All right darlin'...you're an alumna...because you're a woman. And a bunch of us are alumnae.
Men - one is an alumnus and more than one are alumni.
And your college's organized group of former students is referred to as alumni, because it has both male and female members.
Informally, I'm an alum and a bunch of us are alums.

Sorry, that's just a pet peeve of mine!

Welcome!
