🔥 The Hazing Crisis in Tunica County, Mississippi — What Families Need to Know

Hazing Isn’t “Tradition” — It’s Abuse

Fraternities and sororities near Tunica County use the word “tradition” to justify torture. They call it “brotherhood” or “sisterhood.” They say it’s “how we’ve always done things.”

This is a lie.

Hazing is:

• Assault — when they hit, paddle, or waterboard your child
• Battery — when they force physical contact
• Torture — when they simulate drowning or force exercise until collapse
• Reckless endangerment — when they ignore obvious medical distress
• Sometimes manslaughter — when it kills

It is not tradition. It is not bonding. It is not character-building. It is abuse.

This Happens Near Tunica County — Right Now

The same fraternities that waterboarded our client in Houston have chapters at universities near Tunica County.

The same “traditions” that hospitalized our client exist at local institutions.

The same negligence that allowed this to happen in Houston exists in Tunica County.

If your child is pledging a fraternity or sorority near Tunica County, they face the same risks.

💔 What Happened to Our Client — And What Could Happen to Your Child in Tunica County

The UH Pi Kappa Phi Case — A Warning for Tunica County Families

Victim: Leonel Bermudez (not a UH student at the time — he was a “ghost rush” expected to transfer)

What They Did to Him:

• Waterboarded with a garden hose — simulated drowning, a form of torture
• Forced to do 500+ squats, 100+ pushups, bear crawls, 100-yard crawls — until his muscles broke down
• Struck with wooden paddles — physical assault with weapons
• Forced to eat milk, hot dogs, peppercorns until vomiting — then forced to keep running
• Forced to lie in vomit-soaked grass — humiliation and health risk
• Forced to drive fraternity members at all hours — sleep deprivation
• Threatened with expulsion if he stopped — coercion and intimidation

What Happened Next:

• He collapsed at home, unable to stand
• He crawled up the stairs to bed
• The next day, he couldn’t move
• His mother rushed him to the hospital
• Diagnosis: severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure — his muscles were breaking down and poisoning his kidneys
• Hospitalized for 3 nights and 4 days

The Aftermath:

• Pi Kappa Phi immediately closed the chapter — they knew what they did was wrong
• The University of Houston admitted the conduct was “deeply disturbing” — they knew they failed
• We filed a $10 million lawsuit — to hold them accountable

Tunica County Families: This is not an isolated incident. This is what hazing looks like. This could be your child.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Tunica County?

We Sue Everyone Responsible — Not Just the Students

⚖️ Mississippi Law Protects Hazing Victims — We Know How to Use It

Mississippi Hazing Law — What Tunica County Families Need to Know

Mississippi has strong laws against hazing. Consent is not a defense. Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter.

Mississippi Code § 97-3-105 — Hazing Defined:

“Hazing” means any intentional, knowing, or reckless act committed by a student, or a former student, of an educational institution, whether individually or in concert with others, against another student, and in which both of the following apply:

(a) The act was committed in connection with an initiation into, an affiliation with, or the maintenance of membership in any organization that is affiliated with the educational institution.

(b) The act contributes to a substantial risk of potential physical injury, mental harm, or degradation, or causes physical injury, mental harm, or personal degradation.”

This includes:

• Physical abuse (paddling, beatings, forced exercise)
• Forced consumption (alcohol, food, non-food substances)
• Sleep deprivation
• Psychological abuse
• Sexual humiliation
• Any activity that creates a risk of harm

Penalties:

• Misdemeanor — up to 6 months in jail and/or $1,000 fine
• Felony — if hazing causes serious injury or death (up to 5 years in prison)

Civil Liability:

• Victims can sue for medical expenses, pain and suffering, punitive damages
• Organizations can be held liable for negligent supervision

Tunica County Families: Mississippi law is on your side. We know how to use it.

🛡️ What to Do If Your Child Is Hazed in Tunica County

Step-by-Step Action Plan for Tunica County Families

If your child was hazed — or if you suspect they were — follow these steps immediately:

1. 🚑 Seek Medical Attention

   • Go to the ER or urgent care even if injuries seem minor
   • Some injuries (like rhabdomyolysis) don’t show symptoms right away
   • Medical records are critical evidence

2. 📸 Preserve Evidence

   • Take photos of all injuries (bruises, cuts, burns)
   • Save all communications (texts, GroupMe, Snapchat, Instagram DMs)
   • Document everything — write down dates, times, locations, what happened
   • Get witness names and contact information

3. 🚫 Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity/Sorority

   • They will try to control the narrative
   • They may destroy evidence
   • They may intimidate witnesses
   • Let your attorney handle all communication

4. 🚫 Do NOT Post on Social Media

   • Anything you post can be used against you
   • Don’t post about being “fine” or “okay”
   • Don’t post party photos
   • Stay quiet until your case is resolved

5. 📞 Contact an Attorney Immediately

   • Call Attorney 911 now: 1-888-ATTY-911
   • The sooner we get involved, the stronger your case
   • We can preserve evidence before it disappears
   • We can prevent the organization from intimidating witnesses

6. 📝 Report to Authorities (Optional but Recommended)

   • File a police report — hazing is a crime in Mississippi
   • Report to the university — they have a duty to investigate
   • Report to Title IX — if sexual assault or gender-based hazing occurred

Tunica County Families: Time is critical. Evidence disappears. Witnesses forget. Statutes of limitations expire. Call us now.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions for Tunica County Families

Q: My child was hazed but doesn’t want to report it. Should we still call a lawyer?

