I could be wrong, but I don't think tax status has anything to do with single-sex status. Tax status has to do with things like whether the organization is is for profit or not-for-profit. The single-sex/co-ed status has to do with Title IX and whether a university or college can receive federal funds while hosting a single-sex organization. There is an exception for social fraternities and sororities.

In any event, I think the presence of a handful of members who "switched," if a violation of laws concerning status under federal law, would almost certainly be considered a de minimus violation that would not bother the IRS or the Dept. of Education.
