I remember going over the Greek Alphabet in my head thinking, where is there a "PHEE"?? Alright I'm done with the randomness now...

My husband is an
AFD. A bunch of years back, they had a pledge from Greece. He had to unlearn the proper Greek alphabet, in order to learn the collegiate one. "PHI" is apparently phee when pronounced correctly. Mu & nu are me-uuu and ne-uuu, not moo and nu. Beta is beeta. I like the collegiate way better!
Anywho, mine don't get pronounced as a word, but are often mistaken for AET. I get the "why do you only use regular letters?" um....it's a sigma! and regardless - it's an alpha & a tau, too!
