🏛️ Hazing in Sargent County: What Families Need to Know

📍 Hazing Happens at Universities Near Sargent County

While Sargent County itself doesn’t have a major university, students from the area attend schools where hazing is a known problem, including:

• North Dakota State University (NDSU) – Fargo, ND (~150 miles from Sargent County)
• University of North Dakota (UND) – Grand Forks, ND (~200 miles from Sargent County)
• Minnesota State University Moorhead – Moorhead, MN (~150 miles from Sargent County)
• Concordia College – Moorhead, MN (~150 miles from Sargent County)

These schools have active Greek life programs—and the same fraternities involved in our $10 million lawsuit (Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha) operate chapters at these universities.**

🚨 What Counts as Hazing in North Dakota?

North Dakota law (NDCC § 15.1-15-02) defines hazing as:

“Any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a student, or a former student, whether individually or in concert with others, against another student, that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of that student.”

Examples of hazing that have led to lawsuits:
✔ Physical abuse – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise until collapse
✔ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or drugs to the point of vomiting
✔ Psychological torture – Sleep deprivation, humiliation, threats
✔ Waterboarding – Simulated drowning (as seen in our UH case)
✔ Sexual humiliation – Forced nudity, carrying sexual objects

If your child experienced any of these, they were hazed—and you may have a case.

💔 The Devastating Effects of Hazing

Hazing isn’t just “boys being boys” or “tradition.” It causes real, lasting harm, including:

• Physical injuries – Broken bones, burns, rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure
• Psychological trauma – PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts
• Academic disruption – Dropped classes, failed semesters, lost scholarships
• Financial burdens – Medical bills, therapy costs, lost wages

Our client in the UH case spent 4 days in the hospital with kidney failure. Hazing can be life-threatening.

⚖️ Who Can Be Held Liable for Hazing in Sargent County?

When hazing happens, multiple parties can be held legally responsible, including:

In our UH case, we’re suing:

• Pi Kappa Phi National
• The local chapter
• The University of Houston
• Individual members
• A former member and their spouse

We’ll pursue every liable party in your Sargent County case too.

💰 How Much Is a Sargent County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing lawsuits can result in multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts, including:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages (if the victim missed work or lost earning potential)
• Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
• Punitive damages (to punish the defendants for egregious conduct)

Recent Hazing Case Results (Nationwide):

Our $10 million demand in the UH case is in line with these precedents—and Sargent County families deserve the same justice.

What Affects Your Case Value?

✅ Severity of injuries – Hospitalization, surgery, permanent damage
✅ Egregiousness of conduct – Waterboarding, forced consumption, physical abuse
✅ Pattern of hazing – If the chapter had prior incidents
✅ University knowledge – If the school knew and failed to act
✅ Defendant’s ability to pay – National fraternities have deep pockets

📅 North Dakota’s Statute of Limitations – Act Fast!

North Dakota law gives you only 2 years from the date of the hazing incident to file a lawsuit.

If you wait too long, you lose your right to sue—forever.

🛡️ What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Sargent County

✅ Step 1: Get Medical Attention

Even if injuries seem minor, get checked by a doctor. Some conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms immediately.

✅ Step 2: Preserve Evidence

• Take photos/videos of injuries, hazing locations, and any objects used
• Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, emails)
• Write down everything that happened (dates, times, witnesses)
• Get witness contact info (other pledges, bystanders)

❌ Step 3: Don’t Do These Things

• Don’t talk to the fraternity or university alone – They’ll try to control the narrative
• Don’t post on social media – Anything you say can be used against you
• Don’t sign anything – You might unknowingly waive your rights
• Don’t delete messages – Destroying evidence can hurt your case

✅ Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

The sooner you call us, the sooner we can:
✔ Preserve evidence before it disappears
✔ Protect your rights from institutional pressure
✔ Build your case for maximum compensation

📜 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for Sargent County Families

Yes. Even if there are no physical injuries, hazing can cause severe psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression). You can sue for emotional distress and pain and suffering.

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis—you pay nothing unless we win your case.

In North Dakota, you have 2 years from the date of the hazing incident. After that, you lose your right to sue. Contact us immediately to protect your rights.
