Hazing Injury Lawyers Serving Seminole County, Oklahoma
Seminole County Families: You Are Not Alone
If your child was hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization in or near Seminole County, Oklahoma, you have legal rights. The same national fraternities involved in the $10 million University of Houston hazing lawsuit—where a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and hospitalized with kidney failure—operate at institutions across Oklahoma.
Seminole County students face the same risks. The same abuse happens here. And we will fight for Seminole County families with the same fury.
🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Seminole County
This Isn’t “Tradition.” This Is Abuse.
Hazing isn’t harmless fun. It’s a culture of abuse disguised as initiation. In Seminole County and across Oklahoma, students are subjected to:
✅ Physical torture – Beatings, paddling, forced exercise to exhaustion
✅ Forced consumption – Alcohol, food, or non-food substances until vomiting
✅ Waterboarding & simulated drowning – A war crime when done to prisoners, but fraternities do it to students
✅ Sleep deprivation – Forced to stay up all night, then drive members in exhaustion
✅ Psychological humiliation – Stripped, hog-tied, forced to carry sexual objects
✅ Life-threatening injuries – Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, alcohol poisoning, traumatic brain injury
This isn’t “brotherhood.” It’s assault. And it’s happening in Seminole County.

⚖️ Oklahoma Hazing Laws: What Seminole County Families Need to Know
Hazing Is a Crime in Oklahoma

❌ Cause serious bodily injury or death
Penalties in Oklahoma:
