White Elephant

December 21, 2017

ISY holds a white elephant event annually and this year's white elephant is joined by new participants along with new staff and former ISY participants. White Elephant is a gift exchange exercise where everyone contributes an unisex wrapped gift and takes turns to unwrap a gift from the center or steal someone's opened gift. Each gift can only be stolen up to three times. Everyone is given a number based on the amount of participants. The exercise goes in chronological order until everyone’s number has been called.

“During the event, I’ve realized that doing certain activities help bond others together even though we may not be so familiar with one another. Meeting new people is such a thriller, I just couldn’t help it, but laugh and enjoy my live to the fullest.” -Justin Li
