I *may* be mistaken, and I often am when it comes to RewriteRules, but I
think what is happening is that your request for "alumni/" is being
implicitly converted into a request for "alumni/index.php" by a
DirectoryIndex rule somewhere else.

So perhaps if you change your rule to...

RewriteRule ^alumni(/.*)?$ index.php?content=alumni

....then you might have more luck.
