Crossing

"Crossing" is simply a synonym for initiating. It's roots lie in the
old cliche about "crossing the burning sands" which is a euphemistic
way to refer to old-fashioned hazing practices. Usage of the term is
most often associated with the NPHC organziations, especially the ones
that have explicit references to Egyptian mythology in their rituals.
