If Alma and his brethren are astonished that all are giving the same prayer, that indicates that their expectation of prayer is that it ought not be so formal.
Alma would not mind that different colleges each suppose their own sports teams are the best. What Alma finds disruptive is the same marker of pride that we have seen from other prophets in the Book of Mormon.
Alma does not have to hear their pride, he can see it in what they wear, and in the ceremony that is designed to highlight that visual appearance by placing the wearer above the crowd is full display.
Alma was born in about 173 BC As a young man, Alma was one of King Noah's corrupt priests in the land of Nephi.
Finally, in about 120 BC, Alma's people escaped the Lamanites and were led by God through the wilderness for twelve days until they arrived in the land of Zarahemla, then the chief Nephite population center.
Shortly before his death, Alma conferred the office of high priest upon his son, who was also named Alma (often referred to as "Alma the Younger").
