Hrm...
The only letters I've seen with alternate pronunciations are X and F, according to new member charts that show Greek letters and their pronunciations (from various GLO's).

And I've always heard that it was based on what letter came *before* the letter in question. For example, it is Alpha Xi Delta with a "Zee" sound because the letter X is preceded by a vowel. So it makes sense that Alpha Phi would be "Fee," Gamma Phi Beta would be "Feye," and Theta Xi would be "Zeye."

My only question is this:
Is Alpha Epsilon Phi with a "Fee" or "Feye" sound? By that one always confused, I am.
