Poppycock

SUFFER!
ASK SHANK
QUESTION:
Hey Shane, last week you talked
about social fraternities and sorori-
ties. Isn't it true that there are some
Greek organizations on campus that
do not drink? If so, can 1 get some
info about them?
ANSWER:
As 1 said last week, it's not the actu-
al Greek organizations that drink, it
is the individuals that make up the
SHANE HENRY
group. Every organization on campus
has to deal with alcohol, but it should
never be a dircct reflection of an organi-
sation whether it is Greek or not.
There are tons of organizations that
are not social or academic but still offer a
Greek life experience. For example, here
on campus we have fraternities that spe-
cialize in service, religious and profes-
sional interests. With over 120 organiza-
tions at Tarleton, there is something that
will suit all of our students' interests
