Can I call myself an alum of the university if I got my MBA there?

This applies to any university, but in my case I am currently enrolled in an M7 program and wondering if I can truly, culturally and deep down, call myself a real alum of the institution as a whole.

For example, are HBS alumni real Harvard alumni?

This same question can also apply to master's degree programs like an MA or MS, or other professionals programs like a JD or an MD.
