Boy, did I ever learn that pronunciation!
The Sigma Alpha Iota chapter at the hometown university hosts an all campus sing competition. While the judges are tallying their votes, the SAIs perform and would end their performance with a very lovely - and quite slow - song about their sisterhood. At the end of the song, they sing "Sigma Alpha Iota" and would always draw out Iota. More or less as in "E-O-TA". At first, I figured it was all the Southern accents. Later I was informed by SAI friends of the correct pronunciation.
