Sigma Nu frat at Old Dominion suspended for offensive banners

Just before the new semester kicked off at Old Dominion University, some un-"welcome" signs have resulted in a fraternity's suspension.

Parents bringing their freshmen students to move-in at the Norfolk, Virginia, campus and community last week might have glimpsed these banners hanging from the balcony of a private home.

"Rowdy and Fun. Hope your baby girl is ready for a good time," read one of the signs, which was spray-painted on a sheet. "Freshman daughter drop off," and "Go ahead and drop off mom too," were messages displayed on two other sheets, CNN affiliate WTKR reported.

Members of the Sigma Nu fraternity live at the house, and now the national Sigma Nu organization has suspended the group while it investigates the incident.

Humorless libtards everywhere believe those frat boys deserve to be castrated for violating the sacred rules of political correctness!

Are they offensive because they don’t want Dad dropped off also?

“Political correctness” means things like not mentioning the skin color of a crime suspect, having transgendered soldiers, giving courage awards to a mentally ill man who thinks he is a woman, etc.

What the scumbag frat boys did was not “non-PC”, it was rude, crude and disgusting.

Crude behavior has always been a Liberal value and has never been a Conservative one.

Great humor if you are in 8th grade, but one would hope for something more sophisticated from Old Dominion students.

This is way beyond political correctness. It is both monumentally stupid and outrageously rude. Behave like that in public and it’s only a matter of time before you’re chewing sidewalk.

...the national Sigma Nu organization has suspended the group...

Really? Given all the things that could go badly at a fraternity house, this is the one you want to go to war for? Go ahead...turn the frat house into a library or a monk's dorm. Stupid national leadership...much like this Republic has.

I am sure I risk being called a sexist pig etc., but I thought those sheet signs were pretty funny.

They should have hired a sorority to line up under the daughter drop-off banner. That would have made this picture priceless!
