Does NUS lack tradition?

For a university with a history of more than a 100 years, NUS doesn't seem to have a very community feel. As a student, or alumni, have you ever felt like part of something bigger, wholesome, traditional? 'Cos that's just it, this place feels like it has no tradition. The overpriced bears with blue and orange clothes on are the only memorabilia that this place boasts of. With a desire so strong to stay up-to-date with the latest, the past is somehow lost along the way.
