thee is old english, I believe (thee/thou/thus, etc.)
pronouncing "the" as "thee" i think is just an idosyncracy, it doesn't really change the meaning of whatever noun it is, just makes it sound more important.
CT4: I disagree. I think it should be Founders' Day because the day belongs to the founders. (plural possessive), IMO. I've seen it all kinds of ways though, so I refer back to my grammar school English lessons re: the plural possessive.
*the above is in regards to NPHC orgs in general and not specific to ZPB or DST, specifically.*
