Assassins

Assassins is a game which combines resourcefulness, creativity, stealth and just a tiny bit of paranoia, resulting in a game where people are given a target who is from Iota Phi, and have to eliminate their target. The object of this game is to be the last one standing. Other awards are given to to people in the game as well, such as for the greatest number of kills, or the best kill story. There are variations to the game depending on who is running it.

Trivia

• In Spring 2007 (Mayen Term), Assassins took place one week after the 2007 shooting massacre at Virginia Tech. Due to the elevated panic this caused at universities across the nation, socks were utilized as the killing weapons in order to avoid trouble with the UC Davis campus.
