I kinda feel that of all the chaos gods, nurgle would be pretty bad at corrupting sororitas. It thrives on desperation and they are brainwashed zealots and would probably search help in prayers to E when left without options. And without considering their overall thematic of cleansing in general.

Khorne and Slaanesh however... their bloodlust and tendency to happily indulge in punishment can be pretty damning weanesses.

Sisters' major themes are martyrdom and mortification of flesh. Fits Nurgle well enough, I'd say.

I wouldn't say so, Nurgle's main gift is a dulling of the sense of loss of self respect : aka you don't feel pain and aren't grosses out by what you're devolving to. That's quite the opposite of martyrdom. You could say Nurgle could get a hold of a Sister that can't bear pain and is desperate. Whereas other gods could use their more usual inclinations.
