Court reporter needs help with Greek name please!!!!!
 
I am a court reporter in Jacksonville. In taking a deposition of a lady here in town her sorority is bought up more times than I really count. She is supposed to be in it in the natinal level, but I can not find it listed anywhere, including here. Of course, I do not know how to spell it, so that might be slowing me down somewhat http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif If someone knows the correct spelling, you would be saving me a world of work. It sounds like Phi Fie to me. Any ideas will be greatly appriecated. Thank you.

lauren,
im no expert on greek letters, but i have a chart here, and i know that Phi is a real letter, and all the other letters that could be 'fie' are, in my opinion; xi, pi, chi and psi.
that probably didnt help, but i'll bet someone else knows more than i do

check out the chart of the greek alphabet with the actual greek letters and english names at: www.msoe.edu/~tritt/greeklr.html

that should be the right address, maybe this will help.

ethan ;o

Lauren,
She might be a Pi Beta Phi. They usually go by Phi Phi.

sometimes the phi is pronounced as fie
go figure

It is probably Pi Phi (It rhymes).

sounds like pi phi like everyone else has said. By the way, phi is pronounced like "fee" if it follows a greek vowel, otherwise it is pronounced like 'fie" (long I). Hope it helps
