The sex assigned at birth is usually based on genitals, while we now know that factors such as chromosomes and hormones can make that determination wrong, not to mention intersex births (usually 1 in 1500 - 2000) births. If you want to use birth certificates as the standard, be aware that in many states they can be changed (47); so how do you propose to gatekeep? Genital inspection? Chromosome id? Hormone tests?

I also would like some hard data as to how often this has been a problem for a sorority. What is this "turning inside out" that is occuring? I admit I am only current on mine, so on what are you basing the idea that it is taking an "astonishing" amount of time and treasure?

FWIW - It seems to me that birth certificate would be the way to go; it would weed out anyone who wasn't serious enough to go through the process to change their birth certificate, and would be an issue only for the three states which don't allow the change.
