Crass, sexually suggestive banners “welcoming” freshman women to a Virginia college last week have sparked outrage and led to the suspension of at least one of the school’s fraternities.
The white signs draped over the balconies of an off-campus Old Dominion University house read “Rowdy and fun, hope your baby girl is ready for a good time,” “Freshman Daughter Drop Off” and “Go ahead and Drop Off Mom Too.”
The “O” “D” and “U” on the first sign were highlighted in blue, while the other letters were black.
The signs have since been taken down, but a picture of the sign and outrage over the messages circulated on social media.
