I have always heard it as 'Ooop'silon, or for example: Delta 'Ooops' I joined the wrong fraternity. Just kidding.
I know that Alpha Phi (fee) has a reason why it is called that, rather than (fi), something to do with the pronunciation of the letters at that time in history??? Could be wrong though.
I guess it depends where YOU ALL are in the country and how ALL YA'LL parents raised ya.
I will tell you this though, if you are from Michigans Upper Penninsula, you'd be saying "Yooopsilon".
