I've heard that sororities pronounce it Zee and fraternities say Zi. Whats the deal with that? I guess we'll never know.
I think when the letter follows a vowell (Alpha), it's pronounced "zee," and otherwise it's "zi." Not sure where I heard that, and not totally sure it's valid, but it sounds good.
