Hazing Victims in Pushmataha County: Know Your Rights and How to Fight Back
This Could Be Happening to Your Child Right Now
Pushmataha County families send their children off to college with dreams of opportunity, friendship, and growth. But what if those dreams turn into a nightmare of abuse, humiliation, and life-threatening danger? Hazing is happening at universities near Pushmataha County—and it’s not just “harmless tradition.” It’s torture.
If your child has been hazed in Pushmataha County or at any university across Oklahoma or the nation, you have legal rights. And you’re not alone in this fight. Attorney 911 is currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston—proving that fraternities, sororities, and universities will be held accountable for the harm they cause.
What Is Hazing? The Pushmataha County Reality
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “girls bonding.” It’s systematic abuse disguised as initiation. And in Pushmataha County, just like in Houston, it’s happening in ways that can—and do—destroy lives.
Real Hazing Incidents That Could Happen Near Pushmataha County
🚨 Waterboarding—Simulated Drowning as “Tradition”
In our current case, a University of Houston student was waterboarded with a garden hose—a form of torture recognized internationally as a war crime. This is not hazing. This is assault.
🚨 Forced Exercise Until Kidney Failure
Our client was forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, and repeated 100-yard crawls until his muscles broke down, causing rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure. He spent four days in the hospital fighting for his life.
🚨 Forced Consumption Until Vomiting—and Then More
Pledges were made to drink milk, eat hot dogs, and swallow peppercorns until they vomited—then forced to keep running sprints while in physical distress.
🚨 Physical Beatings with Wooden Paddles
Students were struck with wooden paddles—a form of battery that leaves physical and emotional scars.
🚨 Sleep Deprivation and Exhaustion
Pledges were forced to drive fraternity members during early morning hours, leading to exhaustion that affected their daily lives.
🚨 Psychological Torture and Humiliation
- Hog-tying a pledge face-down on a table with an object in his mouth for over an hour
- Forcing pledges to carry fanny packs with sexual objects at all times
- Threatening expulsion or physical punishment if they resisted
Why Pushmataha County Families Need to Pay Attention
🔴 The Same Fraternities Operate Near Pushmataha County
Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national fraternities have chapters at universities near Pushmataha County. The same organizations that hospitalized our client in Houston are active in Oklahoma.
🔴 Universities Near Pushmataha County Are Just as Liable
The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was tortured. They knew about prior hazing incidents but did nothing to stop it. Does your child’s university know what’s happening in their Greek organizations?
🔴 Hazing is a Crime in Oklahoma
Oklahoma has anti-hazing laws that make this conduct illegal. But universities and fraternities rarely enforce them—until someone gets hurt or killed.
🔴 Victims Are Afraid to Speak Up
Our client was fearful of retribution for speaking out. Pushmataha County students face the same fear. But silence only protects the abusers.
The Legal Truth: Consent Is NOT a Defense
Fraternities and sororities will try to argue:
❌ “He agreed to participate.”
❌ “She knew what she was signing up for.”
❌ “They could have left at any time.”
But Oklahoma law says: CONSENT DOES NOT MATTER.
Under Oklahoma’s anti-hazing statutes, hazing is illegal regardless of whether the victim “consented.” The law recognizes that peer pressure, fear of social exclusion, and coercion make true consent impossible.
Who Is Liable for Hazing in Pushmataha County?
If your child was hazed, multiple parties can—and should—be held accountable:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable |
|---|---|
| Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter | Directly organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Fraternity/Sorority Organization | Knew about hazing risks but failed to stop it |
| University/College | Failed to supervise Greek life; may own the property where hazing occurred |
| Individual Members | Participated in or allowed the abuse to happen |
| Alumni/Advisors | Hosted hazing events or failed to report abuse |
| Housing Corporations | Owned the property where hazing occurred |
In our Houston case, we’re suing:
✅ The local chapter
✅ The national organization
✅ The University of Houston
✅ Individual members
✅ Former members who hosted hazing
Pushmataha County families deserve the same aggressive representation.
What Pushmataha County Families Can Do Right Now
🚨 Step 1: Get Medical Attention Immediately
- Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) can be deadly—symptoms include brown urine, severe muscle pain, and inability to move.
- Alcohol poisoning can kill—if your child was forced to drink, seek emergency care.
- Psychological trauma is real—PTSD, anxiety, and depression require professional help.
