While the recruitment/intake cultures of NPHC and NIC are very different, there is some logic to what Dr. Phil is saying. You don't want to press too hard. Totally changing perception is a slow go, especially with men who need to process information VERY slowly. So you get it out there and move on.
Your best recruitment tool is going to be campus presence, being visibly fun to the outside world, etc; showing your value without having to cram it down anyone's throat. Similar to NPC informal rushing, I would suggest you go after a few really strong guys and let it grow from there. But this is no "pledge 30 guys this semester and be done with it" plan. Depending on the size of your chapter (and what negative perceptions you're dealing with), if you could pledge 2 or 3 quality guys, you could consider that a win. Then hopefully 5 or 6 equally quality guys next semester.
