It is likely that they refer to the women as a "former XYZ" because UT and other Texas universities don't use the term alumna/e/i, they use "former student" or "ex-student". Coming from Ohio/ Michigan, I find it strange to see car stickers proclaiming someone to be a member of the "Texas Ex-student Association" and not the "Alumnae Association". I don't think the author was making a statement regarding dedication, or involvement but was simply using local terminology.
