Columbia, Missouri Fraternity Hazing: What the Santulli Case Exposes — and What Your Family Needs to Know If you are reading this at 2 a.m. in Columbia, Missouri — from a hospital chair at University of Missouri Hospital, or from a kitchen table where the phone call just came — you already know what hazing does. What you may not know is how many entities knew it was coming, how many had the power to stop it, and how the law in this state lets you hold every one of them responsible. We are going to tell you everything we know about fraternity hazing cases in Missouri, because what happened here is not an isolated tragedy. It is a documented pattern, and the evidence of that pattern is already on a clock. What happened at Phi Gamma Delta on the night of October 2021 was not a surprise to the people who ran that fraternity. Two months earlier, in August 2021, the international fraternity’s own investigation had already identified what it called a “high tolerance for hazing” and a “bystander effect” inside the chapter — members who believed hazing was wrong but failed to act. The fraternity put its findings…

Columbia, Missouri Fraternity Hazing: When Brotherhood Becomes a Life Sentence If you are reading this page, you are likely a parent. You may be sitting in a hospital room in Columbia, or you may be at a kitchen table hours from the nearest city, trying to understand how a child you sent to the University of Missouri came back unable to see, unable to speak, and unable to walk. You already know the outline: a fraternity night, a bottle of vodka, a funnel, and a blood alcohol concentration of .468% — nearly six times the legal limit. What you may not know is that Missouri law gives you a path to hold the fraternity accountable, that there is insurance money designed to fund exactly this kind of lifetime catastrophe, and that the evidence proving what happened is disappearing right now, on a clock measured in days. We are a trial firm that takes Missouri hazing cases, working with local counsel where required, and the first thing we want you to understand is this: what happened to your child was not an accident, and it was not a rite of passage. It was a crime under Missouri law, and the people…

What Happened at Phi Gamma Delta Can Happen at Any Fraternity — Here Is What the Law Actually Does About It If you are reading this at 2 a.m., you already know the worst part. Your child went away to college in Columbia, joined a fraternity, and came back broken — or did not come back at all. The phone call from the hospital, the phrase “brain injury,” the doctor who could not promise you your child will ever speak again, walk again, see again. You are sitting in a room that feels like it has been turned inside out, and you are trying to understand how a “pledge father reveal” party — something the fraternity treated as a tradition — ended with your freshman on a ventilator. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes Missouri hazing cases, working with local counsel where required, and the first thing we want you to know is this: what happened to your family was not an accident. It was a sequence of choices — by the young men who poured the alcohol, by the chapter officers who authorized the event, by the national fraternity that wrote the anti-hazing policy and…

The Death That Proved the Policy Was Paper: Fraternity Hazing Wrongful Death in Louisiana If you are reading this page, someone you love may not be coming home from college. Maybe it happened days ago. Maybe you are still waiting for answers from a university that promised safety and delivered a phone call instead. You are sitting at a kitchen table at an hour when no one should be awake, searching for something — anything — that explains how a teenager walking onto a campus in August ends up on a coroner’s table by September.

We are a trial firm that takes hazing wrongful death cases in Louisiana and across the country, working with local counsel where required.

You are learning that the people who killed him tried to hide what they did before they tried to save him. And right now, while you are still burying your child, the national fraternity’s lawyers are already drawing a line between “a few rogue members” and the organization whose name is on the letters on the sweatshirt your son was so proud to wear.

When Hazing Kills a Pledge at Northern Arizona University — What Your Family Needs to Know Now You are reading this because someone’s son is dead. Two young men have been arrested. The word “hazing” is in the headline, and you are the family — or you are close to the family — and the questions are already piling up faster than anyone can answer them.

When a Pledge Does Not Come Home: Hazing, Wrongful Death, and the Law That Followed If you are reading this page, someone you love may not have come home from a fraternity event. Or you are the parent of a student at Penn State, or any university in Pennsylvania, and you are learning what the law actually says about what happened — and what your family can do about it. You are reading at an hour when no one should have to be awake. We know that. We wrote this page for exactly that hour. A young man fell down the stairs of a fraternity house at 220 N. Burrowes Road in State College, Centre County, Pennsylvania, during an alcohol-fueled pledge ritual in February 2017. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, a fractured skull, and a lacerated liver. For nearly twelve hours, the people around him — his “brothers,” the members of the chapter that had invited him to pledge — did not call 911. He died two days later. His name was Timothy Piazza, and the law that followed his death changed Pennsylvania. But the law that existed before his death is the law that governs the civil claims…

Nova Scotia Hockey Hazing Sexual Assault: Your Child’s Legal Rights After a Team “Initiation” Became a Crime You are sitting at your kitchen table at 2 a.m. Your child is in the next room, or maybe they are asleep, or maybe they are not sleeping at all and have not been for days. The RCMP has made arrests. You heard the words “hazing ritual” and “sexual assault” in the same sentence and your stomach dropped through the floor. You are a hockey parent in Nova Scotia. You trusted the team, the association, the coaches, the system. That trust is shattered and you do not know where to turn or what happens next. We are going to tell you — clearly, honestly, and without softening a single thing — what your child’s legal rights are, who can be held accountable, and what you need to do in the next 72 hours before the evidence disappears. The first thing you need to hear is this: what happened to your child was not a team tradition gone too far. It was not “boys being boys.” It was not an initiation that got out of hand. Non-consensual sexual contact during a hazing ritual is…

Canyon Fraternity Burglary: Your Civil Rights After a Texas Property Crime You arrived at the fraternity building on Hix Drive and found a door that someone had forced open. The lock was damaged. Things were missing — maybe a flag, maybe more. Maybe you are the one who called Randall County deputies at midnight. Maybe you are a parent whose son was one of the eight arrested and you are trying to understand what happens next on both sides of a criminal case. Either way, you are standing at the intersection of a criminal prosecution and a civil claim, and what you do in the next few days will decide whether the evidence survives and whether the people responsible are held accountable in dollars, not just in charges.

Canyon, Randall County, Texas Fraternity Burglary: Your Civil Rights After a Property Crime The police came. They arrested eight people. The criminal case is in motion. But nobody has told you the most important thing: Texas has a civil statute built specifically for property owners in your position, and it does something almost no other Texas law does — it makes the people who broke into your building pay your lawyer, too. You are standing in a building that was already closing. The Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at West Texas A&M University was winding down, and eight individuals decided that made the property fair game. They forced a door on the north side, walked through your rooms with their faces covered, and one of them stuffed a fraternity flag down his pants on the way out. The Randall County Sheriff’s Office and WTAMU Campus Police caught them walking out. The owner pointed at the “No Trespassing” signs on the doors that had been ignored. The video cameras inside had already recorded everything. One person admitted to deputies that he intended to take the flag. During booking at the Randall County Jail, the flag was found hidden in his clothing. That…
