Traditions and rituals emerge naturally in any community that lasts long enough. At least if you let them emerge instead of trying to create them deliberately.

Traditions and rituals emerge naturally in any community that lasts long enough. At least if you let them emerge instead of trying to create them deliberately. Traditional universities are full of rituals, because they are among the oldest secular institutions still in existence. For example, I got my doctoral sword and hat in an elaborate multi-day ceremony in 2014, and I will be invited to participate again in 2064 if I live long enough.
