oh, well, what the heck...

There is Theta Xi and Theta Chi. The Theta Xi (ZY, not ZEE)
outfit is kidded sometimes as "The Taxi"
Theta Chi is sometimes called "Circle Bar X"
ANYBODY, anywhere, who says moo obviously must be calling
the cows or suffers from brain damage. It is MEW...
Alpha is ALfa, not ALLfa 'cept in ancient Greek
Zeta is always Zayta; in old Greek, ZEETA
Iota is called E-ohta by the musical sorority, Sigma Alpha Iota,
but they generally are not up on the greek things LOL
Xi is ZEE as regards Alpha Xi Delta, but ZY in Theta Xi and the
distinguished scientific society, Sigma Xi
I have never heard Pi called Pee...it is Pie, simply Pie....
TAU rhymes with paw in all cases but in ancient Greek is to
rhyme with cow...but who speaks ancient Greek?
Upsilon is OOPseelon or OOPsilon, no matter where. You can
call it anything you want, but it is oopsilon anyway you cut it
Phi is generally called FY 'cept Alpha Phi which is Alpha FEE, but the SAEs all know what Phi Alpha is...LOL!
Omega is O-may-guh...ancient Greek, O-mee-guh.
Now go out and rush. Check out a copy of Baird's Manual, you
will learn many interesting things. And don't forget rush.
