Page 8, Thursday, Feb. 14,1985, The GEORGE-ANNE Greek, GDIs share views By ALYSON BENNETT Features Writer Looks like Winter Quarter is the quarter to study. No more trips to the beach, laying out in the sun, flag football, or nice cool nights to enjoy. The only thing left to do is study. Most people come to college to better their education, but they also want to socialize and meet new people. The Greek fraternities and sororities on campus have now been put on social probation because of low GPA's. Now the question is: What's more important, fun and games, or grades? Some of the Greeks feel very strongly one way or another. Let's see how the students feel. DOMINO'S One greek said, "If greeks go on probation, then every other PIZZA organization (business fraternities, DELIVERS® sports, FCA & Wesley, etc.) needs to be put on it also.
