🚨 Hazing Is Happening in New Kent County — And It’s Not Just “Tradition”
New Kent County parents send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust that universities near New Kent County will protect their students. They believe that Greek organizations will provide positive experiences.
But the truth is horrifying.
Right now, in fraternities and sororities near New Kent County, students are being:
- Waterboarded — simulated drowning with hoses
- Beaten with paddles — physical assault with weapons
- Forced to do 500+ squats — until their muscles break down
- Made to eat until they vomit — then forced to keep going
- Sleep-deprived for days — causing exhaustion and danger
- Humiliated and degraded — carrying sexual objects, stripped in public
This isn’t “brotherhood.” This isn’t “sisterhood.” This is torture.
And it’s happening at universities near New Kent County — just like it’s happening across America.
🏥 The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill
In November 2025, our attorneys filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston for hazing that hospitalized a student with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure.
What is rhabdomyolysis?
It’s the breakdown of muscle tissue that releases a damaging protein into the blood. It can cause:
- Acute kidney failure — life-threatening
- Permanent kidney damage — requiring dialysis or transplant
- Cardiac arrest — from electrolyte imbalances
- Death
This student spent 4 days in the hospital fighting for his life — because a fraternity thought torture was acceptable.
The same fraternities operate at universities near New Kent County.
The same risks exist for New Kent County students.
The same negligence is happening at New Kent County institutions.
🏛️ Who Is Responsible for Hazing in New Kent County?
When hazing happens near New Kent County, multiple parties are liable:
| Defendant | Why They’re Responsible |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing risks but failed to supervise |
| University | Failed to protect students despite knowing hazing occurs |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed the hazing |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop the abuse |
| Alumni/Hosts | Allowed hazing at their homes; premises liability |
| Insurance Companies | Coverage for institutional and individual liability |
New Kent County families: If your child was hazed, we will pursue EVERY responsible party — not just the students, but the institutions that enabled them.
💰 Hazing Cases Win Millions — New Kent County Victims Deserve Justice
Hazing lawsuits have resulted in multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements:
| Case | University | Fraternity | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stone Foltz | Bowling Green State | Pi Kappa Alpha | $10.1 million |
| Maxwell Gruver | Louisiana State | Phi Delta Theta | $6.1 million jury verdict |
| Timothy Piazza | Penn State | Beta Theta Pi | $110+ million |
| Andrew Coffey | Florida State | Pi Kappa Phi | Confidential settlement |
| Leonel Bermudez | University of Houston | Pi Kappa Phi | $10 million lawsuit pending |
These results prove that hazing cases WIN. The same legal strategies apply to New Kent County cases.
New Kent County families: You don’t have to accept “tradition” as an excuse. You don’t have to stay silent. You can fight back — and win.
⚖️ New Kent County Hazing Victims’ Legal Rights
Virginia Hazing Law — What You Need to Know
Virginia has strong anti-hazing laws. Under Virginia Code § 18.2-56, hazing is a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
But criminal charges are just the beginning. New Kent County families can also file civil lawsuits for:
- Negligence — Institutions failed to protect students
- Assault and Battery — Physical abuse is a crime
- Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress — Psychological torture
- Premises Liability — Hazing occurred on dangerous property
- Wrongful Death — If hazing results in fatality
Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, Virginia law says consent does not matter when it comes to hazing.
