campus traditions

Campus traditions are special customs and activities that foster community and school spirit among students, faculty, and alumni. They often include annual events, rituals, or symbols that celebrate the institution’s history and values, such as homecoming parades, mascot cheer routines, or founding-day celebrations. These traditions create a sense of belonging, continuity, and pride, passing down shared identity from generation to generation. They vary widely between schools but generally serve to unite members and maintain a connection to the institution’s legacy and culture.
