Neither, apparently, are you. If you were, you'd know that not only is alumni a plural (the singular being alumnus), but that it is a masculine plural. Molly would be, if anything, an alumna (plural: alumnae, pronounced "a-lum-nee"): the feminine.

No toy poodle has ever graduated from USC without demonstrating proficiency in both Latin and Greek.
