🛡️ York County Hazing Victims: Your Legal Rights and How Attorney 911 Can Help
Hazing Doesn’t Stop at State Lines — And Neither Do We
York County families: If your child has been hazed at a fraternity, sorority, sports team, or any student organization near York County, you are not alone. The same national fraternities that waterboarded a student at University of Houston have chapters near York County. The same universities that failed to protect students in Texas are operating near York County. And the same legal strategies that are winning millions for hazing victims nationwide can work for York County families.
At Attorney 911, we are currently litigating a $10 million hazing lawsuit against Pi Kappa Phi and the University of Houston. We know how to build these cases. We know how to hold institutions accountable. And we will fight for York County families with the same aggression we’re bringing to Houston.
🚨 The Hazing Crisis in York County: What Parents Need to Know
It’s Happening Near York County — Right Now
The hazing that hospitalized our client in Houston isn’t confined to Texas. The same fraternities operate at universities near York County. The same “traditions” of forced drinking, physical abuse, and psychological torture exist at York County-area institutions. And the same culture of silence and intimidation keeps victims from coming forward.
York County parents: Your child could be at risk.
The Medical Reality: Hazing Can Kill
Our client was hospitalized for four days with severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney failure after being forced to do 500 squats, waterboarded with a garden hose, and struck with wooden paddles.
This isn’t “boys being boys.” This is torture.
And it can be deadly. Since 2000, there has been at least one hazing death every year in the United States. In 2021 alone, multiple students died from hazing — including Stone Foltz at Bowling Green State University, whose family won a $10 million settlement.
York County families: Hazing isn’t harmless. It’s dangerous. It’s illegal. And it can destroy lives.
⚖️ Your Legal Rights as a York County Hazing Victim
You Have the Right to Seek Justice — Even from a Distance
While we’re based in Texas, hazing laws protect students nationwide. And our federal court authority allows us to represent York County victims no matter where the hazing occurred.
Who Can Be Held Liable?
| Defendant | Why They’re Responsible |
|---|---|
| Local Chapter | Directly organized and conducted the hazing |
| National Organization | Knew about hazing culture; failed to supervise chapters |
| University | Failed to protect students; may own the property where hazing occurred |
| Chapter Officers | Leadership responsibility; directed hazing activities |
| Individual Members | Participated in hazing; failed to stop it |
| Housing Corporations | Owned/controlled property where hazing occurred |
| Alumni/Hosts | Allowed hazing at their homes; premises liability |
In our current case, we’re suing:
- The local chapter
- The national organization
- The university
- The housing corporation
- Individual members
- Former members and their spouses
York County families: We will pursue every responsible party in your case too.
💰 What Is Your York County Hazing Case Worth?

📢 The Message to York County Fraternities and Universities
To the fraternities operating near York County:
We are watching. The same legal strategies that secured $10+ million verdicts nationwide apply to your chapter. If you haze students in York County, we will find every liable entity. We will sue you. We will win. And you will pay.
To the universities near York County:
The University of Houston owned the fraternity house where our client was waterboarded. They collected rent while students were tortured. They had the power to stop it — and they didn’t. If your university owns Greek housing and fails to protect students, you are liable.
To Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Pi Kappa Alpha, and all national fraternities with chapters near York County:
You know about the “hazing crisis.” You’ve paid millions in settlements. You’ve had students die. And yet, you continue to allow this culture. We will hold you accountable.
