You said you're wanting to get your chapter in line to recruit girls who fit your image. Get your chapter to agree on what that image is. If you can't, then you're back to "diversity" being your image.
I dislike the idea of recruiting toward some specific "image" beyond the ideals that your sorority upholds, but unless you're all on the same page, it's a chapter problem, not a PNM problem. If the chapter is actually in agreement, then those qualities you're looking for is what you'll base MS on.
I have no idea how you're creeping PNMs out by asking them, directly "why do you want to be in a sorority?" "What could you bring to a chapter?" and telling them what XYZ offers them.
Unless you're creepy people.

I would say we aren't diverse in a selling way only because we have tensions of some girls wanting to be more involved and some that i think want to but are just very shy. I know asking "so why do you want to be in a sorority" isn't a creepy question, my only fear is that every chapter asks that so it's going to be a preprogrammed response. We basically just want this years recruitment to fulfill the image that does correspond to our sororities values: service, sisterhood, and campus involvement. We're not even looking for a PHYSICAL image (however, we want girls to know how to present themselves well) as much as an ideal 'image' that our chapter is a group of fun girls that like to get involved with all aspects of greek life. I just am looking for suggestions of how to sit down as a chapter and discuss what our "ideal pnm" is so that we have a more common foundation if that makes sense?
