Just pick a style and stick with it for consistency, bu I also think a lot of people don't know the differences among alumna, alumnus, alumnae, and alumni.

I agree with both the idea of consistency and that Universities should not have banners that say "Alums." But the example that KSUViolet gave was Facebook. In my view, "alums" in university publications =/= appropriate. But on Facebook, not a big deal to me.
