it's been a bit, but last time I checked, mages (casters and phys ads) of various stripes could initiate together if memory serves. is this still accurate ?

[Rand]

I believe that the only time they can initiate together is if they are members of the same maical group (like a club). Also, being part of a group, and going by the groups laws and restrictions, I think they can save on karma and nuyen cost. Though the cost is probably (somewhat) mitigated by the fact that they generally have to pay dues.

[Hagga]

As long as they are a part of the same magical group, it's flowers and nuyen forever.

Except that most of the groups have restrictions like "Limited membership: One single god-awful tradition."

[Tanegar]

So you create your own group out of the Awakened characters at your table. If they're different traditions, though, it makes the group formation harder. Also, I seem to recall somebody saying that an adept's Way (Warrior's Way, Invisible Way, etc.) counts as a tradition for this purpose.
