The interjection "Hi!" is an informal greeting which is very widely used. Because of its informal nature, you would not use it in greeting, for example, a person of great authority. Nonetheless, its wide usage makes it very much part of the English language.

What constitutes "proper" will depend on your definition. Do you mean "formal", or do you mean "used by English speakers"?
