Best of luck for the rest of high school.

PS to the other posters, Tau is Taw, and we always pronounced MU Mew.
Xi is the same rule as phi and following a vowel.

Alpha Xi Delta - Alpha ZEE Delta
Theta Xi - Theta ZYE

I think that "mew" is the desired pronunciation of mu, since "moo" can have, shall we say, not the best connotations.
