Like greeklawgirl, I am also Greek.
My father, who is from Greece, always got a kick when we'd tell him "but this is how ALL the sororities pronounce it!" (my sister & I are both KD's.)
I thought he was going to pass out when I told him our open motto ("Dad, wait till you hear the girls say it with their Southern accents!") & then he would correct me on the translation.
And of course, this would all end up in a discussion of how "this proves that your American founders believed that the Greeks are the greatest civilization and most eloquent, so that they had to create their own elite societies based on Greek! Be proud of your Greek roots, Annie!"
It's no wonder that we laughed out loud during My Big Fat Greek Wedding..
