alumnus noun

alum·​nus | \ ə-ˈləm-nəs \
plural alumni\ ə-​ˈləm-​ˌnī \
Definition of alumnus

1 : a person who has attended or has graduated from a particular school, college, or university

Sorry, the dictionary may say that anyone who attends a school is an alum, but I'm not accepting it. I'm not accepting the guys on my floor who dropped out after a year as alums and I'm sure as hell not accepting a loser like Tim Allen as an alum of a school I actually graduated from. What about all the people who transferred from one school to another? Are they alums of both schools. Of course not.

Grads = alums. Dropouts are not alums, despite what a dictionary says.

Hope that helps.
