🛡️ Protecting Randall County Students: Hazing Victims Deserve Justice

Randall County families — your children are at risk. And Attorney 911 is fighting to stop it.

We are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure. This isn’t just happening in Houston. The same fraternities operate at universities near Randall County. The same “traditions” exist. The same negligence persists.

If your child has been hazed in Randall County, we will fight for you with the same aggression we’re bringing to this case.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Randall County and Beyond

Hazing isn’t harmless “initiation.” It’s torture. It’s assault. It’s reckless endangerment. And it’s happening right here in Randall County.

What Hazing Looks Like in Randall County:

✅ Waterboarding — Simulated drowning with hoses
✅ Forced drinking — Until vomiting, alcohol poisoning, or death
✅ Extreme physical punishment — 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until collapse
✅ Beatings — With wooden paddles, belts, or other objects
✅ Sleep deprivation — Forced to drive members at all hours, disrupting sleep
✅ Psychological torture — Humiliation, carrying sexual objects, isolation
✅ Forced consumption — Eating until vomiting, then forced to continue activities

This isn’t tradition. This is abuse.

💔 Real Stories from Real Students — This Could Be Your Randall County Child

Leonel Bermudez — University of Houston (2025)

What happened: Waterboarded with a garden hose. Forced to do 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls. Struck with wooden paddles. Forced to eat until vomiting. Hospitalized for 4 days with rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure.

The fraternity’s response: They closed the chapter — then said they “look forward to returning to campus.”

Our response: We filed a $10 million lawsuit to hold them accountable.

Randall County families: This same fraternity has chapters at universities near you. The same waterboarding, the same forced exercise, the same wooden paddles. Your child could be next.

Andrew Coffey — Florida State University (2017)

What happened: Forced to drink an entire bottle of bourbon at a Pi Kappa Phi event. Died from alcohol poisoning.

The fraternity’s response: Chapter closed. No real change.

Our case’s connection: The same national organization that oversaw Andrew Coffey’s death oversaw Leonel Bermudez’s hospitalization. 8 years. Two serious incidents. Same fraternity.

Stone Foltz — Bowling Green State University (2021)

What happened: Forced to drink an entire bottle of alcohol at a Pi Kappa Alpha “Big/Little” event. Died from alcohol poisoning.

The outcome: $10.1 million settlement — the largest public university hazing payout in Ohio history.

Randall County connection: Pi Kappa Alpha has chapters at universities near Randall County. They’re still doing this.

Timothy Piazza — Penn State University (2017)

What happened: Forced to drink 18 drinks in 82 minutes at a Beta Theta Pi event. Fell down stairs multiple times. Fraternity members waited 12 hours before calling 911. Died from traumatic brain injury.

The outcome: $110+ million settlement. Multiple criminal convictions.

Randall County families: Beta Theta Pi has chapters near you. They could be doing the same thing.

⚖️ Randall County Parents: Know Your Legal Rights

Texas Hazing Law — What Randall County Families Need to Know

Texas has strong anti-hazing laws designed to protect students like yours. Consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter.

Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157:

✅ Hazing is illegal — Any activity that endangers mental or physical health for the purpose of initiation
✅ Criminal penalties — Up to State Jail Felony (180 days – 2 years) for hazing causing death
✅ Organizational liability — Fraternities and sororities can be fined up to $10,000 and lose recognition
✅ Consent is NOT a defense — Even if your child “agreed,” the law says that doesn’t excuse it
✅ Universities must report hazing — Failure to report is a crime

Randall County families: If your child was hazed, you have legal rights. And we know how to enforce them.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Randall County Hazing?

When hazing happens, everyone who participated or allowed it is responsible. In our current case, we’re pursuing:

🔹 The Local Chapter

• The fraternity or sorority chapter near Randall County that organized the hazing
• The officers who directed the activities
• The members who participated

🔹 The National Organization

• The national fraternity or sorority that failed to supervise
• The national organization that knew about hazing but didn’t stop it
• The national organization that has deep pockets and insurance

🔹 The University

• The Randall County-area university that failed to protect students
• The university that owns or controls the property where hazing occurred
• The university that knew about hazing risks but didn’t act

🔹 Individual Members

• Every person who participated in the hazing
• Every person who witnessed and didn’t stop it
• Every person who failed to call for medical help

Randall County families: We know how to identify all responsible parties. And we know how to make them pay.

📋 What to Do If Your Randall County Child Is Hazed

🚨 IMMEDIATE ACTION STEPS:

1. Get medical attention — Even if injuries seem minor, get checked. Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) may not appear immediately.
2. Preserve ALL evidence — Take photos of injuries. Save all texts, social media, GroupMe chats. Get witness names and contact info.
3. Do NOT talk to the organization — They will try to control the narrative. Anything you say can be used against you.
4. Do NOT post on social media — Anything you post can be used to undermine your case.
5. Contact an attorney IMMEDIATELY — The clock is ticking. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Call us now.
