🚨 Hazing in Richland Parish: What Families Need to Know
Hazing isn’t just a college problem—it’s happening right here in Richland Parish. Whether your child attends Grambling State University, University of Louisiana at Monroe, or another nearby institution, they could be at risk of dangerous hazing rituals that lead to serious injury, trauma, or even death.
At Attorney 911, we’re fighting back against hazing nationwide—including right here in Richland Parish. We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston after a student was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme abuse. The same fraternities and sororities operate in Richland Parish, and we’re here to hold them accountable.
🔥 What Is Hazing? (And Why It’s Illegal in Louisiana)
Hazing is any activity that endangers the physical or mental health of a student for the purpose of initiation, affiliation, or maintaining membership in a group. Louisiana law (La. R.S. 14:40.1) makes hazing a felony if it results in serious injury or death.
Common Hazing Practices in Richland Parish (and Beyond):
✔ Forced alcohol consumption (binge drinking, “chugging” games)
✔ Physical abuse (beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion)
✔ Waterboarding & simulated drowning (yes, this happens in Louisiana)
✔ Forced eating until vomiting (hot sauce, raw eggs, spoiled food)
✔ Sleep deprivation & psychological torture (isolation, humiliation, threats)
✔ Sexual assault & harassment (forced nudity, inappropriate touching)
These aren’t “traditions.” They’re crimes.
💔 Real Cases, Real Victims—The Same Hazing Happens in Richland Parish
📌 Our Current Case: $10M Lawsuit Against Pi Kappa Phi & UH
Victim: Leonel Bermudez (not yet enrolled at UH—hazed as a “ghost rush”)
Injuries: Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), acute kidney failure, 4-day hospitalization
Hazing Activities:
- Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
- Forced to do 500 squats, 100+ pushups until he collapsed
- Struck with wooden paddles
- Forced to eat until vomiting
- Another pledge lost consciousness during hazing
Same fraternities operate in Richland Parish. If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Richland Parish, they face the same risks.

🚨 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Richland Parish
✅ Step 1: Get Medical Help Immediately
- Rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and head injuries can be fatal.
- Go to the ER—even if injuries seem minor. (Symptoms like dark urine, extreme muscle pain, or confusion are medical emergencies.)
✅ Step 2: Preserve Evidence
- Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any objects used.
- Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs).
- Get witness names and contact info (other pledges, bystanders).
- Do NOT delete anything—even if it seems embarrassing or incriminating.
✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Alone
- They will try to silence your child, destroy evidence, or offer a lowball settlement.
- Never give a recorded statement to their insurance company or lawyers.
- Do NOT sign anything without consulting an attorney.
