Does Grouping Items Change delete their Effects?

I am not sure if it is possible, but can you apply different effects to individual items in a group?

I set up text boxes to come in using different entrance effects, then wanted to move them as a group.  When I created the group it deleted their entrance animation.  I found a workaround, where I created one of the text boxes, applied the motion path, then duplicated and changed the next one for the other text...but would prefer to not have to do it this way.
