💔 What Hazing Really Looks Like in Reagan County
Hazing isn’t “boys being boys.” It isn’t “tradition.” It isn’t “building character.”
In Reagan County and across Texas, hazing is:
- Waterboarding — simulated drowning with hoses
- Forced eating until vomiting, then forced to keep running
- 500 squats, 100 pushups until muscles break down
- Wooden paddles striking bodies
- Sleep deprivation — forced to drive fraternity members at all hours
- Psychological torture — humiliation, degradation, threats
- Sexual abuse — forced nudity, sexual acts, carrying sexual objects
- Kidney failure from extreme physical exertion
- Death
This is happening at universities near Reagan County right now. The same national fraternities that waterboarded our client in Houston have chapters near Reagan County. The same negligence that hospitalized our client exists at Reagan County institutions.

⚖️ Texas Hazing Law: Reagan County Victims’ Rights
Texas Education Code § 37.151-37.157 — Anti-Hazing Law
Definition of Hazing:
Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, initiation, affiliation, holding office, or maintaining membership in an organization.
This includes:
- Physical brutality (500 squats, wooden paddles)
- Forced consumption (eating until vomiting)
- Sleep deprivation (forced late-night driving)
- Exposure to elements (stripping in cold weather)
- Psychological abuse (humiliation, threats)
🚨 CONSENT IS NOT A DEFENSE IN TEXAS.
“It is not a defense to prosecution that the person against whom the hazing was directed consented to or acquiesced in the hazing activity.” — Texas Education Code § 37.154
When fraternities say “he agreed to participate,” Texas law says: CONSENT DOESN’T MATTER.
🔍 What to Do If Your Reagan County Child Is Hazed

- Preserve Evidence — Texts, photos, videos, witness names
- Do NOT Talk to the Organization — They will destroy evidence and intimidate witnesses
- Do NOT Post on Social Media — Anything you post can be used against you
- Call an Attorney Immediately — 2-year statute of limitations in Texas

Reagan County families: Don’t make these mistakes. Call 1-888-ATTY-911 now.

📢 What Reagan County Fraternities Don’t Want You to Know
1. They Knew Hazing Was Dangerous
Pi Kappa Phi had a student die from hazing in 2017 (Andrew Coffey). They did nothing. Now our client was hospitalized.
2. Universities Are Complicit
University of Houston owned the fraternity house where waterboarding occurred. They collected rent while students were tortured.
3. They’ll Try to Blame Your Child
Their first defense: “He consented.” Texas law says consent doesn’t matter.
4. They Have Deep Pockets
National fraternities have millions in assets and insurance. They can afford to pay.
5. They’re Already Planning to Come Back
Pi Kappa Phi’s statement: “We look forward to returning to campus.” They’re not sorry. They’re waiting.
