Born in the wild imaginations of a few friends in Blacksburg, Virginia, Naughty Scotties began in 2018 as a prank, a fake listing for a “waterpark and bar” that was, in reality, just a college apartment. The idea? Confuse the residents. The result? Accidentally build a local legend.
The prank fizzled fast, but the name stuck. Soon, reviews started rolling in - long, ridiculous, and weirdly heartfelt stories about flooded floors, pirate ships, and surprisingly good tater tots. The fake waterpark became a very real piece of Blacksburg lore.
As word spread, Naughty Scotties evolved from inside joke to community hub. In 2019, the founders launched the Naughty Scotties Club, a student-run community accelerator at Virginia Tech dedicated to connection, creativity, and chaos (the good kind). They hosted events, partnered with other organizations, and even earned a nomination for Virginia Tech’s New Organization of Excellence Award.
Today, Naughty Scotties stands as a reminder that good ideas don’t have to make sense — they just have to bring people together.
