Fellow Georgia graduates

Yep. I grew up in Athens and my mom worked in the pharmacy school. By the time anyone told me not to, I’d already done it half a hundred times.

Every time because I never expected to graduate.

I never walk under. I also never let anyone new I take to a game walk under. I also never let my kids ring the Chapel Bell unless we win and they stay the whole game.Those are the first two lessons about going to a game that I taught them.

Absolutely not. And thank you for not being an unwashed heathen and calling it the Arches.

I thought it was if you walk under the arch you won't graduate when you're supposed too

I drunkenly walked under it one night freshman year going back to the dorms, and I can vouch for the legend-only I ended up graduating a semester early

Never.

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.

I did but I just kept forgetting

I did once by accident walking homefrom Down Town one evening.

I still managed to graduate, albeit barely. Apparently never going to class makes it difficult to make good grades. My philosophy was always, "C's get degrees." Not shockingly, I graduated with a 2.13.

I always heard it was just Freshmen who could not pass. At least it was that way when I was there. But it seems to have changed.
