Fraternity keeps Ohio State victory bell ringing after football games

As the crowd empties Ohio Stadium after winning football games members of the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity begin ringing the victory bell.

They take turns pulling the cord of the 2,000-pound bell for 15 minutes. If Ohio State beats the team up north they ring the bell for 30 minutes.

“It was really loud,” said senior Eric Salomon after his first trip to the top of the southeast corner of the stadium to ring the bell.

He and seven other members of the co-ed fraternity took turns ringing the bell, waved to fans from above and captured photos of the ritual.
