Because I'm in a mood right now, you are an alumnA of your sorority. The term "alumnI" refers to more than one male member who has graduated or a group of male and female (or all male) members who have graduated. One male member who has graduated is referred to as an "alumnUS." More than one female members who have graduated are referred to as "alumnAE."

It irks me to no end when I see college decals on cars that proclaim the occupant is a "University of Podunk Alumni." I guess this could be correct if the people who own/use the car are graduates of the University of Podunk. The only college decal that I've seen that is correct is for an all-girls college. It proclaimed the occupant of the car was a "Columbia College Alumna."

FWIW, I agree with the advice from everyone else.
