Maybe new members simply have their Auras unlocked by experienced members upon joining.

I think White Fang members have their Auras unlocked the day they join the White Fang.

In Painting the Town..., during the faction meeting, the Lieutenant tells all new recruits to come forward. One might think that the new members were simply receiving their uniforms or something like that, but I think they were having their Auras unlocked.

At 8:28, we are shown the front of the line, and if you pay close attention, you will see that the first man in line flickers white for a second.

Unfortunately, we don't get a good look at what exactly is happening at the front of the line. Besides, it looks different than when Jaune's Aura was unlocked, so I'm not so sure if they are really unlocking Auras.
