Hazing Victims in Saint Clair County Deserve Justice – We Can Help

If your child was hazed at a college, university, or Greek organization near Saint Clair County, Michigan – you are not alone.

At Attorney 911, we are currently fighting a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Houston after a young man was hospitalized with kidney failure from extreme hazing. The same fraternities operate near Saint Clair County. The same universities fail to protect students. And the same culture of abuse exists in Michigan.

We can help Saint Clair County families fight back.

🚨 What Happened in Houston Could Happen in Saint Clair County

In November 2025, Leonel Bermudez, a prospective member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity at the University of Houston, was subjected to weeks of brutal hazing that left him hospitalized with severe rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure. He was:

✔ Waterboarded with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
✔ Forced to do 500 squats and 100 pushups until he collapsed
✔ Struck with wooden paddles
✔ Forced to eat until vomiting – then made to keep exercising
✔ Denied sleep and threatened with expulsion if he refused

He spent 4 days in the hospital fighting for his life.

This wasn’t the first time. In 2017, Andrew Coffey died at a Pi Kappa Phi event after being forced to drink an entire bottle of bourbon. The fraternity had 8 years to fix their culture – but they didn’t. And now, Leonel Bermudez is paying the price.

The same thing is happening near Saint Clair County.

🏛️ The Same Fraternities Operate in Michigan

Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and other national fraternities have chapters at universities near Saint Clair County, including:

📍 University of Michigan (Ann Arbor)
📍 Michigan State University (East Lansing)
📍 Wayne State University (Detroit)
📍 Oakland University (Rochester)
📍 Eastern Michigan University (Ypsilanti)
📍 Central Michigan University (Mount Pleasant)
📍 Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo)

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority in Michigan, they face the same risks.

💔 Universities Near Saint Clair County Are Failing Students

The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where Leonel Bermudez was hazed. They had the power to stop it – but they didn’t.

Michigan universities have the same responsibility.

If your child was hazed at a Saint Clair County-area school, the university may be legally liable for failing to protect them.

💰 We Are Fighting for $10 Million – And We Can Fight for You

We are currently pursuing $10 million in damages for Leonel Bermudez. This isn’t just about compensation – it’s about sending a message:

✅ Hazing is not tradition – it’s torture.
✅ Universities can’t ignore abuse on their campuses.
✅ Fraternities will be held accountable for what they do to students.

Saint Clair County families deserve the same justice.

📞 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Saint Clair County

If your child was hazed at a college, university, or Greek organization near Saint Clair County, time is critical. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. And the clock is ticking on your legal rights.

✅ Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

• Even if injuries seem minor, get them checked by a doctor.
• Rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and head injuries can be life-threatening.
• Medical records are critical evidence in hazing cases.

✅ Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

• Take photos of injuries (bruises, cuts, burns, etc.).
• Save all text messages, GroupMe chats, and social media posts about hazing.
• Write down everything your child remembers (who was involved, what happened, where it happened).
• Get names and contact information of witnesses.

✅ Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity or University Without a Lawyer

• They will try to control the narrative.
• They will downplay what happened.
• They will pressure your child to stay quiet.
• Anything you say can be used against you.
