Do Women’s Periods Sync Up With Each Other Because Of “Alpha Pheromones”?

I remember a girl in college who definitively stated she was the alpha female in her suite and that when she hit her period, her roommates knew to be ready to start theirs. She considered herself to be the hormonal alpha female figure. While this certainly sounds convenient and may give friends a feeling of closeness, there could be more at play here.
