Within a month he was in a hospital with facial hives, rashes, and a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder. He had been gagged with his own socks, pelted with eggs and beer cans, forced to drink vodka until he choked, held upside down by his ankles and made to drink a week-old keg until he blacked out — and then the people who did it to him recorded his suffering and shared it with other students as entertainment.

The Charleston Sigma Chi Hazing Lawsuit: Breaking the Culture of Silence When you send your child to a university like the College of Charleston, you expect mentorship, growth, and a path to a future. You do not expect a systematic pattern of physical abuse, forced intoxication, and a “culture of silence” designed to hide criminal battery. The $10 million lawsuit recently filed in Charleston County highlights a level of violence that crosses the line from “tradition” into clear-cut personal injury and intentional infliction of emotional distress. We handle cases where institutions fail their most basic duty: to keep the people in their care safe.
