Attorney 911: Twin Falls County Hazing Lawyers – Holding Fraternities, Sororities & Universities Accountable

🚨 Hazing in Twin Falls County: A Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight

Twin Falls County families send their children to college expecting them to be safe. They trust universities to protect their students. They believe Greek organizations exist to build leadership, not inflict torture.

That trust is being betrayed.

Right now, in Twin Falls County and across Idaho, fraternities and sororities are subjecting students to dangerous, humiliating, and sometimes deadly hazing rituals—all under the guise of “tradition.” These aren’t harmless pranks. They’re systematic abuse, and they’re happening at colleges and universities near Twin Falls County.

If your child has been hazed, you are not powerless. You have legal rights. And Attorney 911 is here to fight for you.

🔴 What Hazing Really Looks Like in Twin Falls County

Hazing isn’t just about drinking too much or doing push-ups. It’s psychological torture, physical abuse, and life-threatening danger—often disguised as “initiation.” In Twin Falls County and surrounding areas, hazing can include:

✅ Forced alcohol consumption – Binge drinking until vomiting, passing out, or worse (alcohol poisoning is a leading cause of hazing deaths)
✅ Extreme physical punishment – Hundreds of push-ups, bear crawls, or “suicides” (sprinting drills) until muscles break down (rhabdomyolysis)
✅ Waterboarding & simulated drowning – Using hoses or other methods to induce fear of suffocation (this is torture, not tradition)
✅ Sleep deprivation – Forced to stay up all night, then expected to function normally the next day
✅ Forced eating until vomiting – Consuming large amounts of food, milk, or peppercorns until the body rejects it
✅ Physical assaults – Being struck with paddles, belts, or other objects
✅ Psychological humiliation – Forced to wear embarrassing clothing, carry sexual objects, or endure degrading rituals
✅ Isolation & intimidation – Threats of expulsion, social ostracism, or retaliation if the victim speaks out

This isn’t “brotherhood” or “sisterhood.” It’s abuse. And it’s illegal.

💔 The Devastating Consequences of Hazing in Twin Falls County

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars—it can destroy lives. Victims in Twin Falls County and across Idaho have suffered:

🩺 Life-threatening injuries – Rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown), kidney failure, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones
🏥 Prolonged hospitalizations – Some victims spend days or weeks in the ICU fighting for their lives
🧠 Permanent psychological trauma – PTSD, anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation
🎓 Academic disruption – Dropping out of school, failing classes, losing scholarships
💔 Death – Every year, students die from hazing-related injuries

If your child has been hazed, their suffering is not their fault. And the people who hurt them must be held accountable.

🏛️ Who Is Liable for Hazing in Twin Falls County?

When hazing happens, multiple parties share responsibility. At Attorney 911, we pursue every liable entity to maximize compensation for Twin Falls County victims. This includes:

1️⃣ The Local Fraternity/Sorority Chapter (Near Twin Falls County)

• The students who directly participated in the hazing
• The chapter officers (President, Pledgemaster, Risk Manager) who allowed or encouraged the abuse
• The members who stood by and did nothing while hazing occurred

2️⃣ The National Fraternity/Sorority Organization

• Failed to enforce anti-hazing policies despite knowing about dangerous traditions
• Ignored prior incidents at other chapters (many national organizations have multiple hazing deaths on their record)
• Provided inadequate training to local chapters
• Enabled a culture of abuse by turning a blind eye

3️⃣ The University or College (Near Twin Falls County)

• Failed to monitor Greek life despite knowing hazing occurs
• Ignored warning signs (prior hazing incidents, complaints from students)
• Owned or controlled the property where hazing occurred (many universities own fraternity/sorority houses)
• Betrayed the trust of students and parents by allowing dangerous behavior

4️⃣ Individual Members & Alumni

• Alumni who host hazing events at their homes
• Members who film or document hazing (this is evidence that can be used against them)
• Anyone who knew about the hazing and did nothing

5️⃣ Insurance Companies

• Most fraternities, sororities, and universities have liability insurance that covers hazing incidents
• We aggressively pursue these policies to ensure victims receive full compensation

We don’t just sue one person. We sue EVERYONE responsible.

💰 How Much Is a Twin Falls County Hazing Case Worth?

Hazing cases can result in multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts. The exact amount depends on:

✔ Severity of injuries (hospitalization, permanent damage, wrongful death)
✔ Egregiousness of conduct (waterboarding, forced alcohol poisoning, physical assault)
✔ Pattern of abuse (was this an isolated incident, or part of a systemic problem?)
✔ Institutional knowledge (did the university or national organization know about prior hazing?)
✔ Attempts to cover up the incident (destroying evidence, intimidating witnesses)

⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a Twin Falls County Hazing Victim

• Depending on the severity, perpetrators can face:
  • Misdemeanor charges (up to 1 year in jail)
  • Felony charges (if serious bodily injury or death occurs)
• Consent is NOT a defense—even if your child “agreed” to participate, the hazers can still be criminally liable.

💰 Medical bills (past, present, and future)
💰 Lost wages (if your child missed work or lost job opportunities)
💰 Pain and suffering (physical and emotional trauma)
💰 Punitive damages (to punish the defendants for egregious conduct)
💰 Wrongful death (if hazing resulted in a fatality)

3️⃣ Title IX Claims (For Sexual Assault or Gender-Based Hazing)

• If hazing involved sexual assault, harassment, or gender discrimination, you may have a Title IX claim.
• Title IX requires schools to protect students from gender-based violence.
• We can help you file a Title IX complaint with the university and the U.S. Department of Education.

🎯 Common Defenses in Hazing Cases – And How We Crush Them

Fraternities, sororities, and universities will try to blame the victim. Here’s how we fight back:

❌ Defense: “He/She Consented to the Hazing”

✅ Our Response:

• Idaho law says consent is NOT a defense (Idaho Code § 18-917).
• Peer pressure, fear of expulsion, and social coercion negate true consent.
• No one “consents” to torture.

❌ Defense: “It Was Just Tradition – Everyone Goes Through It”

✅ Our Response:

• “Tradition” does not justify illegal activity.
• Assault is assault, regardless of “tradition.”
• Universities and national organizations have a duty to stop dangerous practices.

❌ Defense: “The University Didn’t Know About the Hazing”

✅ Our Response:

• Universities have a duty to monitor Greek life.
• If they own the fraternity house, they have premises liability.
• Prior hazing incidents (even at other chapters) put them on notice.

❌ Defense: “The National Organization Didn’t Control the Chapter”

✅ Our Response:

• National organizations have bylaws, policies, and oversight authority.
• They receive dues from chapters – they have a financial duty to supervise.
• If they knew about a “hazing crisis” and did nothing, they’re liable.
