Exactly. It's February. Bid day was what? .. a month ago, maybe? Let's assume the new members aren't respecting the active sisters, or the chapter, or the sorority, or anything at all. Either you need to re-work your membership selection criteria, or you need to look at the behavior/character of the active members. Either way, it's not the new members' fault. Don't take anything out on them.
If you want them to show some respect, show them some respect in return. Set a good example. But don't put them down by requiring them to do ridiculous things or to dress a certain way. This will surely have the opposite effect you're looking for.
