I haven’t hear of any prohibition to walk under the arch before graduating. Rather, in my day, it was don’t walk under the arch as a freshman. If you do, you won’t graduate.

Originally, all upperclassmen were free to walk under the Arch without penalty and only freshmen were subject to the consequences of the myth. In fact, this idea was taken so seriously that it was included in an issue of the student handbook, known as the “G” book.
