🚨 Hazing Victims in Wright County, Missouri: You Are Not Alone
If your child has been hazed at a college or university near Wright County, Missouri, Attorney 911 is here to fight for you. We are currently representing a student who was hospitalized after severe hazing at the University of Houston, and we are committed to holding fraternities, sororities, and universities accountable for these dangerous practices—no matter where in America they occur.
🔥 The Crisis Happening in Wright County, Missouri
Hazing isn’t just a problem at big universities in Texas or Louisiana—it’s happening right here near Wright County, Missouri. Whether your child attends Missouri State University, Drury University, Ozarks Technical Community College, or another institution in the region, they may be at risk.
The same national fraternities and sororities that have paid millions in settlements for hazing deaths and injuries operate chapters at universities near Wright County. Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and others have been involved in cases where students were hospitalized or killed. If your child was hazed in Wright County, we can help you seek justice.
⚠️ What Wright County Families Need to Know About Hazing
1. Hazing Is Not “Tradition”—It’s Abuse
Hazing is often dismissed as “just tradition” or “boys being boys.” But when hazing involves forced drinking, physical abuse, sleep deprivation, or humiliation, it becomes a serious legal issue. In our current case, a student was waterboarded, forced to do 500 squats, and struck with wooden paddles—activities that led to rhabdomyolysis and kidney failure.
This isn’t tradition. It’s assault. It’s battery. It’s illegal.
2. Universities Near Wright County Are Failing to Protect Students
Many universities in Missouri and across the country own or control fraternity and sorority houses, yet they fail to monitor them properly. In our case, the University of Houston owned the fraternity house where hazing occurred—and they had prior knowledge of hazing risks from a 2017 incident.
If your child was hazed at a university near Wright County, the institution may share liability for failing to protect them.
3. National Fraternities Knew the Risks—and Did Nothing
In 2017, Andrew Coffey died from hazing at Pi Kappa Phi’s Florida State University chapter. Eight years later, Leonel Bermudez was hospitalized after hazing at Pi Kappa Phi’s University of Houston chapter. The national organization knew about the dangers but failed to enforce anti-hazing policies.
If your child was hazed by a fraternity or sorority near Wright County, the national organization may also be liable.
4. You Have Legal Rights—Even If Your Child “Consented”
Some fraternities argue that victims “consented” to hazing. But Missouri law (like Texas law) explicitly states that consent is NOT a defense. Even if your child agreed to participate, they cannot legally consent to illegal activities like assault or battery.
5. The Clock Is Ticking—Act Now
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, but evidence disappears quickly. Witnesses forget details, messages are deleted, and organizations destroy records. The sooner you contact us, the stronger your case will be.
💔 What Hazing Looks Like for Wright County Students
Hazing can take many forms, but some of the most dangerous activities include:
