Georgetown traditions continue this weekend with Chimes Night at the Tombs.
Georgetown homecoming weekend brings together alumns and current students to celebrate the University and its many traditions. One such tradition is Chimes Night at the Tombs, the local watering hole of St. Elmo's fame. The Chimes, an all-male a capella group, have sung once a month at the Tombs for 48 years.
