For three very different takes on the same basic "secret rites at
university" theme, I'd add:

TAM LIN, Pamela Dean
THE SECRET HISTORY, Donna Tartt
WAKING THE MOON, Elizabeth Hand

The middle one is by far the best, but there's much to be said for the
first's subtleties and the third's wretched excess. :^)
