and suffering from injuries
Emotional distress, PTSD, anxiety, depression
Loss of enjoyment of life and educational experience
Humiliation and reputational harm

Wrongful Death Damages (When Applicable):

Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of financial support and companionship
Emotional suffering of family members

Punitive Damages:
In cases of particularly egregious conduct or cover-ups, courts may award punitive damages to punish defendants and deter future behavior.

Legal Strategy: Why Experience Matters

Overcoming Common Defense Tactics:

Defense: “The Pledge Consented”
Our Response: Texas law § 37.155 explicitly states consent is not a defense. We demonstrate coercion through power imbalance and peer pressure evidence.

Defense: “Rogue Chapter – National Didn’t Know”
Our Response: We use national pattern evidence and prior incident reports to show foreseeability and negligent supervision.

Defense: “Insurance Doesn’t Cover Intentional Acts”
Our Response: We argue negligent supervision claims are covered, and pursue multiple insurance policies through creative legal strategies.

Defense: “Off-Campus Location – Not Our Responsibility”
Our Response: We establish control and sponsorship relationships that create duty regardless of location.