A: Yes — and here’s why:

• Evidence disappears fast — texts get deleted, witnesses forget
• The statute of limitations starts running — in Mississippi, you typically have 3 years to file a civil lawsuit, but evidence is best preserved immediately
• Other victims may exist — your case could help protect future students
• The organization will try to silence your child — we can protect them
• Your child may not realize how serious the injuries are — some medical conditions (like rhabdomyolysis) have delayed symptoms

We can evaluate the case confidentially. Your child doesn’t have to decide immediately about filing a lawsuit — but preserving evidence now protects their rights later.

Q: The fraternity/sorority says my child “consented” to the hazing. Is that a defense?

A: No. Consent is NOT a defense to hazing in Mississippi.

Mississippi law is clear: Even if your child “agreed” to participate, the law says that doesn’t matter.

Why consent doesn’t work:

• Coercion — threats of social exclusion, expulsion from Greek life
• Peer pressure — group dynamics make it hard to say no
• Misinformation — victims often don’t know what they’re consenting to
• Duress — fear of retaliation or humiliation

Mississippi Code § 97-3-105 doesn’t allow consent as a defense. The legislature specifically decided that hazing is too dangerous to allow “consent” to justify it.

We will fight any attempt by the defendants to use the “consent” defense.

Q: My child is an international student. Can we still sue?

A: Yes. Your child’s immigration status does NOT affect their right to compensation.

We represent international students who have been hazed. We understand the additional challenges you face:

• Fear of deportation
• Language barriers
• Cultural differences in understanding hazing
• Visa status concerns

Your immigration status is protected. Pursuing a civil lawsuit does NOT negatively impact most student visas (F-1, J-1, etc.).

We have bilingual staff (Spanish-speaking) and can provide translation services for other languages.

International students are often targeted because hazing organizations think they won’t report. We help them fight back.

Q: The university says they’re “investigating.” Should we wait?

A: No. The university is NOT on your side.

Universities investigate hazing for two reasons:

1. To protect their own liability — they want to control the narrative
2. To minimize publicity — they want this to go away quietly

They will not advocate for your child. They will not pursue maximum compensation. They will not hold the fraternity fully accountable.

What you should do:

• Let the university investigate — it creates a record
• Do NOT give statements without your attorney present
• Contact Attorney 911 immediately — we can guide you through the process

We’ve seen universities sweep hazing under the rug. We won’t let that happen to your child.

Q: My child was hazed at a small college near Tunica County. Is it worth suing?

A: Yes. Every hazing case deserves justice — regardless of the school’s size.

We represent hazing victims from:

• Large public universities
• Small private colleges
• Community colleges
• Trade schools
• Military academies

The size of the school doesn’t matter. What matters is:

• Was your child hazed?
• Did the hazing cause injury?
• Did the organization or university fail to prevent it?

If the answer is yes, then your case has value. We will fight for you.

Q: How much does it cost to hire a hazing lawyer for my Tunica County case?

A: $0 upfront. We work on contingency.

This means:

• No hourly fees
• No retainer
• No upfront costs
• No financial risk

We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery.

For Tunica County families, this means:

• You can afford top-tier legal representation
• You don’t have to worry about legal bills while your child recovers
• We are motivated to maximize your recovery — because our payment depends on it

We believe justice should be accessible to every family — not just the wealthy.

Q: What if the hazing happened off-campus? Can we still sue?

A: Yes. Hazing is illegal whether it happens on-campus or off-campus.

Many hazing incidents occur at:

• Fraternity/sorority houses (even if not university-owned)
• Private homes (like in our UH case — a former member’s house)
• Hotels or rented spaces
• Outdoor locations
• Bars or restaurants

The location doesn’t matter. What matters is:

• Was your child hazed?
• Was the hazing connected to the organization?
• Did it occur during pledge activities?

We can pursue:

• The national organization
• The local chapter
• The property owner (if hazing occurred at a private home)
• Individual members

Off-campus hazing is still hazing — and it’s still illegal.

Q: My child is afraid of retaliation. How can you protect them?

A: We take retaliation concerns very seriously. Here’s how we protect your child:

1. Confidentiality — We keep your child’s identity protected as much as possible
2. Legal protection — Retaliation is illegal; we can take legal action if it occurs
3. Evidence preservation — We document everything so the case stands on its own
4. Witness protection — We work with other victims to build a strong case
5. Media strategy — We control the narrative to minimize backlash

In our UH case, our client was “fearful of doing an interview due to retribution.” We understand this fear. We will protect your child.
