If inititation is something to be feared, then you need to re-think becoming a member of the organization. I am guessing much of what you "hear" is simply "rumour" - sometimes, the sheer mystery of initiation puts you in such a mental state that you don't know what to expect, and therefore subject to feeling intimidated and nervous.
If you are for real, and actually scared, talk to your pledge educator. Initiation should be exciting, and something to look forward to, not feared.
I have to say that in both cases, initiation for me was amazingly poignant. To me, it was a culmination of learning and experiencing, and solidifying the union of who I was to begin with, and the person I can become.
