Actually, I'm pretty sure that there is no rule one way or another on how to pronounce "phi." (The one about it being "fee" after following a vowel just doesn't hold water -- Alpha Phi Alpha or Alpha Epsilon Phi being obvious examples to the contrary.) "Fee" is the Greek way of pronouncing it and "fie" is the more American pronunciation -- individual GLOs or chapters choose how they want to say it. Same with Xi -- it is pronounced "zie," "zee," or "k-zee" depending on the chapter.
