🏢 The Hazing Crisis in Northwest Hills Planning Region

This Isn’t “Tradition.” This Is Abuse.

Hazing isn’t harmless fun. It’s assault. It’s battery. It’s torture. And it’s happening at colleges and universities near Northwest Hills Planning Region.

In our current case, Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members at the University of Houston:

• Waterboarded a pledge with a garden hose (simulated drowning — considered torture under international law)
• Forced him to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he couldn’t stand
• Struck him with wooden paddles
• Forced him to eat until he vomited, then made him lie in his own vomit
• Hospitalized him with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure (a life-threatening condition from muscle breakdown)

This same fraternity — Pi Kappa Phi — has chapters at universities near Northwest Hills Planning Region. The same national organization that allowed this to happen in Houston oversees chapters in Northwest Hills Planning Region. The same “traditions” that sent our client to the hospital exist in Northwest Hills Planning Region.

Universities in Northwest Hills Planning Region Are Complicit

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where this torture occurred. They collected rent while students were being waterboarded. They had the power to inspect, regulate, and shut it down — they chose not to.

Universities near Northwest Hills Planning Region face the same liability. They:

• Own or control fraternity houses where hazing occurs
• Have the power to regulate Greek life but often look the other way
• Receive tuition and fees from students they fail to protect
• Prioritize reputation over safety — until someone gets hurt

Northwest Hills Planning Region parents: Your child’s university is failing them.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Northwest Hills Planning Region Hazing Victim

Hazing Is Illegal in Connecticut

Connecticut has strong laws against hazing. Under Connecticut General Statutes § 53-23a, hazing is a criminal offense that can result in:

• Fines
• Jail time for perpetrators
• Civil liability for organizations and individuals

Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says consent doesn’t matter when it comes to hazing.

You Can Sue for Civil Damages

You have the right to file a civil lawsuit against:

• The local fraternity chapter (for organizing and conducting hazing)
• The national fraternity/sorority organization (for failing to supervise and prevent hazing)
• The university (for failing to protect students, especially if they own the property)
• Individual members (for participating in or facilitating hazing)

We pursue every liable party — no one gets away with hurting your child.

💰 What Northwest Hills Planning Region Hazing Victims Can Recover

Hazing cases result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. Here’s what Northwest Hills Planning Region victims can recover:

1. Medical Expenses

• Past medical bills (ER visits, hospital stays, treatments)
• Future medical costs (ongoing therapy, kidney monitoring, potential dialysis/transplant)
• Mental health treatment (PTSD, anxiety, depression from hazing trauma)

2. Lost Wages and Earning Capacity

• Time missed from work during recovery
• Impact on future career opportunities
• If injuries are permanent, loss of earning potential

3. Pain and Suffering

• Physical pain from hazing (waterboarding, forced exercise, paddling)
• Emotional trauma (humiliation, fear, PTSD)
• Loss of enjoyment of life (inability to participate in normal activities)

4. Punitive Damages (to Punish the Wrongdoers)

When conduct is especially egregious (like waterboarding or forcing exercise until kidney failure), courts award punitive damages to punish the defendants and deter future hazing.

📋 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Northwest Hills Planning Region

Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor

• Do NOT delete anything — even if it seems embarrassing or incriminating

Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

• They will try to control the narrative
• They will try to get you to sign away your rights
• They will try to minimize what happened
• Anything you say can be used against you

Step 4: Do NOT Post on Social Media

• Do not post about the incident

❓ Frequently Asked Questions for Northwest Hills Planning Region Families

1. My child was hazed, but they don’t want to report it. What should I do?

We understand the fear and shame that keeps victims silent. But hazing doesn’t stop until someone speaks up. The longer you wait:

• Evidence disappears
• Witnesses forget
• The statute of limitations runs out
• Other students get hurt

We can help your child understand their rights and options without pressure. Call us for a confidential consultation.

2. We’re in Northwest Hills Planning Region — can you really help us?

Yes. While we’re based in Texas, we serve hazing victims nationwide, including Northwest Hills Planning Region. We have:

• Federal court authority to pursue your case
• Video consultation technology to meet remotely
• Willingness to travel to Northwest Hills Planning Region for depositions and trials

Distance is not a barrier to justice.

3. How much does it cost to hire you?

$0 upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis — we only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery, so you pay nothing unless we get you money.

4. What if my child was partially at fault?

Connecticut law says consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law does not allow fraternities to use that as an excuse.

Additionally, peer pressure, fear of social exclusion, and power dynamics mean true “consent” is often impossible. We’ll fight any attempt to blame the victim.

5. How long will this take?

Every case is different. Some settle in 6-12 months. Others take 2-3 years if they go to trial. We’ll work to resolve your case as quickly as possible while maximizing your recovery.

6. Will this affect my child’s academic or athletic standing?

We understand your concerns about retaliation or impact on your child’s future. We’ll work to protect your child’s privacy and academic standing while pursuing justice. Many universities have policies against retaliation — we’ll hold them to those standards.

7. What if the fraternity says it was “just a prank”?

Hazing is not a prank. It’s assault. It’s battery. It’s torture. When a student is:

• Waterboarded
• Forced to do 500 squats until they collapse
• Struck with wooden paddles
• Hospitalized with kidney failure

That is not a prank. That is a crime.
