I guess in looking at it, I know coming from a school that last recruitment has 3 chapters and one colony that regret with interest would have been beneficial. Unfortunately, yes, a decision has to be made, but recruitment at my school isn't like the others, it's not cut throat.
So for some women, regret with interest was a viable option. Especially with the colony, I know that many women were interested in the organization itself; however, the colony had a weak first recruitment (which was totally understandable), so this way, it allowed both the woman and the org to realize that a possible match would occur.
Also, I know coming from a small school and a small recruitment, that the orgs are still learning that just because a woman does not return for skit night, doesn't mean you can't invite her for preference. So a "regret with interest" is just the PNM way of saying yes, I'm still interested, and may then give the group that push to continue to invite her back.
It would be interesting to find out how many women ended up joining an org that continued to invite them back, although that women had initially not returned to their recruitment? I know that's how our school's Greek Advisor got her org and it's a great example for both sisters and PNM.
**Again, I am coming from a small school standpoint, I could see, at a school with a lot of groups a woman, desperate to find somewhere to join, could regret with interest to all the groups that didn't invite her back.
