2 traditions to check off
Stamped! keeps these as a checklist, so you can tick each one off on the visit.
The Arch
The Arch is the gateway between North Campus and downtown Athens. By legend, students do not walk under it until they graduate, so many visitors walk around it and take a photo instead.
Chapel Bell
The bell beside the Chapel has been rung to celebrate football wins since 1894. The university encourages ringing it for athletic victories and other special occasions.
