One must earn respect--one must not feel she is entitled to a certain amount of respect just because she was initiated before you were. I'm not speaking of National visitors, because based on their stature, it shows that they are indeed respectable women. There are women, other Alpha Chis, that have done nothing to gain my respect, even though they may be older. I think this sense of entitlement regarding respect is what fuels many of the most severe hazing cases.
