What every PC’un should know
Are you an alumnus … an alumni …?
Many graduates are confused by the terminology when speaking about alumni, so with apologies to the Honor Council, here is a little cheat sheet for everyone.
Alumnus – one male
Alumni – more than one male (pronounced “alum-n’eye’”)
Alumna – one female
Alumnae – more than one female (pronounced “alum-knee”)
Alumni – both male and female (pronounced as above)
For you chickens!
“alum” – one
“alums” – more than one
