Tee Smith is easily one of the most recognizable people in MTSU’s Greek community. She was nominated by a handful of people in different organizations who all pointed out the same positive qualities. Tee is a vivacious, outgoing person who would give you the shirt off of her back. One of the nominations even said Tee doesn’t get near the amount of recognition for the work she does. It is just because of her kindness and humility that Tee has earned the title of Greek of the Week.

What is your favorite part of Greek life?: My favorite part has to be Greek Week!

What position do you hold in your organization?: Right now I hold the position of Step Show co-chair.

What is your favorite MTSU tradition?: My favorite MTSU tradition is Fight Song! It’s always fun to see what the different chapters have been working on, and seeing the different ideas people had. It’s also just a fun, healthy competition to have between all of the Greeks.

What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you in college?: Like everyone else, I’m guilty of taking the Raider Express when I’m really just not feeling the walk. Well, one time, I saw the bus, but I was still a good distance away. I thought if maybe I ran toward the bus it would stop and wait for me. It didn’t.

How has your chapter helped you grow into the leader that you are today?: My chapter has helped me become so much more confident in speaking in public and voicing my opinion. So now, when it comes to giving a speech or a presentation for class, I go into it feeling so much better about myself.

Do you have any advice for students who are looking to get involved and take on leadership roles?: My advice would be to dive in head first! Just make sure that you are not taking on more than you can handle because it will take its toll on you, and not for the better. Stick with the amount you can handle, and maybe gradually pick up more if you can or want to!
