From knowing and being very close friends with past social chairs in my sorority, you will have A LOT more to worry about than what everyone else is wearing.
The girls know it is a formal. Black tie is encouraged... let them decide how to show up. Worry about if dinner will feed everyone, if your favors will arive on time, and if your deposit on the venue goes thru, not if some random dude with a sister will show up in board shorts and a hawaiian shirt.
We had a ten year anniversary formal not too long ago. We encouraged everyone to dress up more, but I think I saw one guy with a tux. And we had lots of guys in khakis. No one seemed to mind much. They were either too drunk or too 'in the moment.'
But if you are set on tuxes... don't rental shops allow guys around prom season to wear a tux for a day to 'advertise" and then they get a fat discount on the tux later? They used to do that in high school. Don't know if you can still do that in college.
