I do have an idea, but it doesn't really involve an offical initiation ritual.
This assumes he hasn't made his required asassin-joining-kill yet:
To join the asassins, he has to kill a specific individual, pointed out to him by a member of the asassins.
Play out the asassination as an adventure, and have the (very high level) asassin follow him. (make spot checks for the PC and hide checks for the NPC if necessary, but using an NPC that is high enough not to even have to make checks against his spot would be ideal)
Right after he has successfully killed the target (assuming it all goes according to plan and there is no one alerted) the NPC 'steps out of the shadows' and simply welcomes him to the asassins, paying him the fee on the victim's head.
This is an initiation fully within the 'flavor' I think would fit an asassins guild and its 'rituals'. It shows how the asassins work (you kill because you get payed) and that there's always someone better than you....

Well to think of a good ceremony you first have to decide what it is that the ceremony is suppost to symbolize. Perhaps your adsassins guild has some tenets that you could use. Perhaps it's a show of loyalty. Or some connection with a divinity.
Some ideas:
- Have the initiate sign a contract in blood, vowing loyalty for the remainder of his live and beyond to the guild.
- Have the initiate branded with some mark.
- Sacrifice some goats/children/outsiders and let the initiate bath in their blood, thusly 'washing' away all ties of his previous life.
- Kill the initiate at the end of the ceremony and true ressurect him (a bit later, let the [;ayer sweat a little =P).
Make sure what your guild is and represents, what is important to them and then come up with something that symbolizes that.

Cribed from the Elder Scrolls series, but to summon a representive of The Dark Brotherhood to arrange for a hit, you must perform an evil ritual in a pentagramed circle surronded by black candles where the subject stabs the entrails of an animal repeatly while grasping finger nails or hair samples from the subject to be killed.
This should be easy enough to copy.
