Yes, it's true. It's called the McClintock effect.
It works like this. There are two kinds of females, the "drivers" and the "driven" based on the pheromones they secrete. The menstrual cycles of the driven are reset to the cycles of the drivers over time. That is why at the start of the academic year the women in a dorm are on different "schedules" but are more or less synchronized at the end.

energetically they have the ability to align their periods to eachother so they all menstruate in the same timeframe.
Yes this is true and proven

Yes it is. Some kind of "chemical agreement" between them

Yes. It often happens among women who work together, too.
