While I don't really hate too many questions asked (most of them at least), it always annoys me when people pronounce Alpha Phi Alpha, "Alpha 'Phee' Alpha". I could see if some reclusive Alpha Phi said it once or something, but when a professional announcer butchers it, after they've been told the correct pronunciation, just makes me shake my head. It happened during a homecoming parade a couple years back.

Actually there is more than one way to pronounce a couple of letters in the Greek Alphabet, Phi being one of them, Xi another. Still if he was already informed how we pronounce it and still butchered it than
