Just thinking out loud.
Side note: I told my husband last year that SIP was an option for my daughter and he looked at me like I was crazy. His words "I know it's been a lot of drama for you and her and I'm butting out but I hope you didn't encourage her to SIP. That makes no sense to me." I told him he was a boy and that girls think differently. He said "I don't get it. Go through a week of hell (his words) and then walk away at the end? Women."

I like your husband.
I agree with Pineapple. The reason varies from woman to woman, though we do live in a world of brands. Some women probably do regret it, but recruitment often involves a lot of emotions and not a lot of time to deal with hurt.
FWIW, I SIPed in my first recruitment. Looking back now, I wouldn't regret it. I had felt incredibly uncomfortable in the chapter all week. The women constantly told me stories of situations that I would not have felt comfortable being around. They also constantly talked down about other chapters. The vibe they gave off during recruitment was about the opposite of what I wanted. I still don't think I would have done well there. Granted, recruitment didn't work out for me, but I didn't fit well with the campus which is why I transferred.
