THE NEED FOR INITIATION
Initiation is an important part of forming a group. It gives new members a sense of belonging, it builds common experiences among the whole group and sets norms among them necessary for performing. It is also an essential aspect of gaining acceptance into an organization (Driver, 1998).
Not every form of initiation is hazing. Communitas is the ultimate goal of initiation. It is the causing of community spirit, equality, and togetherness for new members (Myers, 2000). "This Communitas is the central positive function of initiation rituals...thoughtfully constructed initiation rituals can play a constructive role in a group" (Myers, 2000).
It is a three-part process where people who are initiated are separated from others, given information, usually secretive, and go through some ritual and become a member of the group (Myers, 2000). After passing this liminal stage, the period between being introduced to the organization and becoming a full member, the individual has completed initiation (Myers, 2000).
