I went to CMU and am a software engineer at Facebook.

Out of curiosity, why do you think that having an Ivy League degree is necessary? Is there anything we did to convey that impression, or anything we can do to combat it preemptively?

Well, I just have noticed that many people have gone to Stanford or Harvard, you know big name schools. I don't have hard data, but thanks for the comment :)

Just as a quick note, Stanford isn't an Ivy. The ivies are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, and Yale.
