Hazing Victims in Wilcox County, Alabama: Your Rights & How Attorney 911 Can Help

🚨 Hazing Is Not Tradition—It’s Abuse. And It’s Happening in Wilcox County.

Wilcox County is known for its tight-knit communities, historic landmarks like the Wilcox County Courthouse in Camden, and strong family values. But beneath the surface of college life at nearby institutions like Tuskegee University, Auburn University, and the University of Alabama, a dangerous culture persists: hazing.

If you or someone you love has been a victim of hazing in Wilcox County—or at any university in Alabama—you’re not alone. Attorney 911 is fighting this battle right now in a landmark $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We’re bringing that same fight to Wilcox County families.

🔥 What Happens in Hazing? The Reality for Wilcox County Students

Hazing isn’t just “rough initiation”—it’s physical and psychological torture disguised as tradition. Recent cases reveal what really happens behind closed doors:

• Waterboarding with garden hoses (simulated drowning)
• Forced consumption of alcohol, food, or non-food items until vomiting
• Extreme physical punishment: 500 squats, 100 pushups, bear crawls until collapse
• Being struck with wooden paddles
• Sleep deprivation and late-night servitude
• Psychological humiliation: carrying sexual objects, forced nudity, verbal abuse
• Threats of expulsion or physical harm if victims speak up

This isn’t just hazing—it’s assault. And it’s illegal.

💔 The Medical Consequences: What Hazing Does to Wilcox County Students

Hazing doesn’t just leave emotional scars—it can destroy lives physically.

Case Study: Leonel Bermudez (University of Houston, 2025)

• Diagnosis: Severe rhabdomyolysis (muscle breakdown) and acute kidney failure
• Cause: Forced to perform 500 squats, 100 pushups, and other extreme exercises under threat of expulsion
• Result: Hospitalized for 4 days, passing brown urine (a sign of muscle breakdown), unable to walk
• Long-term risks: Chronic kidney disease, potential need for dialysis or transplant

This happened in Texas—but it’s happening in Alabama too.

Other Medical Risks of Hazing:

• Alcohol poisoning (leading to coma or death)
• Traumatic brain injury (from falls or beatings)
• Hypothermia/hyperthermia (from exposure to extreme weather)
• Cardiac arrest (from extreme physical exertion)
• PTSD, anxiety, depression, and suicide

If your child was hazed in Wilcox County, they could be at risk for any of these conditions.

⚖️ Alabama Hazing Laws: What Wilcox County Victims Need to Know

Alabama’s Anti-Hazing Law (Code of Alabama § 16-1-23)

Hazing is a Class C misdemeanor in Alabama, punishable by:

• Up to 3 months in jail
• Fines up to $500

But here’s the catch: Many victims don’t report because of fear of retaliation or loyalty to their organization. That’s why civil lawsuits are so important—they hold institutions accountable when criminal charges fail.

Who Can Be Sued in Wilcox County Hazing Cases?

Wilcox County families: You don’t have to fight this alone. We sue everyone responsible.

💰 Precedent Cases: Hazing Victims Win Millions

Hazing cases don’t just result in criminal charges—they lead to multi-million-dollar settlements and verdicts. Here’s what other families have won:

Wilcox County families: These cases prove that hazing victims can and do win big. The same legal strategies apply to Alabama cases.

🏛️ Who’s Really Responsible? The Institutions That Failed Wilcox County Students

1. Fraternities & Sororities

• Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Kappa Alpha Order, and others have chapters near Wilcox County
• They claim to have “anti-hazing policies”—but they don’t enforce them
• Example: Pi Kappa Phi knew about a 2017 hazing death (Andrew Coffey) and still allowed waterboarding in 2025

2. Universities & Colleges

• Tuskegee University, Auburn University, University of Alabama, and others have Greek life
• They own or control fraternity/sorority houses—meaning they’re responsible for what happens there
• They knew hazing was happening (many have prior incidents) but failed to stop it

3. National Organizations

• These groups have millions in assets and insurance
• They profit from student dues but fail to protect students
• They close chapters after scandals—but reopen them later, showing no real change

🚨 What Should Wilcox County Families Do If Their Child Was Hazed?

🔹 Step 1: Seek Medical Attention Immediately

• Rhabdomyolysis, alcohol poisoning, and other hazing injuries can be life-threatening
• Document everything: Hospital records, doctor’s notes, photos of injuries

🔹 Step 2: Preserve Evidence

• Save all communications: Texts, GroupMe messages, Snapchats, emails
• Take screenshots of social media posts about hazing
• Get witness names and contact info
• Keep physical evidence (clothing, objects used in hazing)

🔹 Step 3: Do NOT Talk to the Fraternity, Sorority, or University Alone

• They will try to control the narrative
• They will pressure you to stay quiet
• They will destroy evidence if they can
