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.

We like our traditions bro. None are mandatory, I always took a buffet approach to traditions: I embraced the ones I liked (Silver Taps, Elephant Walk, ring dunk, Muster, Howdy, etc.) and ignored the ones I didn't like (Midnight yell, Fish camp, etc.)
