I read my soror's question in the context that she sees a lack of respect by neos/younger memmbers towards prophytes/older members. (Soror Reds695 correct me if I am wrong!)
I see a lack of respect in general, not just among Greeks. This younger generation is much more "grown" than my generation (I'm a child of the Eighties). Some of the things they twist their mouths to say would have landed us on the floor.
Just as in your natural family, you not disrepect your grandmother, you should apply the same courtesy to your Greek family. Elders are the keepers of the tradition and have paved the way so that we may partake. In my humble opinion, a lack of respect for your elders shows a lack of respect for yourself. If you allow someone with this type of mentality into your organization, then you are at fault.

However, as a matter of courtsey the opinions of older members usually carry greater influence because of the added experience and maturity of the senior member.
