It allows you to bypass (some?) restrictions on who you can message.
Without it, I think you need at least to have a mutual connection. (Which wouldn't be that hard to achieve with fellow alumni.)
How does this help with asking alumni of your school for referrals? Can't you do that with a regular account?
