This is a list of traditions. Some are more iconic than others, but they are unique things associated with that school, done every season.

It'd be nice to see a suggestion where a group is doing something or giving time to support the school team. Not necessarily looking for something to be done for or given to themselves.

The entitlement thing again?

Where the hell are the war flamingo activists?

Odd that the two of them would miss this opportunity.

-on-campus football stadium
-keep beating UCF in all football games
-get NCAA status for the fencing and lacrosse teams
-real greek houses
-electric cars dont have to pay for parking permits, hybrids get discounted rates
-put awnings over motorcycle parking areas
-stop charging for cups of water at the library starbucks
-stock the lakes on campus so students can fish in them
 
I think these are pretty good ideas too

None of this is tradition.

I know I am just poking fun at the entire idea of this, as in getting something you want by going about it the entirely wrong way.

Some traditions are started because members of a group start doing something, like the band and it catches on. If you looked through that list of traditions, one was cowbells. So if I bring a cowbell to a game, it probably won't catch on. If students vote on bringing cowbells to games and start doing it, it becomes tradition. They are making it easier for a good idea to become a tradition by exposing it to the student body. Nothing wrong with it at all IMO.

This. I'm not Greek at all, but I know it's a huge part of college and ours are a complete joke.

 

But, who gives a **** about our fencing team? No offense to anyone on it though.

The Bullbackers group was initially formed to address stuff like this- support the new team, build interest and tradition. Ran into a number of things.

I applaud anyone or group giving of their time to make it better.

The war flamingo is completely dead. TSA will not allow them into the stadium because "they are projectiles."
