InitiationCeremony question Literature

Initiation Ceremony has the categories Pleasant, Humiliating, Horrific, Funny, and Other. I'm not sure which one the following example from Anne of the Island fits into:

[Gilbert] was also invited to join the "Lambs" — Redmondese for Lamba Theta — a compliment rarely paid to a Freshman. As a preparatory initiation ordeal he had to parade the principal business streets of Kingsport for a whole day wearing a sunbonnet and a voluminous kitchen apron of gaudily flowered calico. This he did cheerfully, doffing his sunbonnet with courtly grace when he met ladies of his acquaintance.
