The Phi is a very important letter to us, and is in every one of our chapter names (like Iota Chi Phi, my chapter). We pronounce it "fie."
Not like it matters much, but in some of my engineering classes, when phi is used as a variable, most of the professors pronounce it as "fee," which really used to irk me at first.
ETA: Also, if you think about it, saying Alpha FIE as opposed to Alpha FEE just doesn't sound right... at least to me. But then, saying Iota Chi FEE or Alpha FEE Alpha sounds pretty wrong.
I think that for GLO's at least, it's just a matter of preference.
