You have to remember the differences in new member programs between the NPC and the NPHC groups.
Most, althought not all, NPC groups now give new members full voting status (with the exception of officer elections) and full membership rights (with some exceptions for wearing of the Crest, letters, etc.) from the get-go. The new members still work very hard to learn the history and principles of their chosen organization, but the way new members are viewed in the sorority is much different from they way new members are viewed in the NPHC. At least, that has been my experience in reading and speaking with NPHC members.
Yes, there should be mutual respect between the initiated sisters and the new members. New members chastising sisters after an apology had been made is just rude.
