i've had people prounounce phi "phee"
|
What I have heard is that if Phi has a greek letter that starts with a vowel in front of it then it is pronounced "phee" (ex Alpha Phi) but if it starts with a consonant or if there is another greek letter behind it then it is pronounced "phi" (ex Phi Delta Theta or Sigma Phi Epsilon) ... I heard this from an Alpha Phi ... so I assume it is true.
Also being in Tri-Sigma I hear a lot of " Are you in triple E? " and also it is prnounced as "EEEEEEE!" I find it very humorous. I think its funny that non-greeks dont know what a sigma is. they all think it is an E.
