🚨 Hazing Victims in Pickaway County, Ohio — You Are Not Alone
What happened to your child at a fraternity or sorority near Pickaway County was not “tradition.” It was not “brotherhood.” It was not “building character.”
It was abuse. It was assault. It was torture. And it was completely preventable.
At Attorney 911, we are actively fighting this battle right now — and we will bring the same fight to Pickaway County.
🔥 This Is Happening in Pickaway County Too
You may think hazing is just a problem at big universities. It’s not. The same national fraternities that waterboarded a student at the University of Houston have active chapters at universities near Pickaway County.
Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, Beta Theta Pi, Sigma Chi, Kappa Sigma, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Nu, Delta Chi, Phi Sigma Kappa — these are the same organizations that have paid millions in hazing settlements nationwide.
They operate near Pickaway County. Your child could be next.
🏥 What Hazing Really Does to Pickaway County Students
Hazing isn’t just embarrassing or uncomfortable. It sends students to the hospital — or worse.
Medical Consequences of Hazing:
- Rhabdomyolysis — muscle breakdown that causes kidney failure (like our client in Houston)
- Alcohol poisoning — forced drinking that can be fatal
- Traumatic brain injury — from beatings or falls
- Hypothermia or heat stroke — from exposure to extreme weather
- Broken bones — from physical abuse
- Sexual assault — from forced nudity or worse
- PTSD, anxiety, depression — long-term psychological damage
- Death — at least one hazing death every year in America since 2000
This Is Not “Kids Being Kids.” This Is Torture.
- Waterboarding — simulated drowning with a garden hose
- 500 squats — until muscles break down
- Wooden paddles — striking pledges
- Forced eating — until vomiting
- Sleep deprivation — for days on end
- Psychological humiliation — carrying sexual objects, stripping in public
This is what fraternities near Pickaway County are doing to your children.
