Actually, it's my opinion (as someone who works in this world) that even professors who are pro-Greek or just neutral about Greeks would NOT be thrilled if you asked them this. I'm extremely pro-Greek and I think I would roll my eyes at someone doing this (I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for the last two years).
So basically: don't do it.
