Now see, a "regret with interest" makes sense. But the "accept with regret" seems to be the total opposite as well as not flattering to the chapter that receives it.
Frankly, if a rushee said during rush "If I don't get a bid to ABC or XYZ, then I'll consider joining Sigma Chi" I would tell them not to bother. Actually, I believe I would use more colorful language than that.
