5. Men of Honor Pledge Dies Trying To Swim Across A Deadly River
Via thecomingcrisis.blogspot.com
Marvell Edmondson drowned to his death while trying to cross the Appomattox River. It was the final step of the initiation hazing into the illegitimate fraternity connected to Virginia State University. Appomattox River is a popular destination for whitewater rafting and canoeing. And its waters are treacherous. Of the seven other students involved, 5 were pulled to shore. One student remained missing but was later found 200 yards downstream. At least three other people have died trying to swim across the Appomattox River since 2008. Marvell Edmondson may have fell into a sinkhole or a deeper spot somewhere in the river.
The illegitimate fraternity’s name was “Men of Honor.” A Virginia State official says “Men of Honor” is not a sanctioned club at the university, although the school was “aware” of the group. It’s been described as an “underground, shadow organization” which the university refuses to recognize.
