For example, most SEC school major traditions happened sporadically, and people decided to keep doing them. For TAMU, I think either they didn't really happen sporadically, or you decided to keep doing EVERYTHING for the purpose of creating new traditions

I've read this multiple times, and I'm still struggling with what you're saying. My apologies … but could you help me out?
If we're only continuing to do everything we've always done, as you say, how is that creating new traditions, "just because?"

Seems self-explanatory to me. You can disagree, but I don't know why it is confusing. For example, at Auburn, we may have picked 10 things over the course of 150 years to do regularly, and hence they've become traditions. At TAMU, it seems you've selected 150 things to do over the past 125 years to become traditions. My belief is that TAMU has done this with posterity in mind.
