🚨 Hazing Victims in Rowan County, Kentucky: You Are Not Alone
A Message to Rowan County Families from Attorney 911 — The Hazing Litigation Experts
Rowan County, Kentucky is home to a strong, tight-knit community where families work hard, support each other, and value education. Parents in Rowan County send their children to college with high hopes – hoping they’ll make lifelong friends, gain valuable experiences, and return home with bright futures. But too often, those dreams are shattered by the brutal reality of hazing.
At Attorney 911, we’re currently fighting a landmark $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston. We’ve seen firsthand what happens when fraternities and universities fail to protect students. The same national fraternities that waterboarded our client operate right here in Kentucky. The same negligence that hospitalized a student in Texas exists at universities near Rowan County. And we’re ready to fight for Rowan County families with the same determination we’re bringing to our current case.
🏫 Hazing Happens in Kentucky Too
Rowan County families should know: hazing isn’t confined to big universities in other states. It happens right here in Kentucky. National fraternities like Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and others have active chapters at universities across the Commonwealth. These organizations operate under the same national leadership that allowed a student to be hospitalized in Texas. If it can happen there, it can – and does – happen here.
Morehead State University, just a short drive from Rowan County, has a strong Greek life presence. The same fraternities involved in national hazing scandals maintain chapters at Kentucky universities. Your child could be at risk.
💔 What Hazing Really Looks Like
Our client at the University of Houston was subjected to:
- Waterboarding with a garden hose – simulated drowning, a form of torture
- 500 squats and 100 pushups – forced until he couldn’t stand without help
- Wooden paddles – physical beatings as “tradition”
- Forced eating until vomiting – then forced to continue exercising
- Sleep deprivation – driven around at all hours, leaving him exhausted
- Psychological torture – carrying sexual objects, threats of expulsion
This didn’t happen in some distant state. This happened in 2025. This could happen to your child at a Kentucky university.
⚖️ Kentucky Law Protects Hazing Victims
Kentucky has strong laws against hazing. Under KRS 164.375, hazing is defined as any activity that recklessly or intentionally endangers the mental or physical health of a student. This includes:
- Physical brutality
- Forced consumption of food, alcohol, or drugs
- Sleep deprivation
- Psychological abuse
- Extreme physical activities
Consent is not a defense – even if your child agreed to participate, the law still protects them.
Kentucky universities have a legal duty to protect students from hazing. When they fail, they can be held accountable. The same applies to national fraternities that know about hazing risks but fail to prevent them.
💰 Justice for Rowan County Families
We’ve seen what juries award in hazing cases:
- $10.1 million – Stone Foltz case (Ohio)
- $6.1 million – Maxwell Gruver case (Louisiana)
- $110 million+ – Timothy Piazza case (Pennsylvania)
These same results are possible for Kentucky victims. Hazing cases win when victims come forward. The compensation can cover:
- Medical bills from hazing injuries
- Therapy for PTSD and trauma
- Lost wages and educational opportunities
- Pain and suffering
- Punitive damages to punish the organization

🏛️ A Message to Kentucky Universities
To university administrators across Kentucky: The time for empty statements is over.
- You know hazing happens on your campus
- You have the power to stop it
- When you fail, you share liability
University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded. They collected rent while students were tortured. They had the power to inspect and regulate. They chose not to act. Now they face a $10 million lawsuit.
Kentucky universities must do better. Protect your students or face the consequences.
