I'm very excited about this and so proud of the efforts of our collegiate chapters and alumnae associations! Autism Speaks and Alpha Xi Delta is listening!

Actually, she pronounced it the traditional way! That's the way the old broads in my chapter always said it. The Zee pronunciation I think must date from the 50's or so. Technically I think it is supposed to be XCEE. Or used to be, but holding people to that pronunciation standard would be an exercise in futility.

Oh interesting, I thought that might be what she was doing, but I didn't realize that members you to pronounce it that way!

There was an alumna.... and if I remember correctly, someone who was on national council, who pronounced it that way a few years ago at convention. tripped me up, because I thought it sounded silly. But to each their own. I'll stick with ZEE because it sounds more fun to me that way.

I like Xsee, but it is a really hard sound to get right, and people would look at you like you had 2 heads, so not a fight worth having. The same is not true about spelling it as Z, which I can't tolerate.
