When a Fraternity and a University Know the Danger and Stay Silent — Your Rights After a WSU Hazing Death You are reading this at the hour when the grief is sharpest. Maybe it has been days since the phone call, or maybe it has been months and the shock has hardened into a different kind of pain — the kind that comes from learning that the people who should have protected your child knew the danger was there, had investigated it, had even removed half the chapter for it, and still handed your son a bid and a bottle and sent him into a house they were simultaneously investigating for rape. We know that pain because we sit with families in it. Ralph Manginello has spent 27-plus years in courtrooms, including federal court, and right now our firm is litigating an active fraternity hazing wrongful death case — the Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi / University of Houston lawsuit — that raises the same structural questions this one does. The law that governs a hazing death at Washington State University is not a mystery. The fight is about whether anyone will force the truth into the open before the…

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.

When a Fraternity Hazing Ritual Kills Your Child — What the Law Lets Your Family Do About It You are reading this at the worst hour of your life. Your son is dead. He went to join a brotherhood and the brotherhood killed him — with forced drinking, with a ritual designed to break him down, with a room full of young men who watched him stop being responsive and decided to let him “sleep it off” instead of calling for help. Now you are hearing words like “pledge process” and “chapter event” and “alcohol-related incident” from people who are trying to make what happened sound like an accident. It was not an accident. Hazing deaths are never accidents — they are the foreseeable result of a deliberate process, and the law in nearly every state in this country recognizes that. We are Attorney911, and our managing partner Ralph Manginello is currently leading the active $10 million Bermudez v. Pi Kappa Phi / University of Houston hazing lawsuit in Harris County, Texas. We know what these cases look like from the inside. We know how fraternities circle the wagons, how group chats get deleted overnight, how the national organization tries…

The Indictment Changed Everything: Your Family’s Civil Case After an NAU Fraternity Hazing Death You are reading this because someone you raised — someone you sent to Flagstaff to get an education — did not come home. A grand jury in Coconino County has now indicted a member of a Northern Arizona University fraternity, and that single word, indicted, tells you something the university and the fraternity’s national office may not say out loud: what happened to your child was not an accident, and it was not a rogue incident. A prosecutor looked at the evidence and concluded that a crime occurred. We are the trial team at Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC — and right now, in this moment, we want you to know three things before anything else. First: what happened to your child was not their fault, no matter what the fraternity’s lawyers will eventually argue about “choice” and “consent.” A pledge standing in a room full of older men who control whether he gets accepted is not making a free decision about how much alcohol to consume. The law in Arizona knows this, and we will explain exactly how. Second: the criminal indictment is…

When a Fraternity Investigation Becomes Your Family’s Emergency You are reading this page because something happened to someone you love inside a fraternity — at the University of Kansas, inside Alpha Tau Omega, or somewhere just like it. Maybe your son came home with bruises he could not explain. Maybe he was rushed to the hospital with alcohol poisoning and a blood alcohol level that should have killed him. Maybe he is afraid to tell you what they made him do. Maybe the worst has already happened and you are reading this from a hospital waiting room or a funeral home. We are Attorney911, and we build hazing cases. Ralph Manginello, our managing partner, is lead counsel in an active $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. That case is filed in Harris County, Texas, and it is live right now. We know what hazing does to a young person. We know how fraternities defend themselves.

Hazing-National Fraternity Rape & Hazing Criminal Charges: Who Pays When a Fraternity House Becomes a Crime Scene Your daughter called you from a dorm room or a hospital or a friend’s car at a hour when college students should be asleep, and what she told you turned the ground under your feet to water. A fraternity house — a place that was supposed to be part of the college experience, not a danger to it — became a crime scene. A 19-year-old has been arrested. The criminal case is moving.

Your Son Is Gone — and the Fraternity That Killed Him Had Already Been Shut Down Once You are reading this in the hours or days after the worst moment of your life. Your son went away to college — Kansas State, a freshman, just starting — and he did not come home. He died from a fall at a fraternity house. And now you have learned something that makes the grief turn to fury: the same national fraternity organization had already been shut down at the University of Kansas in 2022. The national organization knew its chapters were dangerous. It had already closed one in the same state. And it let the chapter at K-State keep operating — keep recruiting freshmen like your son — until the foreseeable happened. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We are a trial firm that takes hazing wrongful death cases in Kansas and nationwide, working with local counsel where required.

Hazing-National Fraternity Sexual Assault & Hazing Criminal Charges — Louisiana’s 1-Year Clock, PTSD Damages, and the Fraternity Shell Game If you are reading this at 2 a.m. — or 4 a.m., or the next afternoon, or a week later when the shock has started to settle into something harder and colder — we want you to know one thing before anything else: what happened to you was not your fault, and what happens next is not something you have to face alone. We are Attorney911. We are a trial firm that takes hazing and sexual assault cases, and we are writing this page to one person: the survivor, or the parent, who just found out that a fraternity member was arrested for raping a woman inside a fraternity house, and is trying to understand what rights exist, what evidence matters, and how fast the clock is already running. The answer to all three is: more than you think, more than you realize, and faster than anyone has told you.
