At this time, you cannot become "un-initiated" with a Syndicate once you have paid the sacrifice to be initiated with them. However, that does not stop you from becoming initiated with any other Syndicate--you can be initiated with all of them, if you so choose. What actually matters is your reputation with a syndicate, which will be affected by your activities involving the other syndicates (regardless of whether or not you are initiated with them).

So if, for example, you are initiated with New Loka and want to instead work with Cephalon Suda, you can simply become initiated with Cephalon Suda (which you can do at any time, no matter what your standing with that Syndicate is), slap on the Cephalon Suda sigil, and start running missions. As you do this, you will start earning reputation with Cephalon Suda while at the same time your reputation with New Loka (which is the enemy of Cephalon Suda) will decrease.

In this way, it is possible to go from Rank 5 with one Syndicate, then switch your loyalties and earn your way to Rank 5 with an enemy Syndicate if you so choose. Of course, you'd have to be willing to sacrifice your rank and standing with the first syndicate, but if you're ok with that you are certainly not locked into a contract with any of them :-)
