Question Need help w/ pronunciation ASAP!!!!!

k guys, need some help...
i need to know why you can pronounce the greek letter "XI" different ways...you can pronounce it zee, zeye, or kazee. the thing is...i always heard that it is pronounced zee when it follows a vowel (like alpha xi delta) and zeye if it follows a consenent (SP?) like delta or something. i just need to know if that is the case. could someone please help me...fast!!!!

thanks,
nicole
