Honestly, I can't imagine what would happen.
One comment I'd like to make is that since transgendered persons often don't "feel" as if they belong to their birth sex, I can't see, for example, a transgendered woman being interested in sorority life--she sees herself as male, so why would she want to join a women's group. Of course, then again, you have the compensation issues that many transgendered persons have--ie atransgendered man trying to compensate by being ultra-masculine when they feel like a woman.
Personally, if this situation arose, if it came into light, I think it would be very unclassy to depin this person. I don't know how it work out in an alum club situation, supposing that person wanted to become involved. It could be awkward. But I think it would just be plain mean to depin that person. They were a part of the siblinghood. Besides, most transgendered people struggle and fail to reclassify themselves legally as the sex they identify with. So technically, legally, these people are still their birth sex. Many of them are married, for example. So I'm not sure the "no longer a woman, only women are in our org" argument works.
It would certainly be a messy legal battle if it came to that.
And any org that chose to write that in to its Constitution might come out looking very poorly in history's eyes.
