Question alpha zee or alpha zye??

hey. I had a question about the proper way to pronounce the greek letter xi. I am in a local org called alpha xi omicron, and we have always (since 1927) said "alpha zye", but recently we heard on a cal state campus the alpha xi deltas are referred to as the "alpha zees". I was woindering what the rules are with vowels and consonants and pronunciations of greek letters. Anyone who coudl helpe me out would be greatly appreciated!
thanks so much!
