I agree with what pretty much everyone else said here.
My sorority's initation ceremony is beautiful, wonderful, and meaningful all at the same time.
I remember every anticipatory moment of it, and I still get a twinge of that feeling when we initiate a new class every semester.
I know that if at initiation I had felt that I needed to go through a challenge or prove myself to the sisterhood, that my pledgeship would have been in-vain and I would have considered walking out right there.
