club traditions

Inherited membership practices

Club traditions are customs, rituals, or practices passed down within a particular club or organization.

These might include initiation rites, annual events, dress codes, songs, or informal rules that members are expected to observe: The fraternity's club traditions included a secret handshake.

Such traditions often reinforce group identity and distinguish members from outsiders.
