🔴 What Is Hazing? — Pierce County Families Need to Know
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” In Wisconsin and across America, hazing is abuse, assault, and sometimes torture — and it’s illegal.
In Pierce County, hazing can include:
- Physical abuse: Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion (like 500 squats)
- Waterboarding or simulated drowning — yes, this happens in Pierce County too
- Forced consumption: Alcohol, food, or non-food items until vomiting
- Sleep deprivation: Late-night activities, forced driving, exhaustion
- Psychological torture: Humiliation, threats, isolation, sexual humiliation
- Servitude: Forced cleaning, errands, or labor for members
This isn’t tradition. It’s trauma.
And under Wisconsin law, consent is not a defense. Even if your child agreed to participate, the law says hazing is still illegal.
⚠️ The Hazing Crisis in Pierce County, Wisconsin
Hazing is happening at universities and colleges near Pierce County. National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, Phi Delta Theta, and others have active chapters across Wisconsin — and they have a documented history of hazing deaths and hospitalizations nationwide.
Just this month, Attorney 911 filed a $10 million lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi after a student was hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure from extreme hazing. The fraternity waterboarded him with a garden hose, forced him to eat until he vomited, and made him do 500 squats until he collapsed.
This didn’t happen in Texas. It could happen in Pierce County.
Universities near Pierce County have a duty to protect students. When they fail, they are liable. And the national fraternities? They have deep pockets and insurance — and they will pay when they’re held accountable.
💔 What Happens to Hazing Victims in Pierce County?

Pierce County families: If your child has been hazed, they are not alone — and they don’t have to suffer in silence.
🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Pierce County?
When hazing happens, everyone involved can be held legally responsible — not just the students who participated.
We sue:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local fraternity/sorority chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National fraternity/sorority organization | Failed to supervise; knew about hazing culture |
| University or college | Failed to protect students; may own the fraternity house |
| Chapter officers (President, Pledgemaster, etc.) | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing |
| Individual members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing |
| Alumni or hosts | Allowed hazing at their homes; premises liability |
| Insurance companies | Coverage for institutional liability |
In our current case, we’re suing the fraternity, the national organization, the university, and multiple individuals — including a former member and his spouse who hosted hazing at their home.
Pierce County families: We will pursue every liable party in your case.
💰 How Much Is a Hazing Case Worth in Pierce County?
