We pronounce it "FIE" ... the correct way.
Anyway.
Several years ago, when my husband and I first moved to this area, we were looking for a synagogue to join. We were coming up on the High Holy Days with nowhere to go. The United Jewish Center in Danbury, CT (which serves both the Reform and Conservative movements) had an offering: You had to meet with the rabbi, attend one Friday evening service, and attend a prospective-member tea, and you would get free HHD tickets.
At the tea, I found myself talking to someone whose name sounded really familiar, but I couldn't place it. In the course of conversation, I asked her what she did, and she told me that she was a national officer of her sorority. I asked her which one. She said "Alpha Epsilon Phi". I nearly dropped my tea. Everything clicked into place - she had been at my initiation and at my chapter installation! (Bonnie Wunsch)
We ended up joining a different synagogue, though.
