Hazing Lawyers in Rock County: Protecting Students and Holding Institutions Accountable
🚨 Rock County Parents: Your Child Could Be Next
Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or harmless “tradition.” It’s abuse. It’s torture. And in Rock County, it’s happening right now at colleges and universities where your children are trying to build their futures.
The same fraternities that waterboarded a student at University of Houston have chapters near Rock County. The same organizations that forced pledges to do 500 squats until their muscles broke down operate in our community. The same culture of abuse that put a young man in the hospital with kidney failure exists right here in Rock County.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases. We know how to win. And we’re bringing that same aggressive representation to Rock County families who need justice.
🏥 What Hazing Really Looks Like in Rock County

- Forced consumption: Alcohol binge drinking, eating until vomiting, consuming non-food substances
- Psychological torture: Waterboarding, sleep deprivation, humiliation rituals

⚖️ Rock County Hazing Laws: Know Your Rights
Nebraska has strong laws against hazing, and Rock County victims have legal options:
Nebraska Revised Statute § 28-311.06 – Hazing
- Definition: Any activity expected of someone joining a group that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers them, regardless of willingness to participate
- Penalty: Class II misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail, $1,000 fine)
- Enhanced penalty: If hazing results in serious bodily injury or death, it becomes a Class IV felony (up to 5 years in prison, $10,000 fine)
Consent is NOT a Defense
- Even if your child “agreed” to participate, consent doesn’t matter under Nebraska law
- Organizations can’t hide behind “tradition” or “he volunteered”
Civil Liability for Rock County Hazing
Rock County victims can sue for:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Lost wages
- Punitive damages (to punish egregious conduct)
💰 Who’s Responsible? Every Institution That Allowed This
When hazing happens in Rock County, multiple parties share liability:
| Defendant | Why They’re Liable in Rock County |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing culture; failed to supervise Rock County chapter |
| University/College | Failed to protect students despite knowing hazing occurs |
| Housing Corporation | Owned property where hazing occurred |
| Individual Members | Participated in or failed to stop hazing |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed activities |
Rock County parents: These aren’t just college kids making mistakes. These are tax-exempt corporations with insurance policies, real estate holdings, and million-dollar budgets. They have the resources to pay when they harm your child.
📚 The Hazing Crisis in Rock County Schools
Rock County is home to several educational institutions where Greek life and student organizations thrive. The same national fraternities and sororities with documented hazing histories operate right here in our community:
- Chadron State College – Active Greek life with multiple fraternities and sororities
- Nearby universities in the Nebraska Panhandle region with Greek organizations
- High school athletic programs where hazing has been documented
Rock County families: These organizations don’t care about your child’s safety. They care about their reputation, their membership numbers, and their bottom line. When something goes wrong, they’ll protect themselves first – not your child.
🔥 Our $10 Million Fight Against Hazing – What It Means for Rock County
We’re currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. This case proves:
- Hazing causes real, life-threatening injuries – Our client was hospitalized with kidney failure
- Universities and national organizations know about the risks – UH had a prior hazing incident in 2017
- They have the power to stop it – and choose not to – Pi Kappa Phi knew about a “hazing crisis” and did nothing
- Multi-million dollar settlements are possible – $10 million is a realistic demand for Rock County victims
- The same fraternities operate in Rock County – If they haze in Houston, they haze in Nebraska
This case is a warning to every fraternity, sorority, and university in Rock County: We will hold you accountable when you harm our children.
🏛️ Rock County Universities: You Own This Problem
Universities in Rock County and across Nebraska have a legal and moral duty to protect students. When they fail:
- They own the fraternity houses where hazing occurs
- They collect fees from Greek organizations
- They have the power to inspect, regulate, and shut down dangerous chapters
- They know hazing happens – and choose to look the other way
Rock County universities: When you collect money from these organizations while knowing the risks, you become part of the problem. And you will be held accountable.
📋 What Rock County Families Should Do If Hazing Occurs
If your child has been hazed in Rock County, take these immediate steps:
- Get medical attention – Even if injuries seem minor, document everything
- Preserve all evidence – Text messages, photos, videos, social media posts
- Do NOT talk to the organization – They will try to control the narrative
- Do NOT sign anything – From the fraternity, sorority, or university
- Report to authorities – Consider filing a police report
- Contact an attorney – Know your rights before making any statements
Rock County parents: The clock is ticking. Nebraska’s statute of limitations means you have limited time to take legal action.

❓ Rock County Hazing FAQs
Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to report it. What should I do?
A: Hazing thrives on secrecy and fear. Many victims don’t report because they’re ashamed, afraid of retaliation, or think they “deserved” it. This is exactly what the organizations want. The only way to stop the cycle is to speak up. We can help protect your child’s identity and legal rights.
Q: The fraternity says my child “consented” to hazing. Is that a defense?
A: No. Nebraska law explicitly states that consent is not a defense to hazing. Even if your child agreed to participate, the organization is still liable for any harm caused.
Q: How much is my Rock County hazing case worth?
A: Every case is unique, but hazing cases typically result in significant compensation, especially when:
- The victim was hospitalized
- The hazing involved extreme physical abuse
- The university knew about prior incidents
- The national organization failed to supervise
- There were attempts to cover up the incident
Our current hazing case is seeking $10 million, and we’ve seen verdicts and settlements ranging from $4 million to $110 million in similar cases nationwide.
Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus?
A: Hazing is illegal in Nebraska regardless of where it occurs. If it happened during a fraternity event, at a member’s home, or anywhere related to the organization, they are still liable.
Q: How long do I have to file a lawsuit in Rock County?
A: Nebraska’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is typically 4 years, but this can vary depending on the circumstances. Do not wait. Evidence disappears, witnesses forget, and your rights expire. Contact us immediately to protect your case.
Q: Will my child get in trouble for reporting hazing?
A: Nebraska has immunity provisions for individuals who report hazing in good faith. We can help navigate these protections and ensure your child is not unfairly penalized for speaking up.
Q: Can we sue the university even if they didn’t directly participate?
A: Yes. Universities have a duty to protect students. If they knew or should have known about hazing and failed to act, they can be held liable for negligent supervision.
