May regret this but here goes:I'm not 100% convinced, but for the sake of having all the facts I found two things that could support your theory:
Firstly, after our tennis date with Jill, she posts on Rooster about it. Tybalt leaves several cringe posts, as usual. Then Sage, out of nowhere, responds by saying "Give it a rest, {Tybalt's tag}". He tags her back and immediately says "This is hardly any of your business!" This is significant because, unless I totally blanked on something, this is the first time Sage and Tybalt have interacted at all. Not only that, but I don't think Sage and Jill have interacted either, so why would Sage chime in on one of her posts? Maybe instead she was following Tybalt, if he is her brother, and got tired of him shamelessly sniffing after this girl? I can easily read that exchange as one between siblings.
The second thing is the wording red-headed guy uses when talking about his daughter: "And can you believe that I've yet to find my daughter in this crowd? I was under the impression she'd attend the party." Why would Sage's father expect to see her at a prep party? She clearly doesn't associate with them, and nobody knew the HOTs would be there. On the other hand, if we buy your idea above, red-headed guy could be Jill's father. This would explain why the businessmen are polite to his face despite clearly disliking him, and why the prep students want to impress him: he's a Royce.
Again, I'm not sure I'm 100% behind the idea that Sage is secretly a Burke, but I can't dismiss it out of hand...
Many colleges have a greek council where officers of fraternities and sororities meet to discuss joint business. Given that it appears both Tybalt and Sage have somehow been presidents of their respective houses since they were sophomores it is likely that they have had many interactions before. That cluck reads of "I'm so tired of dealing with this melon humper and want to smack him down from being a creep"
I will admit there is a way to read the words about his daughter to mean "I expected to see Jill since she lives in this mansion". However I don't see why Sage's father wouldn't expect to see her there. He easily could have called her and said hey I'll be at the university this weekend for a prep party what are you doing. Additionally many people, including presumably the guest list of the party, may have known the hots would be there. It's only due to plot contrivance that doesn't make much sense, pretending both Tommy and JB somehow wouldn't have a single discussion with their girlfriends, that the DIKs don't know the hots will be there.
