Some people don't care about that as much.

We had hoods for undergrad, and then at my Grad school you wore a hood but you did not get "hooded" unless you were getting your PhD.
Since I did my Master's at Pitt, there was a large graduation for everyone (Dan Marino spoke at it the year that I finished my Master's) that I didn't go to, and then a graduate school graduation that was smaller and I didn't go to that one either. Was not feeling it. My dad and I went to Paris to celebrate my graduation instead.
I don't think it sucked at all. I'm not one for ceremonial stuff, and only did my undergrad graduation because my parents were really excited about it. So much happened between when I graduated undergrad and when I finished my Master's that no one in my family really cared about the Master's anyway - they were just happy I finished it.
My cousin finished her Master's the same year and we had a "graduation" party with a cake in my hometown before I moved to Chicago.
