Hazing Lawyer in Stone County, AR | Attorney 911

Justice for Hazing Victims in Mountain View, Mountain View, AR and Across Stone County

If your child has been a victim of fraternity hazing, sorority hazing, or any form of abusive initiation rituals at colleges near Stone County, Arkansas, you are not alone—and you have legal rights. Attorney 911, based in Houston, Texas, is currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston, and we are ready to bring that same aggressive representation to Stone County families.

We understand that hazing doesn’t just happen in big cities like Houston or Little Rock—it happens in college towns across Arkansas, including near Stone County. Whether your child attends Arkansas State University-Mountain Home, University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville, or other institutions in the region, the same national fraternities and sororities operate here, and they bring the same dangerous “traditions” with them.

If your child has been hazed, waterboarded, forced into extreme physical exertion, or suffered psychological abuse in Stone County or anywhere in Arkansas—we can help.

🚨 The Hazing Crisis in Stone County: What Parents Need to Know

Hazing is not just “boys being boys” or “harmless tradition.” It is abuse, assault, and sometimes torture—and it can lead to serious injury, hospitalization, or even death.

🔴 What Hazing Looks Like in Stone County

Our current case in Houston reveals the brutal reality of hazing:

  • Waterboarding with a garden hose (simulated drowning)
  • Forced to do 500+ squats and 100+ pushups until muscles break down (rhabdomyolysis)
  • Struck with wooden paddles
  • Forced to eat until vomiting, then made to lie in vomit-soaked grass
  • Sleep deprivation and psychological torture
  • Hog-tying pledges with objects in their mouths

This isn’t just happening in Texas—it’s happening in Arkansas too. The same fraternities with chapters near Stone County have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries nationwide.

📍 Fraternities & Sororities Near Stone County with Hazing Histories

While Stone County itself is a rural area, students from Mountain View and surrounding communities often attend colleges where hazing is a known problem. Some of the national Greek organizations with active chapters near Stone County include:

Fraternity/Sorority Notable Hazing Cases Universities Near Stone County with Chapters
Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) $10.1M settlement (Stone Foltz, 2021) Arkansas State University, University of Arkansas
Pi Kappa Phi $10M lawsuit pending (Leonel Bermudez, 2025) University of Arkansas, Arkansas Tech
Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) $1M+ settlement (Texas A&M, 2021) University of Arkansas, Arkansas State
Phi Delta Theta $6.1M verdict (Max Gruver, 2017) University of Arkansas, Henderson State
Beta Theta Pi $110M+ settlement (Tim Piazza, 2017) University of Arkansas, Arkansas State
Kappa Sigma Multiple hazing deaths University of Arkansas, Arkansas Tech
Sigma Chi Lawsuit filed (UT Austin, 2025) University of Arkansas, Arkansas State

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Stone County, they are at risk. The same organizations that have killed and hospitalized students nationwide have active chapters in Arkansas—and they have not changed their culture.

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Stone County Hazing Victim

1. You Can Sue for Hazing in Arkansas

Arkansas has anti-hazing laws, and victims can pursue civil lawsuits for:
Medical expenses (hospitalization, therapy, future treatment)
Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
Lost wages (if hazing affected academics or work)
Punitive damages (to punish the organization for reckless conduct)

In Texas, we’re currently seeking $10 million for a hazing victim. Stone County families deserve the same aggressive representation.

2. Consent Is NOT a Defense

Some fraternities argue, “He agreed to participate.” But Arkansas law says consent does not matter. If your child was coerced, threatened, or pressured into hazing, they still have a case.

3. Who Can Be Sued?

We pursue every responsible party, including:

  • The local fraternity/sorority chapter (for organizing hazing)
  • The national organization (for failing to prevent hazing)
  • The university (for failing to protect students)
  • Individual members (for participating in or enabling abuse)
  • Housing corporations (if hazing occurred on their property)

In our current case, we’re suing Pi Kappa Phi National, the UH chapter, the university, and 13 individuals—including a former member and his spouse.

💔 What to Do If Your Child Was Hazed in Stone County

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

  • Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) can lead to kidney failure (like our client).
  • Alcohol poisoning can be fatal.
  • Psychological trauma (PTSD, anxiety, depression) requires professional help.

Even if your child says they’re “fine,” get them checked. Symptoms of serious conditions like rhabdomyolysis may not appear immediately.

Step 2: Preserve All Evidence

Medical records (hospital bills, doctor’s notes)
Text messages & social media (GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs)
Photos & videos (of injuries, hazing activities, fraternity houses)
Witness contact info (other pledges, bystanders)
Fraternity documents (pledge manuals, schedules, rules)

Do NOT delete anything. Even old posts can be used as evidence.

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

  • They will try to control the narrative and minimize your claim.
  • They may ask you to sign documents that waive your rights.
  • They may destroy evidence if they think they’re being investigated.

We handle all communications with the fraternity, university, and insurance companies—so you don’t have to.

Step 4: Contact Attorney 911 Immediately

⏳ Time is critical.

  • Arkansas has a 3-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims.
  • Evidence disappears quickly (texts deleted, witnesses forget).
  • The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case will be.
