12/13 5PM December General Body Meeting
I.e. Winter Throwdown Location Reber Bldg (To be confirmed)
MEGA will be hosting its Winter general body meeting December 13th at 5PM. RSVP and sign up for white elephant here!
In case of inclement weather, there will be a snowball throwdown fight. Food ideas encouraged, please contact cag46@psu.edu if you have suggestions.
The plan is for there to be a White Elephant activity whose rules are shown below:
In a White Elephant gift exchange, each participant brings a wrapped, unmarked gift and places it in a designated area. Guests are given numbers as they arrive, or their names are randomly drawn, and they select gifts in that order — with a twist.
On the first turn, the person assigned with #1 picks out a gift. On the second turn, the person assigned with #2 gets the choice of “stealing” #1’s gift or choosing a wrapped one from the pile.
As subsequent players take their turns, they either select a new gift or take any already gift from any of the other players. Have any player who has a gift taken away either choose a new gift or take another gift from another player.
There are a total of 3 rounds
