What is the rationale for recruiting a "type"?

This might seem like a weird question, but here we go.

Why do some chapters recruit a certain "type"? I'm not asking for membership selection information and I'm pretty certain that there is no NPC group that always recruits the same "type" on every campus.

Without going too much into Tri Delta membership selection, we were always encouraged to recruit a diverse group of women. We wanted a well-rounded chapter with different women in terms of majors, hometowns, looks, campus involvement, etc.

So I guess I'm curious what motivates certain chapters to go for a certain look or type. Campus reputation? Wanting to be around people just like themselves? Fraternity relationships?

Thoughts or experience with this? Thanks!
