Virginia Fraternity Suspended Over 'Freshman Daughter Drop-Off' Sign
NBC4 Washington ^ | 24 August 2015 | NBC4

A national fraternity has suspended its activities at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia amid uproar over sexually suggestive signs posted as parents dropped off their recent high school graduates.

A private home across the street from the university's campus hung banners that read "Freshman daughter drop-off," with an arrow pointing to the front door, "Hope your baby girl is ready for a good time ..." and "Go ahead and drop off Mom too."

Several members of the fraternity Sigma Nu live in the house.

The banners generated outrage on social media and condemnation from university officials and student leaders.

In a statement, Sigma Nu's national organization said any fraternity members found responsible will be held accountable.

Sigma Nu says it condemns what it calls derogatory and demeaning language that was used on the banners.

I think it’s pretty funny. Nobody has a sense of humor anymore.

And people scratch their heads wondering why comedians won’t play colleges anymore.

Not a Trump guy, but I wish more people would handle this kind of schit like him. I am a graduate of ODU and am embarrassed... Not by the sign, but how the authorities have caved to the SJWs. They are locusts that consume the host and ODU just opened the door for them.

My Junior year in college (would have been 1976) one of the fraternities at my Alma Mater had a 4x8' sheet of plywood on the sidewalk in front of their house with this spray-painted on it: "YOUR DAUGHTER WILL SLEEP HERE."

I don't recall anyone calling the PC police on them.

Liberals don’t have brains that can comprehend humor anymore. Maybe it’s due to global warming?!

Agreed. Frat boy humor is rarely funny and usually crass.

Wonder if a sorority posting the same signs would have gotten as much blowback?

I respect the hard work and trying times parents go through to get their kids situated in life. The parents of these girls are probably going to be forking over big bucks to help prepare them for success in their lives.

These signs don’t seem all that funny to me. They are disgusting. The moms can’t even drive toward campus without being propositioned.

The one involving the freshmen girl’s moms is beyond disgusting. A group of dads should go pay these little pricks a visit, and deliver them some jokes. Now that would be funny.

These guys can’t view a young girl as anything but a few minutes pleasure on their highway through life, and moms are supposed to cheat on their husbands to fulfill these guy’s fantasies.

Not funny at all...

sort of funny but not if you have a sweet and nice young dtr and you know she already is marked by the elite rich boys....

too bad we don't really have any fathers anymore....not any outrage....typical of our culture of deviancy...

Is this a microaggression? Or a macroagression? Or perhaps a “trigger” I get them all confused...

It’s tacky. But it’s also college humor. ODU should be ashamed that “this” is even news.
