🔥 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Nome Census Area
In November 2025, a young man named Leonel Bermudez accepted a bid to join Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston. What followed was weeks of systematic abuse that hospitalized him for three nights and four days with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure.
The Hazing Activities That Hospitalized Our Client:
✅ Waterboarding with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
✅ Forced to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until he collapsed
✅ Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
✅ Forced to eat milk, hot dogs, and peppercorns until vomiting — then forced to keep running
✅ Forced to lie in vomit-soaked grass after vomiting
✅ Another pledge hog-tied face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour
✅ A pledge lost consciousness and collapsed during a workout — they kept going
Result: Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, 4-day hospitalization.
This wasn’t “tradition.” This wasn’t “brotherhood.” This was torture.
Why This Matters to Nome Census Area Families:
- Pi Kappa Phi has 150+ chapters across America — including near Nome Census Area
- The same national fraternities that operate at Nome Census Area universities have paid millions in hazing settlements
- Universities near Nome Census Area have the same power — and the same liability — as University of Houston
